Nice, but what about the "pro foil"?

849 euros must be a mistake. More likely 1849 Euros when it has the North name on it. Or maybe even 8490,- :p

849 euros for an alu mast and "compound carbon" (whatever that is) wings seems the right price.

Release in June, but no prototype test reports yet?
Price seems fine if the performance is there. At that price the Zeeko aluminum is the one to beat?
Why is the foil shown ventilating in the marketing photo?

Yeah seems a little weird :/ but it is just the winglet? From what I've heard it's way better than the first North foil.

The ventilating part probably has to do with a photographer that knows very little about foiling

Strange to see the directions of the winglets , no ?
For the front wing, on top of being the first part to touch the ground, aerodynamic usages normally turn them upward, otherwise Airbus an Boeing should fire their engineers... Originality did not turn out to be a succees for North first foil, I sincerelly hope they will avoid the same story.
