2024 North Nova Pro Wing Review (and Vs. Mode Pro?)

In their latest Wing Wednesday episode, Tucker and Mr. Jeff from MACkite dive into the features of the 2024 North Nova Pro wing, a notable addition for enthusiasts of wing foiling and wing surfing.
They highlight the wing’s new Shift Lock handle system, distinguishing it from the previous Grip Lock model. This system offers versatility between booms and rigid handles, though they are not included with the wing, allowing riders to choose their preferred setup. The 2024 North Nova Pro stands out for its enhanced construction and materials, including the N Weave 45 frame and Matrix canopy, which provide exceptional durability and performance.
The wing is described as being robust enough for heavily powered riding without losing its shape, making it ideal for a range of conditions and particularly effective for wave riding and freestyle maneuvers.
Tucker and Mr. Jeff suggest that while the Nova Pro is accessible to beginners, its full potential is best appreciated by more experienced riders due to its performance improvements and ability to handle overpowered conditions smoothly.
Overall, the 2024 North Nova Pro is presented as a significant evolution in North’s Wing lineup, offering a blend of high performance, durability, and versatility, making it a valuable choice for both recreational and serious wing surfers.

Hi guys, thanks for the reviews. How does this Nova Pro compare to the Slick SLS for a mix of waveriding and flatwater speed? I like speed and power, but also want a playful wing. I've done a few sessions with the Mode Pro 5.5 which in my opinion was great for freeride and speed, but not that well suited in waves. Since there's no Slick SLS anymore, I'm looking at other brands using better materials without the Aluula price tag.

[@MACkiteboarding]

The Nova Pro is better suited for waves than the Mode in my opinion. Compared to the Slick SLS it has more low end range but it's slightly heavier. The N-weave 45 is the best priced high performance fabric out there, hands down. -Tucker

[@danielpugh2752]

I just got the old mode 7m (coming from old nova v2) - went out in 12 which blew up to about 20ish and was able to manage. Now looking at smaller wings (4/5) between nova, and mode - leaning to mode pro as it's gusty here. Would be interested in a comparison with the ozone flux...

[@MACkiteboarding]

Flux is a little lighter, Mode Pro has a little more top end range, VMG, and upwind ability. -Tucker

[@diegocomesana4075]

hi guys how are you? nice review,i want to upgrade my quiver and looking for something more solid but with no going crazy $ (alulla) I'm looking into get a boom wing,so i'm between duotone slick 2024 or nova pro , what do you recomend. I'm in a spitfire 1100 ,82mast, 80l boards and ranging wind usually around 12knts, thank you very much, keep it up!!

[@MACkiteboarding]

For your situation, I'd suggest the Nova Pro. You gain that material upgrade and good low speed grunt for an affordable price. The Slick is amazing as well but you'll have a hearty price tag for the upgrade to Aluula. -Tucker

[@diegocomesana4075]

@@MACkiteboarding thank you!! Keep doing reviews!!

[@JonLloyd-dw2xv]

Thanks for the review guys, for an intermediate lightweight rider would you have a 5 m nova pro or a 2024 duotone unit ?

[@MACkiteboarding]

Either one will be excellent but the Nova Pro does have a little more top end range. -Tucker

[@wylankaochari9768]

When is slingwing v4 review?

[@Wingsurf]

Bought the 6m nova pro. But where should the boom be placed? I put it all the way forward. Maybe that was wrong. 🤔

[@MACkiteboarding]

I put it in full forward position as well. The indicators on the strut show you the typical hand position so as long as you are within that, it's personal preference. All the way forward does make it easier to transition to the leading edge and lightens the back part of the wing for luffing performance. -Tucker

[@hughmorgan4949]

Hi do you find the weight of the nova pro An issue compared to other lighter wings like slicks etc

[@MACkiteboarding]

I do not as long as it's got a proper wind for it's size. If it's too light to ride, you'll feel the weight more. -Tucker

[@franotregaskis8661]

The 2023 Nova had a massive amount of down pressure in tacks, does the nova pro suffer the same issue?

[@tuckermackite7346]

I'd say average. Any wing with a lot of lift will have some down pressure into the wind. If you want to avoid that I'd suggest a forward pulling model such as the Mode Pro. -Tucker

[@larsdegroot]

This wing tacks allot easier then the '23 IMO... great video again guys!

[@MACkiteboarding]

@@larsdegroot Agree, much easier than 2023

[@scp8412]

Did I hear North mode ultra?!?! 🤤

[@MACkiteboarding]

Shhhhhhhh ;)

[@Tobeon2]

I can tack with 5.5 m2 Mode & Mode Pro, 4.2 m2 Mode, and 4.0 m2 F-one V2 pretty well, but NOT with 5.0 m2 Nova (2022) 😒😑.. Hope Nova Pro is so much better than Nova. I am also a bit torn between Mode Pro 4.8 m2 and Nova Pro 5 m2 😅

[@Wingsurf]

I'm disappointed! Been looking forward to this review for a long time. Dreaming that this video will have it.. But no.. No chicken sounds!! Ps great otherwise 🤙🏼

[@MACkiteboarding]

😂🤙🏽🐓 Thank you for sharing the stoke, my friend! Good winds to you. -Aaron

[@MACkiteboarding]

Sorry to disappoint. We ended up having to re-shoot it because my footage got corrupted. Made sense to tag team it with Jeff since he had some good insights on this wing as well. If you are craving some rooster sounds, I have some in the live AFS video we did yesterday -Tucker kzbin.infoCgbvPx2ULEo?si=btQCTJUKUEDnMioc
