Midlength Crossover • Wing Foil • Parawing • Foil Drive • 50–110L
2027 North Midi Pro Wing Foil Board
A lightweight carbon midlength foil board designed for efficient takeoffs, agile wave riding, smooth touchdowns and true multi-discipline versatility.
The 2027 North Midi Pro Foil Board combines the glide and takeoff efficiency of a longer waterline with the responsive feel of a much smaller board. Its slender outline and progressive Centre-V hull accelerate cleanly across the water, helping you transition onto foil with less resistance. Once flying, the narrow nose, tapered tail and soft rounded rails keep the Midi Pro agile through carving turns, connected bumps and technical maneuvers. Built for wing foiling, parawing, downwind riding and Foil Drive, with SUP paddle-up capability in the larger sizes, it is a versatile performance board for experienced foilers seeking one streamlined crossover platform.

- Foil Drive compatible DropBox tracks
- Board bag included
- Seven sizes from 50–110L
Why Choose the 2027 North Midi Pro?
Efficient Midlength Takeoffs
The longer, narrower outline develops speed with less resistance than a short, wide wing board. This efficient glide helps the Midi Pro transition onto foil earlier and makes it easier to build momentum through marginal wind or rolling swell.
Small-Board Feel on Foil
A narrow nose and tapered tail reduce unnecessary swing weight and limit contact points during turns. Once airborne, the board feels compact and responsive despite its longer waterline.
Smooth Touchdown Recovery
The Centre-V bottom, low entry rocker and soft bevelled rails help the board reconnect with the water progressively. Instead of catching abruptly, it releases cleanly so you can recover and continue flying.
True Crossover Versatility
The Midi Pro is designed for more than conventional wing foiling. Its efficient shape supports parawing, wing-powered downwind runs, Foil Drive use and, in the larger sizes, SUP paddle-up foiling.
Shape and Construction
Carbon Full PVC Wrap Technology
A strong, lightweight 100% carbon outer shell sits over a thin layer of high-density closed-cell PVC foam. The PVC layer wraps the entire board to increase structural strength and impact resistance while maintaining efficient performance.
Progressive Centre-V Hull
A subtle V through the bottom contour parts the water progressively from the rails toward the center. This reduces the effort required to release onto foil and promotes smoother recovery after touchdowns.
Narrow Surf-Inspired Outline
The slender nose and narrow tapered tail help the board accelerate efficiently while reducing unwanted rail and tip contact. This creates a lively, surf-oriented feel when carving waves and connecting bumps.
Low Entry Rocker
A low entry rocker extends the effective waterline for efficient acceleration. Tail curve and rounded rails balance that glide with controlled release and forgiving touchdown behavior.
2027 North Midi Pro Dimensions and Volume
Choose volume first, then consider how length and width affect stability, glide and maneuverability. Smaller sizes favor advanced, low-volume performance; larger sizes add flotation and paddle-up potential.
| Board Size | Volume | Length | Width | Thickness | General Character |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5'3" | 50L | 5'3" | 18 1/2" | 4" | Smallest and most technical option for advanced riders prioritizing agility |
| 5'6" | 60L | 5'6" | 19" | 4 1/4" | Low-volume wing and parawing performance with efficient glide |
| 5'9" | 70L | 5'9" | 19 1/2" | 4 3/4" | Agile crossover size with additional flotation and takeoff efficiency |
| 6'0" | 80L | 6'0" | 20" | 5" | Versatile balance of glide, volume and responsive on-foil handling |
| 6'3" | 90L | 6'3" | 21" | 5 1/8" | Added flotation for lighter wind, parawing and multi-discipline use |
| 6'6" | 100L | 6'6" | 22" | 5 1/4" | Stable high-volume crossover with strong glide and paddle-up potential |
| 6'9" | 110L | 6'9" | 22 1/4" | 5 1/2" | Maximum flotation, glide and SUP paddle-up suitability in the range |
Sizing note: A board with volume close to the rider’s weight in kilograms provides a useful starting point for flotation, light-wind winging and easier knee or standing starts. Advanced riders may choose substantially less volume for a more responsive setup. Conditions, foil size and personal balance can materially change the best choice.
Which Midi Pro Size Should You Choose?
Maximum Agility
Choose the 50L or 60L for advanced wing foiling and parawing use when minimum board size and quick response matter more than standing stability. These sizes require dependable starts and confident low-volume board handling.
Performance Crossover
The 70L and 80L sizes balance efficient takeoffs with a lively feel on foil. They suit experienced riders looking for one board for powered winging, parawing, waves and occasional downwind use.
Versatile High Volume
The 90L adds meaningful flotation without becoming excessively wide. It is a strong choice for riders wanting midlength efficiency in lighter wind while retaining agile wave and parawing performance.
Maximum Glide and Flotation
Choose the 100L or 110L when flotation, light-wind starts and paddle-up capability take priority. These larger sizes are the most suitable Midi Pro options for SUP foil starts and heavier riders.
One Board for Multiple Foiling Disciplines
Wing Foiling
The extended waterline accelerates efficiently in lighter wind, while the narrow outline feels responsive once flying. It suits performance freeride, swell riding and riders who prefer an efficient midlength over a short, wide board.
Parawing
Efficient glide helps the board build speed with the compact power of a parawing. The agile outline remains easy to carve after the wing is packed away and the rider transitions to swell riding.
Downwind and Bump Riding
The slender waterline carries speed between bumps, while the narrow tail and soft rails allow the board to link turns without feeling oversized. It is especially well suited to wing-assisted and parawing downwind runs.
SUP Paddle-Up
The larger 100L and 110L sizes offer the most flotation and waterline for paddle-powered starts. Rider skill, weight, paddle technique and local swell conditions should guide final size selection.
Foil Drive
The DropBox track system allows a Foil Drive mast to be inserted with screws and T-nuts already assembled. Slide the setup into position, align it using the track guide and tighten the mounting hardware.
Wave Riding
A narrower nose and tail reduce outline contact during aggressive turns. The Midi Pro feels smaller beneath your feet and allows you to ride low without the rails catching or stalling through the carve.
Deck, Foil Mount and Rider Connection
Intuitive Concaved Deck
The concaved deck helps guide your feet toward a controlled riding position. It also acts as a counterbalance, reducing the sensation of heeling excessively over the board when applying pressure.
Max Traction Deck Pad
Non-abrasive EVA grip provides a secure connection without feeling harsh underfoot. Tactile and visual stance references help you locate your feet quickly during starts and transitions.
Customizable Footstrap Positions
Multiple insert positions support centerline, V-strap and offset configurations depending on board size. Riders can personalize their stance for regular or goofy riding. Footstraps are sold separately.
GORE™ Waterproof Two-Way Vent
A factory-installed GORE protective vent allows the EPS core to equalize internal pressure during temperature changes while helping prevent water from entering the board.
90mm Foil Track Spacing
Industry-standard 90mm track spacing makes the Midi Pro compatible with most plate-mounted foil systems, including compatible North Sonar configurations and many third-party foils.
DropBox Fast Foil Mounting
Open track entries let you drop in a mast plate with screws and T-nuts already attached. The positioning reference beside the tracks helps you repeat or fine-tune mast placement for rider weight and setup.
Compatibility note: Standard track spacing does not guarantee compatibility with every mast plate or hardware combination. Confirm screw length, plate dimensions and Foil Drive configuration before assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a midlength foil board?
A midlength is longer and narrower than a traditional compact wing board. The extended waterline builds speed efficiently for earlier takeoffs, while the narrow outline maintains responsive handling once the board is on foil.
Is the Midi Pro suitable for beginners?
The Midi Pro is primarily intended for intermediate and advanced foilers. Its narrow outline is efficient but less stable at rest than a wider beginner board. New riders should generally prioritize additional width and volume.
Is the North Midi Pro compatible with Foil Drive?
Yes. North specifically designed the DropBox tracks to accept a mast or Foil Drive setup with screws and T-nuts preassembled. Confirm compatibility with your exact Foil Drive generation, mast and hardware before installation.
Can the Midi Pro be used with a parawing?
Yes. Parawing is one of the board’s intended disciplines. Its efficient waterline helps create takeoff speed, while the narrow, agile shape supports carving and bump connection after the parawing is packed away.
Can I SUP foil with the Midi Pro?
North recommends the larger sizes for SUP paddle-up use. The 100L and 110L models provide the most flotation and glide, although successful paddle starts still depend on rider weight, experience, foil choice and swell conditions.
Are footstraps included?
No. The board includes multiple strap-insert options, but footstraps are sold separately. Available configurations vary by size and support centerline, V-strap and offset stance preferences.
Does the Midi Pro include a board bag?
Yes. A fitted North board bag is included along with the titanium DropBox screw pack and T-nuts.
