North’s Description-

Freeride performance with more responsive flex for lighter weight or smaller build riders. An evolution of the Atmos, the Astra delivers clean and powerful pop and increased control in a range of conditions. Feels fast through the water and flies upwind.

Light Rider

We love the saying; dynamite comes in small packages. Playful yet powerful, the Astra is a bold all-terrain addition to our new-school freeride quiver. Lighter weight riders often find it harder to control large, stiff boards designed for heavyweights. With this in mind, we set out to create a board with more responsive flex for lighter weight or smaller build riders – one that would deliver increased control in a range of conditions, greater comfort and softer landings, without sacrificing performance. Astra’s smaller board length, narrower stance and basalt technology construction provides riders of all levels just the right amount of flex for controlled edging, boosts and loops. Its consistent, dependable rail grip gives you extra confidence to push boundaries as you load up for massive jumps. With its super-efficient bottom shape and rocker, the board feels fast through the water and flies upwind. The medium flex is dense enough to deliver clean and powerful pop, yet soft enough to forgive your knees and legs on harder landings. Sending it was never this easy.

2021 Design:

• Hybrid Basalt Technology – optimized laminate layup with Basalt UD tapes, tailored to lighter weight riders
• Dialed-in flex for explosive pop, softer landings and comfort in chop
• Enhanced edge control for easy upwind tracking and confident boosting
• Narrower stance (20mm less than Atmos) and smaller sizes
• Integrated Grab Rail

Coming in four sizes with lengths of 129, 132, 135, and 138, the North Astra offers a well performing freeride/big air twintip suiting riders of lighter weight.

KEY FEATURES:

Narrow Stance- More precise foot positioning enables smaller riders to remain in control across every maneuver and landing. The Astra has a 20mm narrower stance in all sizes compared to the Atmos.

Optimized for Light Riders- The optimized laminate layup is crafted for lighter weight riders with a responsive flex pattern for explosive pop, softer landings, and comfort in even the most aggressive chop.
