Designer Notes | Seek Air 2023

[@surfinjim]

Thank you for the presentation. I'm extremely tempted by the 5'1 (80kg, "advanced beginner"). But can I realistically consider using it also for SUPfoiling?

Hi Jean, The Seek Air is perfect for Stand-up Paddle Foiling. The board is surprisingly light with a low swing weight, the smaller 5'1 Seek Air has a high-performance feel, while the larger sizes are refined for on-water speed and fast, early take-offs, making them ideal for learning. Please let us know if you have any other questions. See you out there, Jamie 🤙

Can you provide the approximate weights in kg of 4'10" and 5'1"? Didn't find it on official page. Thanks in advance

[@NorthFoils]

Hi there, The weight of the 4'10" is 6.6kg, with the bag 10.5kg The weight of the 5'1" is 7.5kg, with the bag its 11.4kg. Hope this helps, Jamie from North 🤙

@@NorthFoils thanks for your Seek Air board. Received one week ago 4"10", already tested and happy with it. All fine, great shape, love it. You was accurate answering about weight - 6.6kg. As for next generations just one desire - a bit less weight will be appreciated. Something like 6- kg. I owned some time ago Naish Hover Inflatable 100l (2022). It had ugly fat shape but weight was near 5kg.

Hi, i'm interested in either the 5'5 or the 5'9, i'm foiling consistently (no foiling manouvers yet) with a 140l solid board, what stops me to go straight for the 5'9 132l are the finboxes. They add weight for sure and also maybe slow down your take off? i figure it's a lot of drag... any suggestion would be highly appreciated (also, i'm 92kgs)

[@bodycvc]

is it eventually possible to remove the finboxes from the 5'9?

[@NorthFoils]

Hi there, Thank you for reaching out, Generally, as riders progress from beginner to intermediate and eventually advance, they downsize. Given that you are foiling consistently, I recommend the 5'5" Seek Air as a progression from your current set-up. You will still find the volume and dimension suitable to your skill level. To answer your inquiries about the fin boxes, yes, they do add some drag, but this will be unnoticeable given the size of the boards we have added fin boxes to. Additionally, the fin boxes are not removable. I hope that helps, Otherwise, feel free to ask more questions Frankie from North 🤙
