Playful yet powerful, the North Astra is a bold all-terrain addition to your new-school freeride quiver. Lighter weight riders often find it harder to control large, stiff boards designed for heavyweights.
With this in mind, North 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.
For 2025, all North TwinTips feature the new FlipTech Mounting System, with centreline inserts for added rail longevity.
**North Flex Pro Pads sold separately**
Engineered and refined for connection, comfort and performance, our Flex Bindings give you a locked-in feel and solid support. Extremely soft KnitFlex straps are fully adjustable, conforming to your whole foot with no stitching or bunching.
Triple-density rubberized EVA footbeds provide lightweight cushioning and maintain grip underfoot when wet.
Super quick three-point connection setup ensures a customised fit, and split inner velcro straps ensure maximum comfort for all foot shapes, sizes and rider styles.
Rear eyelets have an outward kick to ensure your foot never comes in contact with them on hard landings.
Prevents foot slipping out during high rotation tricks.
With a good edge to get purchase on.
To encourage optimised weight distribution and knee alignment.
Inner and outer Flex Adjusters move forward and backward to ensure correct fit for all sizes, with comfortable foot positioning for a secure feel and use of toe bar.For a less locked-in feeling bring the inner two Flex Adjusters closer together.
Ensure a custom fit on top of foot for all shapes, sizes and rider styles. Position straps wider apart for a more fixed feel, closer together for easy board offs.
Allows for a super quick setup. Drop all the Flex Adjustors in from the top, push forward and pull up into your desired position.
Available in S/M (up to UK Size 8 or Euro 42) or M/L (UK Size 9 or Euro 43+)
The Hybrid construction has strategically placed layers of unidirectional carbon tape in high load areas, for reinforcement of the E-glass laminate, sandwiched with a Paulownia wood core. This allows for a well-balanced, forgiving flex and ride comfort.
M6 x 16mm Industry standard, super strong inserts. The same 16mm screws are used for fins, handle and foot straps.
Lightweight and impact resistant, Paulownia is a highly renewable hardwood species, with one of the highest strength to weight ratios of any wood in the world. Ultra lightweight, with a high shear force and high impact resistance, Paulownia wood forms a non-toxic core which significantly displaces the amount of foam or resin used in manufacturing, thereby reducing carbon emissions. Each board has a customised core thickness individually fine-tuned to ensure its characteristics are consistent throughout the range, no matter your size or weight.
The flex characteristic of every TwinTip Board is determined by multiple features built into each specific design. Core thickness variations and taper, as well as detailing, longitudinally and laterally, play the most significant role in controlling the overall flex and feel. Board specific laminate layups then allow us to further fine tune the flex and board characteristics. We adjust the stiffness lengthwise and torsionally in conjunction with the rocker line, plan shape view and profile of the board, to give each board its specific performance characteristics.
