KT NOMAD SERIES OVERVIEW

KT Nomad Series Mid High Aspect Front Wings 2025

Dynamic control, exceptional speed range, and adapt-able performance across all conditions. The Nomad series is designed to unlock intuitive handling and control over an exceptionally wide range of speeds and conditions. Ideal for quickly progressing intermediate to advanced wing and surf foilers, it’s also a must-have for any level of prone, wake, or kite foiler. With a swept mid-aspect ratio design, the Nomad seamlessly flies and carves with an agile yet predict-able feel. Its unique high camber foil section enhances early takeoff, pumping, and low-speed handling, while offering steady resistance to stalling. The compact span and inflected wingtips also offer noticeable resistance to ventilation during breaching carves and turns.

OUR TAKE

The Nomad is a carving all-around foil.  Great for smaller waves, beach break, or just staying in the pocket.  If you want to progress on new winging moves, the Nomad provides a very stable, reliable, and intuitive feel.  With more sweep in the leading edge than the Atlas, the Nomad excels in that surfy feel in the turn.

With a slightly lower aspect ratio than the Atlas, the Nomad is still considered a high aspect wing at around 9 AR.  Larger sizes in the Nomad range would be ideal for the intermediate winger looking to advance to the next step in their progression (ie jibes and tacks).

The G-10 tails can be mixed and matched as well, for example…if you are looking for more glide in your Nomad front wing, try the Atlas tail.  The shims are included that allow for consistent tuning by adding the number on the front wing and mast.

The alloy fuse is offered in two sizes, the shorter 56cm is great for surf/wake foiling, or loosening up a big front wing.  The longer 63cm fuse is ultra pitch stable and easier to ride.  The 63cm fuse has become our standard issue, go-to length for winging here in the Gorge.

KT ATLAS SERIES OVERVIEW

KT Atlas Series High Aspect Front Wings 2025

Unmatched efficiency, glide, acceleration and manoeuvrability for experienced riders.The Atlas series is crafted for intermediate to advanced riders seeking exceptional glide, acceleration, and a broad speed range without compromising turning ability. Designed to optimise lift over a reduced surface area, the Atlas features a unique rear-loaded camber profile and low sweep, allowing it to operate efficiently even at surprisingly low speeds. Tuned for early lift, effortless pumping, speed generation, and high resistance to stalling or “dropping out,” it delivers consistent performance across a wide range of conditions. Inflected wingtips make breaching turns and ventilation virtually unnoticeable, making the Atlas ideal for any progressing wing, surf, or downwind foiler. Despite its high aspect shape, the Atlas offers responsive manoeuvrability, carving, and glide, giving riders the freedom to master advanced manoeuvres, tacks, and enjoy a smooth ride at any speed

OUR TAKE

The Atlas range is the highest aspect in the line-up at around 11 AR, sizing from 570 to 1340.  Kane’s personal every day foil!  With more focus on pump & glide, the Atlas is an excellent choice for winging and downwind SUP Foiling.

Lots of camber in this design may be a game of compromises, but Kane has figured out a way to lower the stall speed and ride a smaller area reducing the wetted surface…this translates to better top end and an overall wide speed range.

Most people are riding these at 10-20% smaller than a standard HA front wing.  With a huge focus on the connection points, the design team has put loads of time into making this system stiff and future proof.  The 15.5mm thickness/125mm cord on the mast offers a low drag profile, yet keeps the system stiff without breaking the bank.

Zero mast taper offers a consistent feel, and a beefy connection to the shortened base plate maximizes the space in the track box.  A base plate shim can be used and is provided with each foil kit, as is the complete hardware kit with tail shims.

All hardware is coated with e-glass to prevent the corrosion/electrolysis between the carbon and aluminum.  Tail shims are chosen based off of the addition of the mast number and front wing number (the resulting number shim is used).  This system allows for very consistent tuning across the KT Foil line-up (no more guessing!).

Tails can be mixed and matched as well, so if riding the Atlas in the surf or winging it in choppy water, you may consider trying the Nomad tail.  The alloy fuse is offered in two sizes, the shorter 56cm is great for surf/wake foiling, or loosening up a big front wing.  The longer 63cm fuse is ultra pitch stable and easier to ride.  The 63cm fuse has become our standard issue, go-to length for winging and DW SUP foiling here in the Gorge.
