North 2024 Focus Board

North 2024 Focus Board

Explosive pop. Dynamic Flex. Precise Response. The Focus is precisely engineered to push the boundaries of performance freestyle riding. Greater traction allows you to hold that rail and edge harder, while the geometrically stiffer backbone enables more controlled take-offs. The hybrid carbon technology features unidirectional carbon reinforcement tapes for a well-balanced and responsive flex, so you can ride for longer, with flow and form. Butter-soft tips reduce the impact load on landings and slice through chop. For 2024 all North TwinTips feature the new FlipTech Mounting System, with centreline inserts for added rail longevity.

Materials

Hybrid Carbon Technology

Carbon Uni-Directional Tape

Paulownia Wood Core

Stainless M6 standardised hardware

NARROWER STANCE

More precise foot positioning enables smaller riders to remain in control across every manoeuvre and landing. The Astra has a 20mm narrower stance in all sizes compared to the Atmos.

LIGHTWEIGHT, IMPACT RESISTANT ECO CORE

Paulownia is a highly renewable hardwood species, with one of the highest strength to weight ratios. Ultra-lightweight, with a high shear force and high impact resistance, Paulownia wood forms a non-toxic core which significantly displaces the amount of foam or resin used in manufacturing, thereby reducing carbon emissions. Each board has a customised core thickness individually fine-tuned to ensure its characteristics are consistent throughout the range, no matter your size or weight.

40MM FINS INCLUDED

Strong, abrasion resistant composite fins with dogbone washers and M6x16mm standardised screws.

HYBRID BASALT CONSTRUCTION

The heart of this board is a light and strong Paulownia wood core. We’ve orientated the e-glass and unidirectional basalt tapes in the laminate layup to optimise the loading of the individual fibres, resulting in a unique construction method with superior performance. Made from natural molten volcanic rocks, basalt fibre provides a lightweight structural reinforcement that is stronger and more responsive than e-glass. The basalt UD tapes contribute to a board’s lively feel and lower weight, delivering more pop without adding an unnecessary amount of stiffness.

PROGRESSIVE ROCKER WITH PULLED-IN TIPS

Early planing and great low-end performance, with greater control when overpowered.

DYNAMIC FLEX

The flex characteristic of every TwinTip Board is determined by multiple features built into each specific design. Core thickness variations and taper, as well as detailing, longitudinally and laterally, play the most significant role in controlling the overall flex and feel. Board specific laminate layups then allow us to further fine tune the flex and board characteristics. We adjust the stiffness lengthwise and torsionally in conjunction with the rocker line, plan shape view and profile of the board, to give each board its specific performance characteristics.

RECOMMENDED WITH FLEX BINDINGS

Soft cushioning with just the right amount of grip underfoot. Pure-comfort seamless KnitFlex inners and triple-density GripFlex footbeds are combined with customised size and stance adjustments for a locked-in feel and dependable support. Sold separately in sizes S/M or M/L.
