The North Sonar MAv2 is a comprehensive Mid Aspect front-wing series built around early lift, a wide speed range, pitch stability and fast, predictable turning. The larger MA1500v2–MA2100v2 wings prioritize low-speed lift and stability for progression, light wind and boat foiling. The smaller MA500v2–MA1050v2 wings step up the speed, agility and responsiveness for wing, kite, wake, surf and freestyle riding. Every size retains the familiar, easy-to-control MAv2 feel while shifting its performance toward the intended rider and conditions. Pre-Preg Carbon Wide Speed Range Controllable Early Lift Pitch-Stable Flight Fast, Predictable Turning Ventilation-Free Tip Breaching Multi-Discipline Performance Sizes MA500–MA2100 Why You’ll Love the North Sonar MAv2 One Familiar Feel Across the Range The MAv2 range lets riders progress from larger, stability-focused wings into smaller, faster sizes without changing to a completely unfamiliar handling style. Exceptionally Wide Speed Range Controllable early lift and stable pitch provide confidence at lower speeds, while the efficient outlines continue accelerating for freeride, freestyle, surf and powered riding. Playful, Agile Turning The MAv2 wings are maneuverable for their surface area. Smaller sizes turn quickly and precisely, while additional sweep helps the larger wings remain manageable and easy to redirect. True Multi-Discipline Versatility Depending on size, the MAv2 works for wing foiling, kite foiling, wake and boat foiling, freestyle, surf, prone riding, parawing and light-wind sessions. From First Flights to High-Speed Freeride Learn-to-Foil Sizes The MA1850v2 and MA2100v2 create substantial lift without requiring aggressive pumping. Their low stall speed and pitch stability allow progressing riders to focus on the wing, board and basic foil-height control. Progression and Light Wind The MA1500v2 provides more speed and maneuverability than the largest MAv2 wings while retaining accessible low-speed lift. It suits progressing wing foilers, lighter learners and light-wind freeride. Versatile Performance Sizes The MA850v2, MA950v2 and MA1050v2 balance controllable takeoffs with efficient glide, strong top speed and agile turning for intermediate and advanced riders across several disciplines. High-Speed Small Wings The MA500v2, MA600v2 and MA700v2 are designed for advanced riders seeking speed, tight turning and control in strong wind, powered kite sessions or larger waves. Key Features Mid-Aspect Versatility The MAv2 outline balances the early lift and maneuverability of a lower-aspect wing with the speed, efficiency and glide associated with a longer-span design. Controllable Early Lift Lift develops progressively instead of arriving abruptly. Larger sizes rise at very low board speeds, while smaller sizes retain manageable takeoff behavior for their performance level. Pitch Stability The foil sections are designed to maintain predictable pitch through changing speeds. This helps progressing riders control height and gives advanced riders confidence during powered maneuvers. Ventilation-Free Tip Breaching The flattened tips and refined anhedral help the foil remain controlled when a wingtip approaches or passes through the surface, allowing riders to commit to harder turns. Pre-Preg Carbon Construction The carbon pre-preg layup provides a lightweight, stiff and direct response. Consistent structural control improves turning accuracy, pumping response and feedback through the complete foil. Titanium Mounting Screws North supplies size-specific titanium front-wing screws. The required screw length changes across the range, so riders should use the hardware included with their selected wing. Small-Wing Performance Profile The smaller MAv2 wings emphasize low drag, top speed and agile turning. A flatter center section transitions into anhedral farther along the span for predictable roll and tip-breach resistance. Large-Wing Stability Profile The larger wings use more trailing-edge sweep and anhedral to improve directional stability and make their substantial surface area easier to turn and control. Performance Feel Smooth, Predictable Takeoff The MAv2 develops lift progressively, allowing the rider to establish flight without the abrupt rise sometimes associated with heavily lift-focused beginner wings. Stable Across Changing Speeds Pitch remains composed when accelerating, slowing down or transitioning through a turn. This broad operating range makes the MAv2 easier to adapt across disciplines and conditions. Locked-In Powered Control The smaller sizes retain a secure, predictable feel when riding powered or driving upwind, helping riders apply pressure without the foil feeling loose or unstable. Fast, Progressive Turning Turning becomes quicker and more responsive as the wing size decreases. Even the larger sizes use refined sweep and anhedral to remain maneuverable for their area.

Smaller wings require more takeoff speed but deliver faster turning, higher top speed and a more responsive feel. The MA model numbers reference the official wing area in square centimeters. U.S. measurements are listed first. North mounting screws retain their official metric M8 thread specification to ensure the correct hardware is used. Recommended Stabilizer Pairing MA500v2–MA1050v2 — S210 The Freeride S210 is the balanced recommendation for the smaller MAv2 wings. Its 32.6 sq. in. (210 cm²) area provides control and front-foot support while preserving the speed and maneuverability of the front wing. S178 and S208 Performance Options North recommends the High-Speed S178 and S208 as advanced alternatives for smaller MAv2 wings. Their flatter, higher-aspect shapes reduce drag and create a faster, looser and more maneuverable foil with less front-foot pressure. MA1500v2–MA1850v2 — S270 The Freeride S270 is North’s go-to all-around stabilizer. Its 41.9 sq. in. (270 cm²) area balances speed, efficiency, control and stability for the larger progression and light-wind MAv2 wings. MA1850v2–MA2100v2 — S320 Option The Freeride S320 provides additional early planing, balance, pitch support and stability. Choose it for the easiest learning setup or maximum support with the MA1850v2 and MA2100v2. North stabilizer direction: S270 is the go-to all-around choice. Move to S210 with smaller front wings for more speed and agility, or move to S320 with larger front wings for additional balance and stability. Experienced riders can use the S178 or S208 with smaller MAv2 wings for a flatter, looser and faster feel. Which North Sonar MAv2 Size Should You Choose?
