Pump Foil Package • Dock Start • Flatwater Pumping • North Sonar
A complete North dock start and pump foil package built for flatwater starts, efficient pumping, and more time on foil without needing wind, waves, or a boat pull.
The North Pump Foil Dock Start Package pairs the compact Echo Pro Kite / Pump / Wake / Tow Foilboard with the premium Sonar Carbon Foil Edition, your choice of Sonar P1800 or P2050 pump front wing, and the inflatable North Dockstarter launch pad. This setup is built for riders who want a purpose-driven pump foil package for dock starts, flatwater pumping, and crossover foil progression.
The Dockstarter holds the board and foil in launch position so you can step or jump onto the setup from a dock, jetty, wharf, or boat platform and start pumping without a tow-in.
The Sonar P1800 and P2050 are designed for low-speed efficiency, long pump duration, flatwater pumping, dock starts, and SUP paddle-up style foil progression.
The Sonar Carbon Foil Edition gives this package a stiff, direct, high-response feel that helps riders transfer energy efficiently through every pump.
The Echo Pro is a dockstart and pump favorite, with a compact outline, concave deck, fast-release hull, and stance options that work well with larger pump front wings.
The Echo Pro is a lightweight carbon crossover board for kite, pump, wake, and tow foiling. Its low volume, compact outline, tri-plane hull, concave deck, and DropBox foil mounting system make it a strong board choice for dock start and pump foil progression.
The Carbon Foil Edition includes a CF72 or CF85 carbon mast, C700 carbon fuselage, S270 carbon stabilizer, travel bag, tool kit, and screw packs. It provides the stiff, direct platform needed for efficient pumping and responsive foil control.
Choose the P1800 for riders under 85kg or more experienced pump foilers who want a smaller, more efficient feel. Choose the P2050 for riders over 85kg, newer pump foilers, or anyone who wants more low-speed support.
The inflatable Dockstarter creates a floating launch platform between the dock and foil, helping hold your foilboard in the right position before quickly releasing as you jump on and begin pumping.
The P-Series front wings are built to maintain flight with very low rider input, helping riders hold speed, stay on foil, and build a relaxed pumping rhythm.
Pump foiling depends on efficient low-speed lift. The P1800 and P2050 are designed to keep flying at low speeds, giving riders more time to recover between pumps.
The carbon mast and carbon fuselage reduce flex and give a more immediate feel, which helps riders time each pump and transfer energy into forward glide.
The Dockstarter helps create a more consistent launch position so riders can practice dock starts and pumping reps without needing a boat pull every time.
| Component | Model | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Board | North Echo Pro 120cm or 135cm | Compact carbon crossover foilboard for pump, wake, kite, tow, and Foil Drive riding with DropBox mounting, concave deck, and pump-friendly stance options. |
| Front Wing Option | Sonar P1800 | Best for riders under 85kg or more experienced pump foilers who want efficient pumping with a smaller, more manageable wing. |
| Front Wing Option | Sonar P2050 | Best for riders over 85kg, newer pump foilers, or anyone who wants more low-speed lift and extra support for learning dock starts. |
| Mast Option | Sonar CF72 or CF85 Carbon Mast | CF72 is a strong dock start choice and works well with the Dockstarter’s mast-length requirement. CF85 adds more mast height and room for advanced pumping. |
| Fuselage | Sonar C700 Carbon Fuselage | Light, stiff carbon fuselage for efficient energy transfer through each pump and a more direct foil response underfoot. |
| Stabilizer | Sonar S270 Carbon Stabilizer | Included with the Carbon Foil Edition. Advanced pump riders may add S142 or S192 Glide stabilizers for more pump-specific tuning. |
| Launch Pad | North Dockstarter | Inflatable PVC dropstitch launch pad that holds the foilboard in position for stationary starts from a dock, boat, jetty, or wharf. |
Setup note: The Sonar Carbon Foil Edition does not include a front wing by itself. This Windance package adds your selected P1800 or P2050 pump front wing plus the Dockstarter launch pad.
Best for lighter riders, experienced pump foilers, and anyone who wants the most compact board feel for dock starts, pumping, and quick foot placement.
Best for larger riders, newer pump foilers, or riders who want a little extra board length and support while learning dock starts.
Choose the P1800 if you are under 85kg, already have foil control, or want a pump wing that balances efficiency, glide, and manageable size.
Choose the P2050 if you are over 85kg, newer to pump foiling, or want more low-speed lift and support for learning dock starts.
Dock starting is one of the cleanest ways to practice pump foiling because it removes the need for wind, waves, or a boat pull. The Dockstarter helps hold the foilboard in the ideal position, while the P-Series pump wing gives the low-speed lift and glide needed to start pumping immediately after launch.
Pump foiling is extremely setup-sensitive. Board size, front wing size, mast length, stabilizer choice, rider weight, launch method, and pumping technique all affect whether the setup feels easy, efficient, or frustrating.
