2024 North Scoop and Scoop Mini Foilboard Overview
Introduction
The world of foil boarding is ever-evolving, and with the introduction of "The Scoop" for 2024, the game has changed yet again. This direct and responsive performance foil board is a testament to innovation and design.
Let's dive into what makes "The Scoop" the ultimate choice for foil board enthusiasts.
Who is The North Scoop Designed For?
Jamie Scott, the designer, sheds light on the versatility of The Scoop. It's crafted for:
- Kite foiling
- Tow-in foiling
- Boat and wake foiling
- Dock starts
- Pumping
The board is available in different sizes, catering to both beginners and seasoned riders. Your choice boils down to your experience and personal preference.
Design Features of The Scoop: What's New for 2024?
Jamie elaborates on the innovative design features that set The Scoop apart:
- Triplane Hull Design: This new design ensures earlier takeoffs and a faster release.
- Angle Planing Surfaces: These surfaces guarantee a smoother touchdown, accommodating more variable angles.
- Refined Rocker: The board's rocker has been tweaked for a balanced and smoother touchdown and lift-off experience.
- Finer Beveled Rail: This complements the smoother rocker, giving the board a sharp look.
- Tail Rocker: A slight curve behind the foil allows the board to angle upward from the tail, making it easier to get up onto the foil.
What's Included with The Scoop?
Every North Scoop board comes with the DropBox Screw Pack, which includes:
- Pre-installed t-nuts in the track boxes
- M8 by 30mm screws to attach your foil mast to the board
The Scoop is available in two sizes:
- 135cm x 49cm
- 120cm x 46cm
Why Riders Love The Scoop
The Scoop's concave deck offers a locked-in feel, making riders feel as if they are one with the board. Its forgiving nose ensures fewer crashes, and its versatility is unmatched. Whether you're into toe foiling, pumping, or dock starts, The Scoop is the ultimate go-to.
Introducing: The 2024 Scoop Mini
The Scoop Mini is a minimalist's dream. Traditionally, larger boards come with more volume, which often means using light-density foam cores. However, with the Scoop Mini's size, there's a shift to a high-impact resistant PVC closed-cell foam core. This makes the board incredibly durable and resistant to water absorption.
Design Philosophy of The Scoop Mini:
- Clean and minimalistic
- Ultra scoop nose rocker paired with a clean outline
- Flat bottom hull shape
- Max traction non-abrasive Eva deck pad
- Option for center line straps or V-straps
- Dropbox mast tracks for rider-specific adjustments
Every North Scoop Mini board comes with the DropBox Screw Pack, which includes:
- Pre-installed t-nuts in the track boxes
- M8 by 25mm screws to attach your foil mast to the board
The Scoop Mini is available in one size:
- 110cm x 45cm
Conclusion
Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, "The Scoop" and "The Scoop Mini" offer something for everyone. With their innovative design features, durability, and versatility, these boards are set to redefine the foil boarding experience in 2024.
