2026 North Boost Board
For electric-assisted foiling on flatwater, surf and open ocean, the Boost provides fast lift to foil with impressive stability. A super lightweight, durable e-glass / full wrap PVC construction guarantees signal to/from your remote, even when duckdiving, so you’ll always have power when needed. In the 4’9 to 5’3, a recessed super-trench with DropBox hides your Foil Drive unit cleanly within the hull, reducing drag for a better ride feel and extended battery runtime. The board’s thinner profile positions the battery closer to your feet, better balancing the added weight of the Foil Drive for enhanced carving, pumping, and wave-riding performance, along with smoother touchdowns.
Key Features:
- E-glass PVC Wrap Technology
- The lightweight full-wrap PVC sandwich construction with lightweight fibreglass layup guarantees optimal signal to/from your remote, ensuring you always have power when you need it
- Efficient Take-offs
- For efficient take-offs with less battery power, the longer, narrower design with low rocker provides speed onto foil while maintaining enough buoyancy and stability for easy starts
- Auto-stance Balance Point
- Minimal stance adjustment when transitioning between displacement and foil modes. Rider and Foil System weight is balanced by volume distribution and track positioning
- Recessed Foil Trench with Dropbox
- In the smaller 4'9-5'3, your Foil Drive unit sits within the board’s hull for reduced drag and a more direct feel. Enables quick battery changes without removing the unit from the trench.
- Dropbox fast Foil Drive Mounting
- DropBox Mounting Track for fast battery changes. Reverse track installation prevents your Foil Drive system from dropping out of the board if the unit comes loose and slides forward during use
- Double-concave Centre-v Hull
- The V-shaped forward hull reduces surface drag in displacement mode and minimises stickiness, helping the board release from the water more efficiently
- Refined Bevelled Rails
- Rear rails are angled to reduce drag and enable greater rider comfort while minimising water contact during touchdowns. This will enable easier release and smoother turns.
Additional Features:
- Foil Drive 2.4GHz signal optimised - no signal lost during duckdives
- Recessed Trench in smaller sizes 4’9 - 5’3 for reduced drag and direct feel
- Trench dimensions enable battery changes without removing the Foil Drive unit
- Secure Reversed DropBox Mounting Track for quick battery changes
- Fast-planing forward hull reduces surface drag for efficient take-offs that conserve power
- Firm release edge and bevelled rails aid speed and stability, with forgiving touchdowns
- Balanced volume distribution for minimal stance adjustment between displacement and foil modes
- Wave fit - pulled-in nose and tail provides a smaller, more agile feel
- Intuitive concaved deck
- Gore™ Waterproof 2-way Vent
- Mounting Screws and T-Nuts NOT included – hardware supplied with your Foil Drive System
- Recommended for use with Sonar Integrated Foil Drive Masts
- Pair with the UHM80 FDA18 Carbon Integrated Mast for max efficiency
- Compatible with Foil Drive Slim, Max and Fusion Systems (sold by Foil Drive)
