2022 North Seek Wing Foilboard

The 2022 North Seek Wing Foilboard is a dedicated wing foil platform from North Action Sports, built around their Hybrid Carbon construction. This second-generation Seek refined the hull shape from the 2021 model with an extended waterline and adjusted rocker profile aimed at faster acceleration and cleaner liftoff. The board uses a PVC-reinforced EPS core wrapped in carbon layup, producing a stiff yet lightweight structure. A single-concave deck channels rider weight toward the center for stable stance positioning, while the corduroy deck grip — with a center-line ridge and transverse markers — provides tactile foot-placement cues for strapless riding. A recessed carry handle on the hull's underside keeps the board balanced when transporting it with a foil attached.

North equipped the Seek with a GORE Protective Vent on the top deck, a two-way membrane that equalizes internal air pressure during temperature swings without admitting water. The foil mounts via a track system with industry-standard 90 mm spacing, making it compatible with most aftermarket foil plates.

The Seek's seven-size spread — from a compact 38-liter sinker to a 138-liter platform — covers a wide skill range. The larger volumes (98 L, 118 L, 138 L) suit riders who are learning to wing foil and need surface stability during water starts, slogging, and early pumping. The mid-range boards (58 L, 78 L) target intermediate foilers who have consistent take-offs and want a more responsive ride without sacrificing too much flotation. The smallest sizes (38 L, 48 L) are aimed at lighter or more advanced riders comfortable on sinker-style boards, where reduced swing weight translates to quicker transitions and tighter turns in the air.

The hull shape handles a variety of conditions — flat-water lakes, choppy harbor chop, and open-ocean swell in the 10–20 knot range. Riders who prefer strapless foiling benefit from the tactile deck grip for foot indexing, though the board accepts standard footstrap inserts as well.

Within North's foilboard range, the Seek sits as the brand's primary wing-foil-specific board, positioned below the prone-oriented Swell. The 2022 version replaced the 2021 Seek, which shared the same general shape but received hull refinements for the second year. North continued the Seek line into 2023 and beyond, carrying forward the Hybrid Carbon construction with incremental shape updates each season.

At its current discounted price point, the 2022 Seek competes with closeout boards from brands like Fanatic and F-One in the sub-$600 range. Riders cross-shopping within North's own ecosystem might also consider the Swell if their focus leans more toward prone or SUP foiling rather than dedicated wing use.
