AWSI 2025 – North Twin Tips with Hugh Pinfold

In this video, we are joined by Hugh Pinfold, a designer at North, as we take an in-depth look at the 2025 lineup of twin tip boards. Hugh walks us through the latest models, including the Atmos Pro, Atmos Hybrid, and Astra, all designed for freeride and big air performance. A highlight of these boards is the new 3DY Beam Technology, which enhances torsional and longitudinal stiffness while reducing weight.

Hugh details the construction differences between the models, emphasizing the Pro’s triaxial carbon weave and the hybrid’s composite structure. The boards also feature innovative design elements such as deep concaves, channels for better trackability, and Flip Tech, allowing users to extend the lifespan of the rails.

Additionally, the Astra is built for lighter riders, offering a responsive yet flexible feel. Hugh also explains how the Flex Pro bindings complement these boards with their ergonomic fit and triple-density foam for comfort and performance.

This detailed breakdown gives insight into the latest in board technology, perfect for riders pushing the limits in extreme conditions.
