North Stash Belt

The North Stash Belt is a dual-purpose waist belt designed to carry a packed parawing while doubling as a lightweight wing harness. Part of North's 2026 foil accessories lineup, it pairs naturally with the brand's Ranger parawing but is built to fit parawings from other manufacturers as well. The belt centers on a KnitFlex stretch pouch with dual-sided opening and bungee-tab closures, giving riders a hands-free way to carry a stowed parawing during paddle-outs, downwind runs, or surf foiling sessions.

Beyond storage, the Stash Belt functions as an ergonomic harness. A 3D-formed frame lined with non-water-absorbing EVA foam distributes load across the lower back, and a removable Wing Harness Hook (included) lets riders clip into a North Wing Harness Loop for hooked-in sailing when conditions call for it.

• Weight: ~550 g
• Sizing: One size, adjustable 80–135 cm waist

• Compatibility: Fits over PFD vests and wetsuits; works with various parawing brands

The Stash Belt targets intermediate to advanced foilers who ride with a parawing as a safety backup or wind-range extender. Downwind foilers and open-ocean wing foilers benefit most: the belt lets them stow a packed parawing on their body rather than strapping it to the board, keeping the deck clean and the wing accessible if wind picks up or a self-rescue becomes necessary. E-foilers venturing offshore can also carry a parawing in the belt as a rescue device.

Because the waist range spans 80–135 cm and the belt layers over wetsuits and PFDs, it suits a broad range of body types without requiring size-specific inventory. Riders who already own a separate waist harness may find value in consolidating gear, since the included harness hook lets the Stash Belt serve both roles on lighter sessions.

Within North's catalog, the Stash Belt sits in the foil accessories collection alongside board bags, mast covers, and hardware. It is purpose-built as a companion to the North Ranger parawing, though North explicitly notes compatibility with third-party parawings. No previous-generation Stash Belt exists in the lineup — this is the first dedicated parawing carry-and-harness belt North has released.

The closest competitor is the Ozone Parawing Stash Belt V2, which takes a similar approach with a high-stretch pouch and adjustable waist fit but comes in lighter at roughly 200 g and adds a hook-knife pocket. Riders choosing between the two will weigh the North's sturdier EVA frame and included harness hook against the Ozone's lower weight and external bar-storage option.
