NORTH CHARGE 2023 SURFKITEBOARD
Developed for surfing. Designed for kitesurfing. Smooth and powerful in the line, turning hard and releasing on demand, the Charge is a high-performance surfboard. It's a fast, dedicated surf shape with plenty of projection for a powerful vertical attack in bigger waves. The Charge also excels at carving, upwind riding, land riding, and is versatile enough for aerial tricks. Our Carbon Innegra Futurelite construction maximizes the board's strength, without losing flex or responsiveness, while DualShock EVA inserts increase its durability and protect against tail dents. Refined in 2023 for improved response, speed, and handling, the new Charge delivers an even smoother, more powerful ride with a positive feel and more radical turns. Feedback from riders catching some of the world's biggest waves led us to make minor refinements to the shape to improve high-speed handling and turn handling. We've moved the board's wide point slightly forward and increased the concave under the front foot. We've also reshaped the rounded surf rails to be lower and more refined, giving the board more grip when you're carving the wave face. Also new for 2023 is the two-piece, non-slip, thin Cordura deck grip, with front and rear kicks for exceptional comfort and control.
