Portable Inflatable Wing Foiling
North Seek Air Wing Foil Board
North product code: 85013.240015
Travel-ready inflatable convenience with a carbon transfer base for a direct, responsive foil connection.
The North Seek Air rethinks what an inflatable wing foil board can do. Its durable PVC drop-stitch body packs into a roller travel bag, while the full-length Carbon Sandwich Transfer base connects your stance directly to the foil mount for better control and less of the delayed response associated with a conventional inflatable. Smaller sizes deliver a compact performance feel, while the wider 5'5", 5'9" and 6'2" provide the stability and early acceleration newer riders need.
- 78L–155L Range
- Inflates to 15 PSI
- Carbon Sandwich Transfer Base
- Pump & Roller Bag Included
Why You’ll Love It
Easy to Travel With
Deflate the board and pack it into the included wheeled backpack with your pump, foil and other wing gear. It is ideal for air travel, boats, RVs and riders with limited storage space.
Direct Foil Control
The Carbon Sandwich Transfer base extends through the stance area, transferring steering and pumping input from your feet to the foil more efficiently.
Forgiving and Durable
PVC drop-stitch construction absorbs impacts and does not collect conventional hardboard dings, making the Seek Air practical for learning, family use and boat storage.
Room to Progress
Five sizes cover everything from compact intermediate and advanced setups to stable beginner boards with enough volume for easier starts.
Technical Features
Carbon Sandwich Transfer Base
North’s CST base is custom-curved to match the board’s rocker and runs through the full stance area. It creates a stiffer platform for pumping, turning and controlling the foil.
DropBox Fast Foil Mount
The 165 × 90mm DropBox lets you insert a preassembled plate-mount foil, slide it into position and tighten the hardware. Its extended adjustment range helps fine-tune balance and lift.
PVC Drop-Stitch Construction
High-pressure drop-stitch construction creates a durable, impact-absorbing board that packs down for travel while maintaining useful stiffness at the recommended pressure.
Smooth Touchdown Recovery
Steep, slightly curved rails enter the water gently and release quickly, reducing the tendency to stick after an accidental touchdown.
Sharp Release Tail
A defined rear edge helps water separate cleanly from the board, supporting faster acceleration and earlier lift onto foil.
Full-Length EVA Deck Pad
The diamond-pattern deck pad provides comfortable traction, while transverse markers and a raised centerline help you find the correct stance without looking down.
Footstrap Insert Options
Centerline and front V-strap insert configurations let you customize your stance or ride completely strapless. Footstrap mounting screws are included; straps are sold separately.
15 PSI Inflation Pressure
Inflate the Seek Air to North’s recommended 15 PSI for maximum stiffness. The included two-way pump also comes with an adapter for inflating a compatible wing.

North Rider-Weight Guide
| Size | Novice Rider | Intermediate Rider | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4'10" / 78L | Under 50 kg / 110 lb | Under 75 kg / 165 lb | Compact performance |
| 5'1" / 108L | Under 80 kg / 176 lb | Under 90 kg / 198 lb | Compact all-around riding |
| 5'5" / 123L | Under 90 kg / 198 lb | Under 100 kg / 220 lb | Progression and freeride |
| 5'9" / 132L | Under 100 kg / 220 lb | Under 110 kg / 243 lb | Learning and family use |
| 6'2" / 155L | All rider weights | All rider weights | Maximum stability |
North’s general sizing formula: Novice riders should look for approximately 30–40 liters above their body weight in kilograms. Intermediate riders can generally choose approximately 10–20 liters above body weight.
Which Seek Air Size Should You Choose?
Small and Responsive
The 4'10" is intended for light novice riders or experienced riders who want the lowest-volume, most compact Seek Air.
Compact All-Around
The narrow 5'1" combines useful flotation with reduced swing weight. It suits lighter beginners and intermediate riders wanting a travel-friendly everyday board.
Balanced Progression
At 30" wide, the 5'5" offers a significant stability increase while remaining shorter and easier to handle than the two largest models.
Stable Learning Platform
The 5'9" provides stable starts for a broad rider range and includes removable side fins for learning basic wing control before adding a foil.
Maximum Stability
The 6'2" is the widest and highest-volume option. Choose it for the easiest starts, family use or maximum confidence while learning.
Foil, Fin and Footstrap Compatibility
- DropBox 165 × 90mm adjustable foil mounting system.
- Industry-standard 90mm track spacing fits most plate-mount hydrofoils.
- DropBox 23mm foil screw pack is included.
- Centerline and front V-strap inserts are fitted to every size.
- M6 × 16mm and M6 × 18mm footstrap screws are included.
- The 5'9" and 6'2" include two removable side fins.
- The optional DropBox center-fin adapter is sold separately.
The included side fins on the 5'9" and 6'2" allow riders to practice wing handling without a hydrofoil. North recommends adding the separately sold DropBox fin adapter when a central fin is needed for additional tracking.
Seek Air or a Rigid Wing Board?
| Seek Air | Rigid Wing Board |
|---|---|
| Packs into a travel backpack | Requires full-size board storage and transport |
| Impact-absorbing and resistant to conventional dings | Composite shell requires more careful handling |
| CST base improves foil response and stiffness | Provides the most immediate, precise foil connection |
| Requires inflation before each session | Ready to ride after foil installation |
Choose the Seek Air when portability, durability and compact storage matter most. Choose a rigid Seek when maximum stiffness and the most precise performance response are your priorities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Seek Air suitable for beginners?
Yes. The 5'5", 5'9" and 6'2" provide the width and volume most new riders need. The correct size depends on rider weight and previous board-sports experience.
What pressure should I use?
North recommends inflating the Seek Air to 15 PSI for maximum stiffness and the most direct foil response.
Does the board feel like a hardboard?
The Carbon Sandwich Transfer base substantially improves stiffness and foil control. A rigid composite board still provides the most precise response, but the Seek Air offers a strong balance of performance and portability.
What foil systems fit the Seek Air?
Its DropBox uses industry-standard 90mm track spacing and works with most compatible plate-mount hydrofoils.
Are footstraps included?
No. The inserts and M6 footstrap screws are included, but the straps themselves are sold separately.
Can it be used without a foil?
The 5'9" and 6'2" include two removable side fins for basic wing practice or casual paddling. A DropBox center-fin adapter is recommended and sold separately.
