2023 North Nova Wing Review: Is It Better Than The 2022 Nova?

Matt Nuzzo and Chris Rutledge ride and compare the 2023 North Nova to the 2022 North Nova.

I've tested Nova 4.2 2022 vs 2023 on the same day end to end. I totally agree with this review, the difference is massive. 2022 is flexing much more and therefore delivers power with delay and has less power overall. The feel of 2023 was amazing, getting up on the foil with 1 - 2 pumps, instant power delivery, amazing feeling. I'm in the market for second hand wing and I'll definitely go for the 2023 model!

Killer Review Matt! Can't beat a day out getting to play with new stuff!

I just ordered the 8.0 version of this for 1/2 the cost of the 24 Loft Pro everyone is raving about. For this wing rookie I can't imagine I'll notice the difference. Looking forward to being able to get up in our ultra light winds.

I bought 2 wings one 2.5 and a 4 just to feel the wind and enjoy the beach, i bet wing foiling must feel 3 times fantastic.❤

another great review ... many thanks 👍👍

I have a north nova V3 6mtr that is for light wind great . What sizes would you get if i wanted to invest in novas for stronger winds 35mph max ! . I would be on a budget so would this be all the wings to 3.5 ! Or could i go 6mtr 4.2mtr then one smaller for high wind days .

[MatthiasKoch]

How would you compare this Wing with the Armstrong XPS? In the case of just for freeride free race, on gusty lakes with HA foils. (so no jumps, no waves nor downwind).
Thx in advance

Matt- do you agree about down sizing on the 2023 against the 2022? I'll be changing my 6m V1 nova and wonder if the V3 5m would give equiv or better get-up-on-foil performance in lighter wind conditions....or would you stick with a 6m?

[vianasurfer]

Which of the North wings would you choose as your lightwind wing now, complementing a 5m Nova V3? Nova V3, Mode or Nova LW? 6m or 7m?

[jensutbult]

What smaller size should I get if I already bought a 5? 4.2 or 3.5?

[scottjarden]

Is the water really as warm as it looks for this time of year?

[molcay]

I’m a windsurfer but never tried foil. I haven’t done any freestyles or foils with windsurf but I really want to taste the feeling of jumping with this thing. How hard is it to get to a point where you can jump with wing foil?

Is the your Armie 50L your daily driver?

14:15 was very Top Gun! Great review (but Tucker beat you to it 😅)

Looks very similar to the Slingwing V3

Do you need ear plugs if you’re wearing a hood?
