WING FOILING IS HAPPENING.

AND PERFORMANCE LEVELS ARE RISING.

 

Some riders “get it” right away, while others struggle, this is much down to choosing the right gear and understanding the basics technical aspects.

Our target is an early and easy take-off, superb balance while riding, easy touch down with fast relaunch.

THE SHAPE
To get started we need stability and since volume works on leverage, the further away the volume is from your feet, the more stability it creates. We placed the volume in the rails, at the square nose and at the little “platform” at the tail of the board. Stability is also created by having the feet as close to the foil as possible. We do not want to foil with “High Heels”, so the thinner a board is, the better it rides.

 

ROUND NOSE
Makes it incredibly forgiving on touchdowns as the nose bounces and skims off the large surface area, not sticking and slowing you down.

    $1,299.00 – $2,299.00

    GENERATIONS AHEAD OF THE REST
    The Generation is the best of 3 worlds; Surfing, Racing and Touring.

    It is aimed to be an easy surf, race and touring paddle board for everybody and anybody.

    NEW 14’0″ x 28″ Generation is now available.
    OUTLINE
    Fairly parallel, which delivers a predictable and controlled glide. The wide nose delivers fast acceleration when sprinting as it floats on top of the water. The tail is pulled into a square shape, making it easier to sink for fast buoy turns and most responsive to turn sharply in surf.

    ROUND VEE NOSE
    Helps lift the board to accelerate faster and maintain a higher top speed.
    It also floats over chop smoothly, making it versatile to handle all conditions.
    GRADUAL NOSE KICK
    Helps stop the board from diving in the surf and downwind, as well as lifting over chop upwind.
    The curved rocker is fast on flats, smooth in the surf and very capable in chop.

  • Starboard Foil Surf V2

    $999.00

    FLAT ROCKER = INCREASED PADDLE SPEED

    NARROWER NOSE = SMOOTHER TOUCH DOWNS

    CONCAVE DECK = INCREASED STABILITY

    The second-generation Foil Surf range is the result of extensive testing and development between designer Clinton Filen and athletes Zane Schweitzer and Benoit Carpentier. Short lengths make it incredibly easy to travel with, combined together with foil and foil wing options. Available in 4 sizes for different rider weights and skill levels. Shorter lengths are more manoeuvrable, longer sizes make it easier to paddle into waves.

    NARROWER NOSE OUTLINE
    Faster to paddle, easier to push the nose into waves, less chance of catching the nose through turns. The widest part of the outline is quite far forwards so you can push down with your chest when paddling into waves.

    ROCKER CURVE
    Slight nose kick prevents the board from pearling with enough curve to recover touchdowns. Flat tail rocker maximizes paddle speed to help get into waves early. It also maintains the foil angle is always at 90 degrees when flying, helping to trim and maintain a balanced ride.

    THICKER PROFILE
    Packs a surprising amount of float to ride such short length and pops up easily on touch downs.

     

  • KT Drifter Wake

    $954.00

    The Drifter W is a Wake / Kite crossover. Shorter lengths and smaller volumes make for easy pumping and control at speed when being towed and riding the wake.

    A slight concave deck delivers a more connected feeling to your feet. It acts like a skateboard deck where you always find something to push on when turning and pumping.

    KT Surfing’s signature Quad Concave Bottom with beveled rails and concaves in the bevels are optimized for the softest and quickest touchdown and release.

    Cutouts have been introduced for less surface area and to make the board feel smaller than it is. A beveled tail further softens the takeoff and release.

    The construction is built around an EPS core with Carbon and Glass laminate encompassing the deck and bottom. Specific reinforcements create a zero-lag symbiosis with the foil.

    All sizes come with inserts and pads, but without straps.

    Carbon & Glass Construction.

    Available in 4’0”, 4’4” feet.

    Track Box.

    Sapphire Yellow.
