North Seek Foil Board
Let the North Seek Foil Board take you places you’ve never been. Upwind, downwind, ocean roller or lake. From your first session to boosting, carving and pumping like a boss. Engineered for an intuitive and direct connection to your hydrofoil, the Seek has a stiff and responsive, lightweight and durable Hybrid Carbon construction with a PVC-reinforced EPS core. The 2022 Seek is balanced for a cleaner release and a more comfortable stance. Its longer waterline improves speed and acceleration. We’ve rearranged the volume distribution in the board for excellent stability on takeoff and touchdown, where every movement counts. And increased nose rocker improves the wave-fit and enables easier lift up onto the foil. Early takeoffs. Effortless touchdown recovery. Easy gybes and tacks. Wait, did you say jump? We say, how high? With updated volumes for each board length, you can now ride a full size shorter.

Technology
Improved speed and acceleration
The longer waterline finishes right at the tail of the board. The additional tail volume creates more stability under your back foot, making it easier to step straight into your straps as you get up on the board.
Deeper recessed single concave deck
The recessed deck results in most of the board’s volume being shifted out toward the rails, in turn providing greater balance and stability on takeoffs and touchdown.
Repositioned Free-V and Free Foil Strap Inserts
In addition to the centreline and V-strap inserts, we’ve introduced a new offline strap insert option for more ergonomic goofy or natural riding. The rear strap inserts have also been moved back for a wider stance, more comfort and stability. (Straps sold separately)
Compact outline with increased nose rocker
More forgiving rocker allows the rider to pump the board more easily, making it easier to get up on the foil, and improves the wave fit of the board. If you do touch down during a turn, rather than catch and lose momentum, the reshaped rocker allows you to continue the turn and make full use of the foil’s motion.
Steeper bevelled rails
The steeper rails add more volume to the outside edge of the board, adding again to the stability and making it easier to stand on and get going
Touchdown recovery
The V-shape in the bottom contour of the board breaks the water surface on touch down, so the board dives in gently and releases quickly, without sticking. The V also helps to funnel air under the board, which helps it to release faster.
Hybrid Carbon Technology
A light yet durable epoxy composite laminate, with a balanced carbon and e-glass fibre layup is wrapped around an EPS core. High-density closed cell PVC reinforcement around the foil track mount, leash plug and foot strap inserts spreads the load. An ultra-lightweight double bamboo reinforcement layer under the standing area adds greater impact resistance and rigidity.
Integrated PVC structural stringer system
Two high-density PVC stringers are glued to each side of this block, distributing the load lengthwise, and the full system connects the top and bottom laminate skins for maximum support.
DropBox Fast Foil Mounting Track
Our unique structurally-integrated DropBox has a longer track for a wider adjustment range, allowing you to precision-tune the foil set up for your rider weight. A measurement guide next to the track aids correct positioning. Industry-standard 90mm track spacing means the Seek is compatible with most foil systems.
GORE™ waterproof 2-way vent North Seek Foil Board
This allows air to pass in and out of the board, while preventing water from entering. The vent is factory-fitted and does not require any adjustment.
Corduroy Deck Grip with tactile and visual stance reference
Tail-kickpad and transverse markers on the deckpad provide a tactile and visual reference, giving you confidence to adjust.
