North tunes the Astra's biaxial e-glass and 3DY carbon reinforcement for lighter riders, giving the board a responsive feel through the rail and enough spring for jumps. Its narrower stance places the feet 20 mm closer together than on the Atmos across the size range, helping smaller riders stand comfortably and control the board in turns and landings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Astra is not limited to advanced riders. Its stable grip, easier planing, manageable flex and smooth landings suit lighter riders building confidence in freeride, while the edge response and pop leave room to progress into more powerful boosts and board-offs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"na-note\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWindance recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose the Astra when the standard Atmos feels too large, wide or demanding to load.
