The North Cross is your everyday go-to, the ultimate all-rounder, instantly familiar, intuitive and easy to ride. Created to maximise your playtime in an ever-changing surf playground, ride real-world onshore wind conditions, flatwater and chop.
Lively and responsive, with effortless acceleration and drive off the rail, the Cross was created to shred the waves in an ever-changing surf playground, ride real-world onshore conditions, flatwater and chop. It provides generous volume and width for a fun, forgiving ride with great upwind speed, and solid pop for freestyle tricks.
For 2024 North have engineered the Cross in our new durable EcoLite Impact Resistant Bamboo construction. The Cross has an all-new surf outline with reduced nose and tail width, which provides a better wave fit for easier, sharper turns and improved control at the top end. The shape has been refined with a low-entry rocker to aid acceleration and drive and the forgiving rounded surf rails provide a responsive feel with locked-in grip.
Featuring grabbable rails on the top deck for easy air-handling and cushy contoured deck pads for enhanced control. It carves, it jumps, it pops. With or without straps, the Cross is your everyday go-to and one-board quiver. The ultimate all-rounder, instantly familiar, intuitive and easy to ride
Instantly familiar, intuitive and easy to ride, this smooth carving and super comfortable all-round freeride board blends the line effortlessly between surf, freeride and strapless freestyle.
Low Flat Skate Rocker:
Gives instant speed and drive off the back foot for optimal upwind performance.
Concave Deck Contours:
Embed the rider, enhancing control when powered up and adding another dimension for contact in the air.
Grab Rails:
On the top deck for easy air-handling and cushy contoured deck pads for enhanced control.
Ecolite Construction:
E-Glass layered with bamboo veneer top and bottom for impact resistance. By using thin layers of bamboo veneers in the laminate, you gain global stiffness of the board and impact resistance at once, while keeping the board weight really low. The new Cross has a very agile and direct feel. There's no delay when you give a steering command. It is also soft on the landings and handles the choppy conditions extremely well.
Thruster or Quad Fin Mode:
The new inserts allow you to run a quad setup, traditionally used for more grip on the rails in bigger waves. For a more vertical attack, we recommend the classic North Hexcel Coremat fins, lightweight and durable fibreglass thruster surf fins for smooth control and traction.
Compact Surf Outline:
Trimmed nose shape reduces length and weight. Reduced nose and tail width adds control at the top end and creates a better wave-fit for easier, sharper turns. The narrower, rounded pin-tail reduces the tail area behind the fins and makes the board more responsive off the back foot.
FCS Premium Fin Box:
The lightweight premium fin box allows for 9-degree rake. Compatible with both FCSI and click-in keyless FCSII fins for more speed & drive, quicker acceleration, and more response from your board. High-density foam reinforcements surrounding the FCSII fin box are shaped to match the curved template of the finbox for a clean bond and smoother load transfer into the board.
Footstrap Options:
For when conditions get challenging, locking the rider into a comfortable stance for control in high winds or large waves.
