A fast, dedicated surf shape with smooth turning and loads of projection, allowing a powerful vertical attack in down the line waves. Developed for surfing and engineered for kitesurfing, the Charge rides like a high-performance surfboard. Turning hard in the pocket and releasing on demand, it excels in carving, has fantastic upwind drive for onshore riding, and is versatile enough to pop strapless freestyle tricks with ease. The Carbon Innegra Futurelite system maximizes strength without losing flex or responsiveness. The full deck grip with front and rear kicks provides exceptional comfort and control. Commit to the wave and have the confidence to charge. For 2022 the Charge has a slightly narrower width overall and finer, low volume rails, more concave forward of the front foot and slightly retuned fin angles for smoother tighter turns.
Highlights
NEW Narrower Performance Surfboard Outline
NEW subtly refined outline for 2022 with slightly narrower width overall and finer lower volume rails. The widest point has been pushed forward slightly with a longer straighter rail forward, enabling greater speed, drive and responsiveness.
Low Entry Surf Rocker
For fast acceleration, speed and drive. The low-entry surf rocker combines with generous width and volume, making the board easy to ride with great upwind ability for getting back to the take-off zone.
NEW Deep Single to Slight-Double Concave Bottom
Cutting through the curves to give a fast driving bottom turn and responsive pivotal top turn with easy release. For 2022 North has introduced slightly more concave forward of the front foot.

FUTURELITE TECHNOLOGY
Carbon and Innegra Futurelite wireframe forms a structural skeleton to support the laminates, maximizing strength without losing flex, and allowing the board to load and release power on demand for more drive and responsiveness.
DIAMOND VECTORNET REINFORCEMENT
VectorNET carbon fiber diamond weave adds reinforcement to the rails, allowing flex through the mid-section of the board while maintaining the durability.
NEW FIN ANGLES
For 2022 the fin angles have been tuned for smoother, tighter turns. The lightweight FCSII Premium fin box is compatible with both FCSI and click-in keyless FCSII fins for more speed & drive, quicker acceleration, and more response from your board. High-density foam reinforcements surrounding the FCSII fin box are shaped to match the curved template of the finbox for a clean bond and smoother load transfer into the board. Fin boxes, leashplug and footstrap inserts are structurally integrated, locking in to the laminate with the Futurelite carbon innegra system to give extra reinforcement and flex-tuning.
