NORTHBOUND

Powder

North Star

$599

The North Star is a volume-shifted shape you ride short and wide — float like a longer board, swing weight like a shorter one. It is the resort-powder board that turns a mediocre day into a surf session and still carves a hardpack groomer on the way home.

Demo shop — checkout is not wired. Free binding mount on every board.

Highlights

  • Volume-shifted: ride it 6–8 cm shorter than your usual board, with extra width to float
  • Short, wide footprint for quick, surfy, trees-friendly turns
  • Directional rocker-camber: nose float up front, grip and drive underfoot
  • Wide waist fits bigger boots without toe drag

The verdict

The most fun-per-dollar board in the range. Ride it short, ride it everywhere: it surfs chop and leftovers like a far more expensive powder board, then carves a groomer home without complaint. The board that makes an average day worth it.

Who it’s for

  • Resort powder and leftovers the day after a storm
  • Tight trees and quick, slashy turns
  • Riders who want powder fun without a dedicated gun

Not for: High-speed straight-lining — the short length gets twitchy when you really open it up.
