North Sonar 1850R Foil Front Wing 2022
IN A NUTSHELL...
The new 1850R has more lift than the 1500R. In smaller to medium waves, prone foil surfers can perfect shorter radius surf-style turns with ease. Great for wing-foiling in all conditions and perfect for learning to foil, the 1850R is also still kite-able.

SONAR REFLEXED FRONT WINGS
North's new, patent-pending reflexed-camber foil section design gives the wing pitch stability all on its own. It’s like we’ve built a mini-stabilizer into the trailing edge of the wing which counters the downward pitching moment. The reflexed wing prevents your board’s tendency to nose up strongly when you first get going. Thus it eliminates the need for you to change your position to trim the board as you speed up, or as you dropin on a wave.
The Sonar reflexed wings have a relatively large surface area, which makes them highly controllable, with incredible roll and pitch stability. Usually, a large wing means more drag, hence less speed. But because you can position the reflexed wings on the fuselage with a lower angle of attack, they feel smaller than they are in terms of their speed range and responsiveness.
A reflexed wing give you impressive control throughout the entire speed range, with extreme top-end speeds unheard of for a wing that size.
