North Sonar Mid Aspect V2 Hydrofoil Series: The Ultimate Multi-Discipline Master

In the rapidly evolving world of foil technology, finding a single system that excels across wing, kite, and surf disciplines is the “holy grail” for riders. The North Sonar Mid Aspect V2 (MAv2) Hydrofoil Series is North’s definitive answer to that challenge. Engineered for those who refuse to be boxed into a single category, the MAv2 series delivers a blend of early lift, high-speed stability, and an intuitive “locked-in” feel that makes kitesurfing and wing foiling more accessible and thrilling than ever.

At Water Sports House, we recommend the Sonar MAv2 for its modular versatility. Whether you are bolting it onto a dedicated foil board for light-wind cruising or a specialized board kiteboard for high-speed runs, this series represents the pinnacle of modern hydrofoil design.

What’s New in the V2 Series?

The “V2” isn’t just a minor update; it is a ground-up reimagining of the Mid Aspect profile. North’s design team, led by naval architect Uli Sommerlatt, focused on expanding the speed range while maintaining a predictable stall speed.

1. Ventilation-Free Tip Breaching

One of the most frustrating moments in foiling is when a wingtip breaks the water’s surface, causing a sudden loss of lift. The MAv2 wings feature a refined planform and section shape that allows the tips to breach and re-enter without cavitating. This means you can crank harder turns and get more radical in the surf without the hydro foil washing out.

2. Extremely Wide Speed Range

The MAv2 wings are “slippery” through the water. They offer a lower drag profile than the V1, allowing you to reach higher top-end speeds while still retaining the low-end “grunt” needed to get a foil board flying in marginal conditions.

3. Modular Sonar System Integration

The MAv2 wings are fully compatible with the existing North Sonar modular system. You can switch between the lightweight Carbon CF masts for maximum response or the durable AF Alloy masts for everyday kitesurfing equipment reliability.

Technical Specifications & Size Guide

The MAv2 series is divided into two categories: the larger “Learn to Foil/Progression” wings and the smaller “Versatile/Performance” wings.

Construction Highlights:

• Pre-preg Carbon: The 700 to 2100v2 models use high-strength, lightweight pre-preg carbon for maximum stiffness and minimum weight.

• E-Glass Prime: The massive 2400v2 is available in a durable E-glass construction, offering a more affordable entry point for schools and beginners.

Tuning Your Ride: Stabilizer & Fuselage Pairs

To get the most out of your hydrofoil, you must pair it with the right tail. North suggests the following “Perfect Harmony” setups:

• For Agility (Kite/Freestyle): Pair the smaller MAv2 wings (700-1050) with the S208 or S210 Stabilizer and the C600 (short) Fuselage. This creates a loose, playful feel that is perfect for tight carves.

• For Stability (Learning/Freeride): Pair the larger wings (1500-2100) with the S270 Stabilizer and the C700 (standard) Fuselage. This increases pitch stability and makes it easier to stay on the foil during foot swaps.

Why Choose North Sonar MAv2 at Water Sports House?

Choosing a kitesurfing foil is an investment in your progression. The MAv2 series stands out because it “grows” with you. You can start with a 1500v2 to learn the basics of flight and eventually swap to an 850v2 for high-speed kitesurfing flying without needing to buy a whole new mast and fuselage.

• Predictable Lift: No sudden “surging”—the lift is linear and easy to control.

• Tool-less Perfection: Features the GeoLock load-bearing connection for a stiff, rattle-free ride.

• Global Support: As part of the North ecosystem, replacement parts and upgrades are always available.

Summary: One Foil, No Limits

The North Sonar Mid Aspect V2 Hydrofoil Series is the most comprehensive foil range on the market. It bridges the gap between the stability of a beginner wing and the speed of a high-aspect racing foil.

1. Cross-Discipline Excellence: One wing set for kite, wing, and surf.

2. Advanced Breach Recovery: Tip breaching no longer means crashing.

3. Elite Construction: Carbon pre-preg for the ultimate weight-to-stiffness ratio.
