Let's be honest, the board looks amazing!
North has successfully blended aesthetics with utility. The board's pad provides significant grip and comfort while you're riding. Plus, reinforcements have been added under the pad at the front foot area to increase the board's lifespan.
Three-time world champion Jalou Langeree compared it to a skateboard, and I completely agree with her from the very first session. It's like a skateboard that goes on water and sticks to your feet! A real pleasure!
Since I got it, I jump twice as high and have learned a whole range of different tricks. Currently, I'm working on rodeo kiteloops!
The Comp is also very playful in small and medium waves.
