Freeride / Big Air Light Rider

Playful yet powerful, the Astra delivers out-of-this-world performance to lighter riders. We’ve built the 2025 Astra with a responsive flex for riders with a smaller build, delivering increased control in a range of conditions, greater comfort, and softer landings - without sacrificing performance. The new Astra's smaller proportions, narrower stance, and lightweight biaxial hybrid carbon construction with 3DY reinforcement provide riders of all levels with just the right amount of flex for controlled edging, boosts, and loops. Its consistent, dependable rail grip gives you extra confidence to push boundaries as you load up for massive jumps. With its super-efficient bottom shape and rocker, the board feels fast through the water and flies upwind. The medium flex is dense enough to deliver clean and powerful pop, yet soft enough to forgive your knees and legs on harder landings. Sending it was never this easy.

Lighter weight Biaxial Hybrid Carbon

We’ve orientated the e-glass and 3DY unidirectional carbon tapes in the laminate layup to optimise the loading of the individual fibres, resulting in a unique construction method with superior performance. The 3DY Carbon Technology. contributes to the board’s lively feel, lower weight and pop.

New double concave to deep-v centre spine

We’ve updated the Astra for 2025 with a double concave to deep-v centre spine for smoother landings and better tracking. The updated quad channel tips help push the water flow out towards the fins, making them more effective in terms of tracking.

Narrower stance with FlipTech Mounting

The Astra has a 20mm narrower stance in all sizes compared to the Atmos. All North TwinTip boards from 2023 onwards have our FlipTech Mounting System, with centreline inserts. Smply flip the bindings around to renew your heelside rail.

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 strength and high impact resistance, Paulownia wood forms a non-toxic core. 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.

Dynamic flex

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.
