Why You’ll Love It
Explosive but Forgiving
The hybrid carbon layup provides responsive load and release while retaining enough flex to reduce fatigue and soften the ride through chop.
Precise Edge Control
Balanced rocker, outline and flex create a quick-response platform for powerful upwind tracking, dependable grip and confident big-air takeoffs.
All-Condition Performance
The Atmos combines early planing and low-end efficiency with the control required for powered and overpowered riding.
Smooth, Stable Landings
A double concave, deep-V center spine and quad-channel tips help absorb impact and maintain control after touchdown.
Performance Shape
Progressive Medium Rocker
The progressive rocker supports early planing and quick acceleration while providing control when riding fast or heavily powered.
Pulled-In Tips
Pulled-in tips deliver clean water release and responsive handling while helping the board remain composed through chop and high-speed approaches.
Medium-High Outline Curve
The curved outline creates optimized rail grip and precise carving for predictable turns and confident edge loading.
Quad-Channel Tips
Channels at the tips direct water toward the fins, improving tracking and helping the board hold a clean line during takeoffs.
Double Concave to Deep-V Spine
The center-bottom shape breaks water tension on impact to absorb landing forces and produce smoother, more predictable touchdowns.
Deep Integrated Grab Rail
A long, structurally integrated grab rail provides a secure grip for board-offs and other technical aerial maneuvers.
Construction and Technology
Triaxial Hybrid Carbon
A custom triaxial fiberglass laminate combines fibers at 0° and ±45° with strategic carbon reinforcement to improve stiffness and torsional response.
Balanced Flex Pattern
The E-glass and carbon layup creates a more forgiving flex pattern that remains fast and responsive while feeling easier on the knees.
3DY-Beam Reinforcement
North’s unidirectional 3DY carbon tapes follow the primary load paths, transferring power efficiently from the bindings to the rail.
Paulownia Wood Core
The Paulownia core provides a strong, responsive and resilient foundation for consistent flex and dependable long-term performance.
Edge Channels
Channels outside the double concave increase edge control and help the board maintain its line through takeoffs and landings.
Durable ABS Rails
Smoothed ABS rails improve durability while retaining user-friendly edge engagement and clean water release.
FlipTech Mounting System
The FlipTech system uses centerline inserts to support board rotation for more even wear and improved performance longevity.
