Sonar V2
The second generation of North's Sonar mid-aspect front wings, pitched as a go-to wing across disciplines. Tuned for efficiency and top speed while keeping a low stall speed, it is agile and fast-turning with a locked-in feel for powered upwind riding and tips that breach without ventilating.

North MA v2 1500 / 1200 2024
Tested: MA v2 1500 and 1200
Pros
- Speed range well beyond what's expected for the size
