Playful yet powerful — big air performance built for lighter riders
The North Astra 2027 delivers out-of-this-world performance to lighter riders, with responsive flex tailored to a smaller build for enhanced control across varied conditions. A narrower stance — 20mm narrower than the Atmos in every size — gives precise foot positioning, while efficient bottom shaping and rocker profile keep the board tracking fast upwind with consistent rail grip and powerful pop.
Biaxial Hybrid Carbon Technology uses 380gsm e-glass with 3DY carbon for an optimised weight-to-flex ratio, so lighter riders get responsive torsional flex without an overbuilt, stiff feel underfoot. Strategic 3DY-Beam unidirectional carbon reinforcement follows the board’s natural load paths for efficient pop on takeoff.

Construction
The Astra pairs 380gsm e-glass with 3DY carbon in a biaxial layup over a Paulownia wood core — lighter and more responsive underfoot than a full carbon board, tuned specifically for riders who need a board that flexes and pops proportionally to their weight. The narrower stance and longer integrated grab rail are purpose-built details for smaller-build riders rather than a scaled-down unisex board.
Why We Recommend It
The board to recommend for lighter riders who’ve felt overpowered or wooden on a standard big air board. The narrower stance, tuned flex and gentler landings make big air and looping genuinely accessible without compromising on pop or upwind performance.
