Half the volume, twice the performance

The new Dynalite hybrid carbon board delivers dedicated strapless freestyle performance with explosive pop. Thinner, more durable and even more responsive for 2022, this ultra-light, low volume shape has evolved to help you execute your most impressive tricks in every condition. Compact in size and very grabbable, North designed the Comp to stick with you through every maneuver and pop on-demand. Higher jumps. Cleaner landings. New fast-release tail channels aid grip and control when launching freestyle tricks. The new full-length longitudinal bottom channel with centerline-V and smooth, progressive rocker design combines to reduce bounce on hard, fast landings – making strapless landings easier to stick. Push beyond your limits with the Comp, your competitive edge.

 

Highlights

New Dynalite Technology

New high-performance DynaLite construction with carbon reinforced laminate layup delivers lightweight strength and stiffness for faster feedback and more explosive pop.

New lightweight low-volume shape

New durable low-volume, high-density PVC core design for faster feedback and more direct rider response. Its thin profile and lighter weight makes handling in the air so much easier and landings softer.

New full-length bottom channel

A new longitudinal bottom channel with centreline-V runs from nose to tail. This reduces bounce on hard, fast touchdowns, softening your landing and making it easier to stick even the craziest tricks.

Technology

NEW DYNALITE TECHNOLOGY

New high-performance DynaLite construction with carbon reinforced laminate layup delivers lightweight strength and stiffness for faster feedback and more explosive pop. Biaxial Glass layers provide torsional strength, while stepped layers of unidirectional carbon reinforcement tape in specific high-stress rail areas dial in the global longitudinal flex of the board.

NEW LIGHTWEIGHT LOW-VOLUME SHAPE

New durable low-volume, high-density PVC core design for faster feedback and more direct rider response. Its thin profile and lighter weight makes handling in the air so much easier. It also makes the board less buoyant on the water, which means softer landings that are easier on your body, because there is less counter-force on landings.

SMOOTH PROGRESSIVE ROCKER LINE

The rocker is smoothed into a clean curve nose to tail, helping the board to stick to your feet during strapless tricks. Its scooped nose eats through the chop and lets you stick any landing – even tail-forward.

NEW FULL-LENGTH BOTTOM CHANNEL

A new longitudinal bottom channel with centerline-V runs from nose to tail. This reduces bounce on hard, fast touchdowns, softening your landing and making it easier to stick even the craziest tricks.

NEW QUAD TAIL CHANNELS

Pronounced quad channels towards the tail of the board provide maximum traction and control when launching freestyle tricks. We’ve reduced the thickness of tail, giving it more concave for speed and pop.

RECOMMENDED NORTH HEXCEL COREMAT FINS

Lightweight and durable fiberglass thruster surf fins for smooth control and traction. The custom fin base shape does not require FCSII infills. Fins are sold separately.

NEW DEEPER RECESSED DECK SHAPE

The recessed deck positions the rider’s feet slightly below the rail, enhancing control and adding another dimension for handling in the air. Standing inside the board is hydrostatically more stable, and combines with the V-Spine and low-volume design to help you stick your landings in any condition.

NEW FIN ANGLE ADJUSTMENTS

Finely tuned fin positions deliver more speed, more drive, more responsiveness and smoother, tighter turning.

MICRO-CORDUROY DECKPAD

The one-piece micro-corduroy deckpad with toe bump and rear tail kicker maximizes traction and control when powered up.

COMPACT DIRECTIONAL OUTLINE

The board is minimal in size with a parallel directional outline and narrow, sharp rails to allow for speed and edge control in a range of conditions. Pulled in slightly at the nose for increased top-end performance, with a wide but lower volume tail, so you can dig in the rear rail for greater pop.

BEVELLED RAILS AND SHARP RELEASE TAIL

Sharp, beveled rails and fast-release edges on the tail allow water to shed quickly and the board to release faster. The beveled rail profile reduces the suction effect of a round rail so water can shed off the rail and not wrap onto the deck.

FCSII PREMIUM FIN BOX

The lightweight premium fin box allows for 9-degree rake. Compatible with both FCSI and click-in keyless FCSII fins for more speed & drive, quicker acceleration, and more response from your board. High-density foam reinforcements surrounding the FCSII fin box are shaped to match the curved template of the finbox for a clean bond and smoother load transfer into the board. Fin boxes, leash plug and foot strap inserts are structurally integrated, locking into the laminate with the Futurelite carbon innegra system to give extra reinforcement and flex-tuning.
