Why Choose This Pump Foil Package?
A dedicated dock-start board
The compact Puddle Pumper V2 reduces unnecessary board size and swing weight while providing a stiff, direct foil connection. Its durable wake-style construction is designed for the repeated starts and occasional dock contact that come with progression.
Low-speed P-Series lift
The P1800 and P2050 are designed to remain flying with limited rider input. Their relaxed pumping cadence and low-speed efficiency help riders find a repeatable rhythm and carry glide between pumps.
The correct pump stabilizer
The fixed S192 Glide stabilizer is matched to both available Pump front wings. Its thin high-aspect shape supports efficient glide, predictable pitch control and reliable pumping without adding an unnecessary tail-wing decision.
Complete cross-brand mounting system
The AF Board Adaptor connects the aluminum Sonar mast to the Puddle Pumper’s adjustable foil tracks. A fixed 25mm mounting pack and T40 tool are included, so the package does not stop short at the board-to-foil connection.

Why These Components Work Together
The Puddle Pumper V2 provides the small, stiff platform needed to transfer each pumping movement directly into the foil. Its adjustable tracks allow the North AF Board Adaptor to move forward or backward so the rider can tune balance and front-foot pressure.
The P1800 and P2050 front wings are shaped specifically for flatwater pumping, dock starts and low-power flight. Instead of requiring constant speed, they deliver strong low-end lift and a more relaxed pumping cadence. The fixed S192 stabilizer complements that lift with an efficient Glide-series profile and predictable pitch support.
The shorter A600 fuselage keeps the foil responsive and supports a faster pumping rhythm. Below the board, the selected AF mast connects to the A600 through North’s GeoLock system, while the AF Board Adaptor completes the transition from the Sonar mast to the Puddle Pumper’s twin foil tracks.
This package is intentionally built around one fixed stabilizer and fuselage. The customer only needs to choose the front-wing size and mast length, reducing the possibility of assembling an unsuitable Pump foil combination.
Puddle Pumper V2 Board
The Puddle Pumper V2 is a specialized dock-start board rather than a reduced-volume wing board. Its compact outline keeps the platform manageable beneath the rider, while the full EVA deck provides secure traction during the jump, landing and transition into pumping.
| Board | Dimensions | Design Role |
|---|---|---|
| 3'3 / 8L | 39 3/8 × 17 1/2 × 1in 100 × 44.5 × 2.5cm Approx. 7.41lb / 3.36kg |
A durable, compact platform for dock starts, repeated pumping practice and clean recovery from light touchdowns. |
Specialized low-volume board: the 8L Puddle Pumper is not designed for conventional kneeling or standing water starts. Sessions begin from a dock, platform or another suitable assisted starting point.
Choose Your North Pump Front Wing
Both P-Series sizes prioritize low-speed lift, efficient glide and a relaxed pumping cadence. Choose by rider weight, pumping experience and the amount of support wanted during the first pumps.
| Front Wing | Recommended Direction | Riding Emphasis |
|---|---|---|
| P1800 | Primary starting point for riders under 85kg | The smaller and more responsive option for lighter riders or pump foilers who can generate and maintain speed efficiently. |
| P2050 | Riders over 85kg or newer pump-foil riders | Additional low-speed lift and support for first dock starts, heavier riders and anyone prioritizing an easier, more relaxed pumping cadence. |
The 85kg guidance is a useful starting point, not an absolute cutoff. Technique, starting height, water conditions and desired pumping speed can make the larger or smaller wing more appropriate.
Choose Your AF Mast
The shorter AF72 keeps the system compact for dedicated dock starts and shallow-water foiling. The AF80 adds eight centimeters of ride height and more vertical operating range. Both connect to the fixed A600 fuselage and included AF Board Adaptor.
| Mast | Published Specifications | How to Choose |
|---|---|---|
| AF72 | 72cm / 28.3in Approx. 2.23kg / 4.92lb |
The more compact dedicated pump option. It keeps the foil closer to the surface but provides less vertical room before the front wing or stabilizer breaches. |
| AF80 | 80cm / 31.5in Approx. 2.38kg / 5.25lb |
Adds ride height and vertical operating range for deeper water, while remaining a manageable in-stock alternative when the AF72 is unavailable. |
Why This Package Uses the Fixed S192 and A600
The S192 Glide stabilizer is the purpose-matched tail for both P1800 and P2050. Its high-aspect shape, thin profile and High Modulus Carbon construction support low drag and efficient pumping while retaining useful pitch stability. It is a more appropriate all-round Pump-series match than opening the package to Speed or Surf stabilizers developed around different front-wing families.
The fixed A600 fuselage emphasizes pumping response. Its shorter 600mm length helps create a faster pump cadence, earlier takeoff response and a more direct feel than the longer A700.
No stabilizer or fuselage selection is required: every available front-wing and mast combination includes the fixed S192 stabilizer and fixed A600 fuselage.
Mounting Hardware and Assembly
The package includes the hardware required for each major Sonar connection and for mounting the AF Board Adaptor to the Puddle Pumper’s foil tracks.
| Connection | Included Hardware |
|---|---|
| Board tracks → AF Board Adaptor | Four M8×25 countersunk T40 screws and four T-nuts from the fixed 25mm DropBox Screw Pack |
| AF Board Adaptor → AF mast | Sonar Board Adaptor Screw Pack A M8×40 supplied with the AF Board Adaptor |
| AF mast → A600 fuselage | Fuselage Screw Pack B M8×35 supplied with the A600 fuselage |

| Rider over 85kg | P2050 | Either mast is compatible; AF80 provides more vertical operating range |
| More responsive pumping feel | P1800 | AF72 when available for the more compact overall system |
Choose the front wing for rider weight, skill and desired lift. Choose the mast for ride height, available water depth and handling preference. The S192 stabilizer and A600 fuselage remain fixed in every configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a complete pump foil package?
Yes. It includes the Puddle Pumper V2 board, selected P1800 or P2050 front wing, selected AF72 or AF80 mast, fixed S192 stabilizer, fixed A600 fuselage, AF Board Adaptor, 25mm foil-to-board mounting pack and T40 tool. Assembly and personal safety equipment are not included as services or products.
Should I choose P1800 or P2050?
Choose P1800 as the primary option for riders under 85kg or for a smaller and more responsive pump wing. Choose P2050 if you are over 85kg, newer to dock starts or want maximum low-speed lift and a more relaxed pumping cadence.
Should I choose AF72 or AF80?
Choose AF72 for the most compact dedicated pump setup when it is available. Choose AF80 for eight centimeters of additional ride height and more vertical operating range. The AF80 is the current alternative when AF72 is out of stock.
Why is the S192 stabilizer fixed?
The S192 Glide stabilizer is matched to both P1800 and P2050. It combines efficient pumping and low drag with useful pitch stability, making it the most appropriate all-round tail for this package. Speed and Surf stabilizers are developed around different front-wing programs and are not offered as bundle choices.
Do I need another front-wing screw pack?
No. Both P1800 and P2050 include the correct Screw Pack E M8×33 for attaching the front wing to the fuselage. The separate 25mm pack in this package contains the screws and T-nuts required between the AF Board Adaptor and the board tracks.
Is this suitable for a beginner?
It is suitable for a rider learning dedicated dock starts, especially with the P2050, but pump foiling remains a technical discipline. The 8L board cannot be used like a normal beginner wing board, so instruction, a suitable starting dock and basic foil awareness are strongly recommended.
Can I use the Puddle Pumper for wing foiling or water starts?
The board can physically be used in other foil disciplines, but its 8L volume and compact 3'3 outline make conventional kneeling or standing water starts extremely difficult. It is optimized for dock starts and flatwater pumping.
Is a board leash included?
No. Leash use for dock-start pumping depends on the location, facility rules and instruction method. A leash can introduce entanglement and rebound hazards around a hydrofoil, so use only a system appropriate for the site and follow qualified local guidance.
What safety precautions should I take?
Use a dock or platform where foil starts are permitted, maintain adequate water depth and keep clear of swimmers, boats and hard objects. Wear appropriate flotation, impact protection and a helmet, inspect every foil connection before launching and avoid practicing alone in unfamiliar conditions.
