North Sonar Downwind (DW) Front Wing Series
Downwind / Pump / Glide / Prone
The North Sonar DW Series is built for speed, glide, and effortless linking in open ocean swells and flatwater. These ultra-high aspect front wings are your go-to tools for downwind runs, efficient pumping, and long-distance foil exploration. With aspect ratios up to 13.3 and wingspans from 900mm to 1400mm, the DW Series is optimized for maximum glide with minimal drag — letting you connect bumps with less effort, paddle less, and ride further.
Engineered for intermediate to advanced riders, these wings reward good technique with outstanding flow, pitch stability, and tracking. Whether you’re downwinding, flatwater pumping, or prone surfing, the Sonar DW wings deliver that frictionless, magic carpet ride.

- Pitch Stable Ride: Forgiving in turbulent waters, yet responsive to input
- Optimized for Pumping: Flatwater and dock starts made smoother with reduced lift loss
