The Prime is so much more than an entry level board. A sweet performer in all wind and water conditions, it tracks upwind smoothly and slices splash-free through the chop.
North has completely re-engineered the Prime for 2025, while maintaining its instantly familiar, intuitive and comfortable feel.
The Prime is constructed in our Composite layup. The rounded outline enables controlled edging in a range of conditions, while the progressive single concave with shallow rocker enables fast early planing and edge hold. It also has a new structurally reinforced deck with integrated grab rail, providing easy grip for board offs. Jump and boost in full control, with forgiving landings thanks to the softer flex. The Prime helps you progress faster in your free-ride game.

Technology
Early Splash-Free planing
Pulled-in flexible tips with a progressive single concave – deepest in centre and flatter toward tips – for faster early planing, a nicely tuned tip flex and slicing splash-free through chop.
Controlled Edging
For smooth, upwind tracking. The rounded outline is easy to edge, helping you stay in control and progress faster. Features forgiving flex for softer landings and confidence to jump and boost.
New larger integrated grab rail
A deeper rail is structurally integrated into the deck shape to provide easy grip for board-offs. The Grab-it rail can be used as an accessory with this deeper grab rail.
Composite construction
The Prime is constructed in our Composite layup – It has a Paulownia wood core with engineered biaxial E-glass laminate layups on the top and bottom.
Lightweight, impact-resistant core
Renewable Paulownia hardwood is lightweight with high shear-strength and impact resistance. Core thickness is individually fine-tuned, so characteristics are consistent throughout the range.
Progressive single concave
The rocker is flatter on the centre line than rails. This shallower rocker gets up onto the plane easier, then as you start to roll onto your rail, the more pronounced rocker holds power.
Dynamic flex
Core thickness variations, taper, and longitudinal and lateral detailing play a significant role in controlling the overall feel. Board-specific laminate layups further fine-tune the flex.
Durable ABS rail & smoothed edge
Long-lasting performance ABS rails with user-friendly smoothed edges help protect your skin from accidental scrapes and bruises.
Composite Fins included
Fins are a tuning device; more outline curve combined with a slightly bigger fin helps you carve in full control and maintains stability. Supplied with 40mm or 50mm fins, washers and screws.
Standardized M6 Stainless hardware
Standardized SS316 M6x16mm hardware across all twin tip boards and accessories enables the use of the same PH3 screwdriver for assembly and makes replacement of parts super easy.
Ergonomic handle
Supplied with a lightweight and ergonomic TPE material handle with grip when wet. Use TT Handle Extensions to create more handle height – ideal for riders with larger hands, or less flexibility.
FlipTech Mounting
The FlipTech Mounting System with centreline inserts means if you wear out one side of your board, simply flip the bindings around and you’ve got a new heel-side rail again.
Pair with Flex / Flex Pro Bindings
Soft cushioning with grip when wet. Featuring seamless KnitFlex inners and triple-density GripFlex footbeds, with size and stance adjustments for a locked-in feel and dependable support.
