North Sonar Stabilizer

 

S215 Surf

The S215 Surf stabilizer has a lower stall to complement the SF Front Wings. Its moderate span creates an aspect ratio high enough for efficient pumping, while remaining compact for responsiveness in turns. The minimal sweep outline improves low-speed performance and effectively reduces fuselage length compared to swept stabilizers. Tips curve upwards to provide directional stability, inspiring confidence during takeoffs and grip in turns. Advanced riders seeking a looser feel may choose to remove the wingtips, using the dashed guideline graphic, to create a completely flat stabilizer with a 205cm2 area.

  • Moderate span
  • Medium high aspect ratio for efficient pumping
  • Compact outline for responsiveness in turns
  • Lower stall speed to complement SF Front Wings
  • Minimal sweep outline improves low-speed performance
  • Upward curving tips provide directional stability and grip in turns
  • Option to remove wingtips and creating a flat loose 205cm stabilizer

 

S185 Surf

The smaller S185 Surf Stabilizer is designed to pair with the smaller SF Series Surf Front Wings. Its moderate span creates an aspect ratio high enough for efficient pumping, while remaining compact for responsiveness in turns. The minimal sweep outline improves low-speed performance and effectively reduces fuselage length compared to swept stabilizers. Tips curve upwards to provide directional stability, inspiring confidence during takeoffs and grip in turns

  • Moderate span
  • Medium high aspect ratio for efficient pumping
  • Compact outline for responsiveness in turns
  • Stall speed to complement smaller SF Front Wings
  • Minimal sweep outline improves low-speed performance
  • Upward curving tips provide directional stability and grip in turns
  • Option to remove wingtips and creating a flat / loose stabilizer

 

S145v2


The S145v2 is designed to provide the fastest, loosest surfing feel. Its anhedral rondure loosens up the front wing in the roll axis, while the foil sections ensure predictability and a broad speed range. Its moderate span creates an aspect ratio high enough for efficient pumping while remaining compact, with increased roll-ability for tighter and snappier turns. Recommended for use prone or tow surfing with smaller Front Wings, by intermediate to advanced riders seeking increased maneuverability and speed. 

  • Increased looseness and speed
  • Moderate span with medium-high aspect ratio (8.4) for efficient pumping
  • Compact outline for responsiveness in turns
  • Stall speed complements smaller Front Wings
  • Ventilation-free tip breaching

 

S320, S270, S210

Exceptional glide. Our new thinner profile and higher aspect ratio carbon stabilizers offer reduced resistance and a more efficient outline. The S270 is your go-to for all round kite, wing and surf performance, offering optimal balance, speed, efficiency and control. Pair the S210 with a smaller front wing for high-speed performance and a more agile feel. Pair the S320 with a larger front wing for early planing, greater balance and stability.

  • Clean undisturbed flow
  • Easy breach recovery
  • Thinner profile
  • Higher aspect ratio
  • More efficient outline shape
  • Less surface friction for better glide

 

S238

Flat, loose and fast. The S238 Stabilizer is a high-performance upgrade to the Sonar Foil System for experienced riders. It has a higher aspect ratio than the S270, which means less drag, and the flatter rondure (front view) enables more maneuverability. The S238 is designed to match the new MA1200/MA1500 and larger HA front wings, giving your setup a faster and more responsive feel.  The North stabs are mounted on top of the fuselage, which helps them to avoid turbulence from the flow of the front wing, creating a smoother ride. This top mounting also gives the rider an early breach warning - the stab pierces the water surface first, giving you a better chance of recovery before your front wing gets too high.  Like the Front Wings, all Sonar Stabilizers are pre-preg carbon construction, ensuring optimal stiffness and direct performance. The thin profile section reduces drag, while the material properties help maintain structural integrity and rigidity.  Stabs have a huge influence on performance. As you progress to smaller wing sizes, we recommend changing to a smaller stabilizer to be more manoeuvrable. Experienced riders will really feel the difference. A new tail can have a big impact on your style. 

  • Easy recovery from surface breaching
  • Flat / loose / fast
  • Thinner profile
  • Higher aspect ratio

 

S208

Flat, loose and fast, the new S208 Stabilizer is another high performance upgrade to the Sonar Foil System for experienced riders. The S208 has a higher aspect ratio than the S210, which means less drag, and the flatter rondure (front view) enables more maneuverability. As we’ve increased our front wing range, we’ve needed to match the lift force of the front wing with the stabilizer. While your front wing creates vertical lift, your stabilizer has a downward acting force, which prevents the front wing from nose-diving. A larger stabilizer translates into more front foot pressure, while a smaller stabilizer equals less front foot pressure. The North stabs are mounted on top of the fuselage, which helps them to avoid turbulence from the flow of the front wing, creating a smoother ride. This top mounting also gives the rider an early breach warning - the stab pierces the water surface first, giving you a better chance of recovery before your front wing gets too high. Like the Front Wings, all Sonar Stabilizers are pre-preg carbon construction, ensuring optimal stiffness and direct performance. The thin profile section reduces drag, while the material properties help maintain structural integrity and rigidity. Stabs have a huge influence on performance.

  • Clean undisturbed flow
  • Flat / loose / fast
  • Easy breach recovery
  • Thinner profile
  • Higher aspect ratio
  • Less surface friction for better glide

 

S178

Flat, loose and even faster, the new S178 Stabilizer is a high speed upgrade to the Sonar Foil System for experienced riders. We recommend pairing the S178 with Front Wing size HA950, or smaller. The S178 has a higher aspect ratio than the S208, which means less drag, and the flatter rondure (front view) enables more manoeuvrability.  As we’ve increased our front wing range, we’ve needed to match the lift force of the front wing with the stabilizer. While your front wing creates vertical lift, your stabilizer has a downward acting force, which prevents the front wing from nose-diving. A larger stabilizer translates into more front foot pressure, while a smaller stabilizer equals less front foot pressure.

S142

With their high aspect ratio and thin sections, the Glide Series Stabs allow you to cover insane distances with minimal work (downwind, pump or prone). Stabilizers need to be stiff to provide precise and predictable turning and pumping, so we’ve engineered the Glide Series with HM carbon. This allows us to achieve the high stiffness we require despite the thin, high-aspect shape. The S142 has higher performance and is crazy fast and whippy. Your average rider may find it a little more advanced for pumping, but if you put in the energy, it will maintain glide. The S142 has enough holding power to take you right up to the DW1400, but we recommend the S192 for larger sizes.

  • High aspect ratio maximises glide
  • Matches lift profile of higher-aspect front wings
  • Broad speed range
  • Low-speed takeoffs
  • Reliable pumping
