Exceptional Performance Within Reach Engineered for “accessible performance”, crafted with the design profile of a Slalom Foil sail. This sail excels in versatility, prioritizing the foil but adapts seamlessly for fin use as the wind picks up. As a result, the FreeFoil has a huge wind range. Using the full benefits of 3Di shaping we built impressive stability in flight, with lightweight performance that balances between your fingertips. Focus entirely on mastering flight and fine-tuning the foil, utilizing a sail that's purpose-built for exceptional performance in these conditions. Revolutionary technology for windsurfing, brought to you exclusively by North Sails. Go Beyond. #northwindsurfing #windsurfing #freefoil #northsails

For wind foil racers, an evolution of what was already a first-of-its-kind sail, designed from the water up. Our focus has been on improving pure top-end speed, making it easier for the rider to achieve this potential. Leveraging cutting-edge 3Di technology and advanced composite molding techniques, we've achieved significant weight reductions, making the sail feel nearly weightless in your hands. This allows you to focus solely on fine-tuning your foil and board’s trim. Revolutionary technology for windsurfing, brought to you exclusively by North Sails. Go Beyond.
Effortless Acceleration, Speed, and Performance. Introducing the FreeSpeed, the sail that pushes ‘accessible performance’ to its maximum. Designed for effortless top-end speed, it flies the board on the fin at the flick of your wrist. Leveraging the full benefits of the innovative 3Di shaping delivers a no-cam sail that’s both stable and powerful while remaining lightweight––for instance, the 6.8 weighs in at just 3.6 kg. Combining this low weight with a low center of gravity completely transforms your experience on the water. Revolutionary technology for windsurfing, brought to you exclusively by North Sails.

We are excited to announce Miguel Chapuis to the North Windsurfing team. “I've admired North for as long as I can remember. This mainly came from seeing my mother and uncle's pictures from the 80s with their North Sails and hearing the stories of how these were the sails that every windsurfer wanted to have in Tarifa. Now, this admiration has grown after testing their first generation Wave Sail and seeing the potential offered by this new technology. I am excited to use these sails and push my performance level in the water. I feel honored to be a part of the future of windsurfing.” - Miguel #NorthWindsurfing #GoBeyond
Meet the Foil Sail: https://northwindsurfing.com/products/north-slalom-foil Meticulously crafted from the water up, the Foil sail is a game-changer for racers. With a higher aspect ratio, it was designed to be super reactive for a quick flight on the foil. The Foil masterfully balances the demands of launching flight on the foil - and maintaining light handling. Remarkably lightweight, it ensures consistent trim, even during transitions, all while delivering unmatched speed in a straight line. “The lightweight and low center of gravity of the Foil sails really makes a huge difference and performance improvement in Wind Foiling, particularly around the gybes. Gybing on top of a Foil is evidently not the same as gybing on a fin, so precise control and balance are critical. The air cam really allows you to power up directly on the opposite tack instantly, so that you are quickly flying again on the other side, at top speed.” - North Windsurfing Rider, Tristan Algret

Sparked by decades of innovation under North Sails, we've brought unique 3Di technology to the windsurfing arena. Learn more: https://northwindsurfing.com/pages/3di The skin of the sail is the base of everything. This is where our 3Di technique comes into play. 3Di is built up from 5 sub features which are all incorporated and executed in one single production system. This allows us to create a three-dimensionally shaped sail from one single piece instead of the conventional sections cloth panels from batten to batten or panel to panel. By gradually changing fiber density throughout the skin we made sure load and impact requirements are being met. This is the result of shaping the entire skin of the sail in 3D, eliminating the limitation of shaping under battens, which leaves you with the only windsurfing sail on the market that has a 100% shaped surface. If this hasn’t gotten you excited yet, keep in mind that 3Di is used in making sails for the Ocean Race and the America’s Cup.
