2024 North Sonar MAv2 AF Foil Edition Bundle

The 2024 North Sonar MAv2 AF Foil Edition Bundle is a complete aluminum hydrofoil package from North, pairing the brand's versatile MA v2 (Mid Aspect version 2) front wing series with the Sonar AF aluminum mast platform. Sold as a ready-to-ride setup, each bundle includes your choice of AF72 or AF85 aluminum mast, the AF board adaptor, the A700 aluminum fuselage, the S270 carbon stabilizer with cover, a tool kit, all necessary mounting hardware, and a travel bag. Buyers select one MA v2 front wing at checkout, with eight wing sizes spanning 700 cm² to 2400 cm² — making this bundle a single-purchase entry point into North's modular Sonar foil ecosystem.

The MA v2 wing series is the second generation of North's mid-aspect platform, built in pre-preg carbon with titanium mounting screws. North designed the range so that each size shares a consistent handling character while progressively shifting the balance between early lift and top-end speed as area decreases. The result is a lineup where riders can move between wing sizes without re-learning the foil's behavior.

• Mast options: AF72 (72 cm) or AF85 (85 cm), aluminum
• Fuselage: A700, 700 mm length, CNC-machined anodised 6061-T6 aluminum
• Stabilizer: S270, carbon pre-preg, top-mounted
• Front wing construction: Carbon pre-preg with titanium screws
• Front wing sizes: MA700, MA850, MA1050, MA1200, MA1500, MA1850, MA2100, MA2400
• Board mounting pattern: 165 × 90 mm (industry standard)
• Mast-to-fuselage connection: GeoLock tapered geometry locking system

The bundle targets riders across a wide ability range, though the right configuration depends on the front wing and mast pairing selected. Larger front wings in the MA v2 line — the 2400, 2100, 1850, and 1500 — prioritize pitch stability, early takeoff, and low stall speed, making them well suited to riders learning to wing foil, those on displacement boards, or anyone foiling behind a boat in light wind. The smaller wings — 1200 down to 700 — shift toward higher top-end speed, lower drag on foil, and quicker turning, fitting experienced riders who want agility for freeride wing foiling, kite foiling, surf foiling, or freestyle.

Mast choice further tailors the setup. The AF85 provides more ride height for clearing chop and heeling into tight turns, while the AF72 keeps the center of gravity lower and works better in shallow water or prone surf foiling. Riders who want a single foil platform that covers multiple disciplines — kite, wing, surf, tow — without investing in carbon masts will find this aluminum package a practical starting point.

Within North's 2024 Sonar range, the AF Foil Edition sits as the aluminum-mast tier, positioned below the carbon-mast Sonar Carbon Edition that pairs a carbon mast and shorter C600 fuselage for reduced weight and increased stiffness. The AF bundle uses the newer A700 fuselage — 100 mm longer than the previous A600 — which North introduced to improve pitch stability and ease of learning. It also ships with the S270 carbon stabilizer, an upgrade over earlier aluminum tail wings in the lineup.

For riders weighing whether to start with aluminum or step up, the carbon edition offers roughly 30 percent weight savings and a stiffer ride, but at a higher price point. Within the AF bundle itself, the MA2400 v2 Prime variant uses North's Prime construction rather than full carbon, bringing the entry cost down further. Competing aluminum foil packages in a similar price bracket include the Slingshot Phantasm and the F-One Gravity 2200, though direct comparison depends on the front wing size chosen.
