North Sonar HA1250 Foil Front Wing 2022
IN A NUTSHELL...
New high aspect wing for high lift, speed, glide and pumpability in flat or choppy water. Unbeatable upwind wing-foiling. High aspect ratio and thinner profile generate maximum efficiency and lift with reduced drag. Wider wingspan provides stability, with a slightly longer radius turn. Exceptional pumpability to connect wave after wave.

SONAR HIGH ASPECT FRONT WINGS
High Aspect Ratio wings provide high lift, speed, glide and pumpability in flat or choppy water. The high aspect Sonar Wing has a high wingspan to chord length ratio, with a relatively thin profile – similar to a sailplane glider wing. With this style of wing, you generate maximum efficiency and lift. The short chord length defines the profile thickness, and with a thin profile comes reduced drag. The span gives you stability, with a slightly longer radius turn than a lower aspect ratio wing of the same size.
The biggest single thing that our high aspect front wing brings to the table for wing-foiling is windward performance. These wings beat upwind like nothing else.
When prone foil surfing, the efficiency and pumpability that allows you to connect wave after wave is insane.
The Sonar HA1250 is an ideal wing for those days when the rides are long, and waves peel endlessly across the bay.
The Sonar HA1450 is the bigger brother of the HA1250, designed for a heavier rider or lighter wind.
