2024 North Free Foil Strap Set

The 2024 North Free Foil Strap Set is a pair of standard footstraps engineered for use across North's foilboard range. Part of the North foilboard strap lineup alongside the Free-V and Free-V Lo options, the Free Foil set takes a straightforward two-strap approach — both straps are identical standard-profile designs rather than the V-shaped front strap found in its siblings. The straps use North's KnitFlex construction, a seamless four-way stretch neoprene inner bonded to pre-shaped dual-density foam. A stitchless interior eliminates common pressure points, and 3D-printed screw-hole reinforcements on the underside add durability without bulk. Black embossed PU leather covers the exterior.

The Free Foil Strap Set suits riders who prefer a centered or offline strap configuration with two identical straps rather than the V-shaped front strap used in the Free-V sets. This makes it a practical choice for foilers who maintain a consistent stance on each tack or who simply want a familiar, symmetrical strap feel. The set supports a wide range of foot positions and includes asymmetric washers that let you rotate 180 degrees for micro fit adjustments without repositioning the strap on the board.

Because the straps can be mounted in either centered or offline positions, they work for wing foiling, kite foiling, and other foilboard disciplines. Intermediate to advanced riders who already know their preferred stance will appreciate the tuning options, while newer foilers benefit from the generous adjustability as they experiment with foot placement.

North offers three foilboard strap configurations for 2024. The Free Foil sits as the most conventional option — two matched standard straps with full adjustability. The Free-V Foil Strap Set steps up with a V-shaped front strap designed to let riders switch feet during tacks without doubling up on straps, aimed at riders who change stance frequently. The Free-V Lo takes that V-front concept into a lower-profile, lighter package geared toward prone foiling and wing foiling where standing flush on the deck matters. All three share North's KnitFlex inner and asymmetric-washer micro adjustment system, so the choice comes down to riding style and stance preference rather than build quality. Riders who don't need the tack-switching convenience of a V-strap and want a simpler, proven setup will find the Free Foil Strap Set covers the essentials at a lower price point than the V-strap alternatives.
