Performance Strapless Freestyle Surfboard
North Comp PRO Kite Surfboard
Explosive pop, fast aerial response and controlled landings in a compact directional shape.
The North Comp Pro is engineered specifically for strapless freestyle kiteboarding. Its ultra-thin DynaLite construction, compact outline and recessed deck deliver fast feedback and precise aerial control, while full-length and quad tail channels generate grip for powerful takeoffs. A progressive rocker and centerline V reduce bounce on hard touchdowns, helping advanced riders land faster and cleaner.

Why You’ll Love It
Explosive Pop
Carbon-reinforced DynaLite construction and pronounced tail channels create the stiffness, grip and fast release needed for powered strapless takeoffs.
Easy Aerial Handling
The compact, ultra-thin shape is easy to grab and stays close through spins, rotations and technical board-off maneuvers.
Cleaner Landings
A nose-to-tail channel with a centerline V reduces bouncing during hard, fast touchdowns and helps the board settle underfoot.
Direct Board Control
The recessed deck positions the rider slightly below the rail line for stable foot placement, sharper feedback and improved landing control.
Freestyle Shape & Bottom Design
Compact Directional Outline
A parallel outline with a pulled-in nose and wide tail creates speed, dependable edge control and a compact platform for rotations.
Full-Length Bottom Channel
The longitudinal channel and centerline V run from nose to tail to reduce landing bounce and improve stability at speed.
Quad Tail Channels
Four pronounced channels near the tail increase traction during edge loading and create fast, controlled release for pop.
Progressive Rocker
A smooth nose-to-tail rocker helps the board follow the rider through aerial tricks, while the scooped nose handles chop and tail-forward landings.
Beveled Rails
Sharp, beveled rails reduce water adhesion, allowing the board to accelerate and release cleanly from the surface.
Sharp Release Tail
Fast-release tail edges shed water quickly for efficient takeoffs, greater pop and more precise freestyle timing.
Construction & Technology
DynaLite Technology
A carbon-reinforced laminate layup provides lightweight strength and stiffness for rapid feedback and powerful energy release.
High-Density PVC Core
The durable, thin-profile core creates a direct response while keeping the board compact and easy to control in the air.
Biaxial Glass Layers
Biaxial fiberglass adds torsional strength, helping the board resist twisting during hard edging and off-axis landings.
Unidirectional Carbon Reinforcement
Stepped carbon tapes reinforce high-stress rail areas and tune the board’s longitudinal flex for pop and landing control.
Micro-Corduroy Deck Pad
A one-piece traction pad with a toe bump and rear tail kicker improves grip and board awareness when powered up.
Premium FCS II Fin Boxes
The thruster fin boxes use a 9-degree rake and accept both traditional FCS I-style fins and keyless click-in FCS II fins.

Choosing Your Size
- 4'10": North’s reference size for a 65 kg / 143 lb rider; offers the fastest aerial response and easiest grabs.
- 5'0": Referenced for 80 kg / 176 lb; provides a balanced combination of compact handling, pop and landing support.
- 5'2": Referenced for 95 kg / 209 lb; supplies the widest platform and greatest stability during powered landings.
The published rider figures are reference points rather than hard limits. Wind strength, kite power, skill level and preference for either faster rotations or more landing support should also guide your choice.
