NORTH MODE PRO 2024 WING TEST

In this video I'll have the brand new North Mode PRO 4.2 for 2024 on test for you.
A special thanks to vandenbergsurf.nl for making the wing available for the test video.
First were gonna take a closer look at the Mode and then take her to the water to see what she's made off.
On the water I'll do a speed, maneuverability, jump and crash test.
If you want to know whether the Mode survived the test or not....
Just watch the video.
Have fun watching and...
See you on the water!

Please could you recommend a good wing for learning to jybe and stay on the foil? Good Jybe entry speed.

Hi Dimitartonev2722, any of the major brands modern freeride wings are pretty good for learning how to jibe at the moment. If you are looking at North I would say try the NOVA. Depending on the conditions at your local spot you should choose your size. Most brands now also have the hard handles or booms besides the soft handles the hard handles / booms are really great as you have more control over the wing. Personally I prefer the boom but that's just my personal preference. If you have a shop nearby which let's you try before you buy it would be great as the proof of the pudding is always in the eating. Enjoy the journey and... See you on the water!

Great footage and detailed info about the wing!! What's your weight?

[@Windsurfcoach]

Thank you Daniel! Of course, I didn't mention that in the video and it's rather important for reference. I'm somewhere between 65-70kg. See you on the water!!

Top notch production and layout of video. How does this wing compare to the flux and slick?

[@Windsurfcoach]

Hi @tscorched3628, thank you, great to hear! Haven't tried the Flux but use the Slick SLS often. I would say that besides the boom/hard handles the main differences are the stability and playfulness. The Mode Pro is very stable and ridged where the Slick is far more playful and light in transitions. If your looking for high speed and big airs the Mode Pro will be your friend but when looking for tricks I would chose the Slick (SLS). See you on the water!!

Very interested in their Loft Pro 8.0 light wind wing that is getting rave reviews here (US).

[@Windsurfcoach]

Hi Mike, If I get the chance I'll definitely make a video for the channel. The Loft looks pretty interesting on paper. See you on the water!!!

[@Stanton_High]

That was a huge jump. Don't bail next time haha

[@Windsurfcoach]

Hi Staton, thanks! You're absolutely right.... bailing out was chicken 😅 See you on the water!!!

[@mikeb1039]

@@Windsurfcoach Nothing wrong with bailing. Live to foil another day. ;)
