A high performance all-rounder, the North WAM Surfboard is suited to nearly all conditions from small onshore mush to powerful beach and reef breaks.

The North WAMs ability to adapt to nearly all conditions makes it the perfect travel board or the perfect one-board-quiver - it is pretty much the one board that you could take on a trip to almost anywhere in the world and it would work.

Super smooth and lively under your feet, the slightly fuller outline, semi-boxy rails and pulled in thumb tail carry lots of speed when the waves are small yet still provide hold and drive when you need it most in bigger surf.

The tri/quad fin configuration gives you the option of riding the North WAM Surfboard in quad fin mode for a more skatey and snappy feeling ideal for smaller waves or in thruster mode for more drive and more positive back foot drive in bigger surf.

North WAM 2010 versus North WAM 2011... What's Different and Why.

The dimensions are similar to last year's North WAM, but otherwise it has been completely re-designed with squash tail, continuous rocker and single to double concave with semi boxy rails. It's got a pretty full outline, so it works great to generate speed in small surf but the pulled in squash tail still gives you tons of drive to push your turns hard with lots of hold.

It's also got a tri/quad fin setup, meaning you can ride it as either a quad or a thruster configuration. The quad setup works awesome in small waves and really frees the board up for quick rail to rail transition and a skatey feel. Then, if you want a more locked in, positive back-footed feel, you can swap it to a thruster. This just adds more versatility to an already super versatile design.

North WAM Kitesurf Board 2011 Construction...

2011 North Kitesurf Boards now feature a completely new epoxy sandwich construction with a bamboo skin top and bottom, that is lighter and stronger than conventional surfboard construction. The bamboo itself has excellent dampening properties which work wonders for the overall feel of the board. The bamboo skin also makes the North Kitesurf Boards really resistant to pressure dents and dings. There are also reinforcements under the heels as well as on ding prone areas like the nose and tail and around the fin boxes.

North have worked tirelessly to achieve a traditional surf board "feel" and the new layups are optimized to achieve the desired amount of flex and dampening while still keeping it light and lively (and not too hard or bouncy feeling).
