Check it out on North&#8217;s website!<\/p>\n<p>Same accounts for the <strong>2012 Kontact,<\/strong> my very favourite model of North&#8217;s wide waveboard range.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve chosen the 6\u20191\u201d x 17 \u00bd\u201d x 2 1\/16\u201d for lighter winds and the 5\u20199\u201d x 17\u201d x 1 15\/16\u201d for strong winds, there is one more size in the middle, the 5\u201911\u201d x 17 \u00bc\u201d x 2\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 The fourth generation Kontact remains a staple of the NKB Surf Range and a powerhouse board in a class all its own. The Kontact is ideal for riders looking to ride bigger and more powerful surf, however due to its control-oriented nature, the Kontact is also a great choice for riders who want a board to handle strong wind and choppy water with ease and comfort. The 2012 model features the same popular rounded pintail but now has a slightly shorter and fuller outline than last years\u2019 model and a moderate single to double concave to improve turning and release.
