KT Astro wing

Beschrijving

The KT Astro wing is engineered to deliver top-tier performance across the widest range of wing foil conditions.

From flatwater cruising and effortless transitions, swell rides and surf glides, all the way to the most radical airs and rotations – the Astro was born from and for these moments and this is where it truly thrives.

Performance and comfort, the same criteria, matter for professionals and beginners alike. As a beginner rider, the all new Astro is your all around go to. Getting you on the water for your first forays it makes progression effortless and will be with you through early transitions into seamless ones. As an intermediate rider, when you’re ready to step up to the next level and push harder, the Astro will be right there; taking you from flatwater adventures, into the swells to carve, ride and glide with joy. As an advanced rider, come time you have matured into busting out big airs, you will be right at home on the Astro. As a professional rider you will take its outstanding performance for granted, but truly appreciate the Astro’s comfort, letting you focus on execution of style and the reading of the elements.

Jason Diffin: “Some of the key components I consider when developing Performance and Comfort into our wings are:

Outline Aspect Ratio – The Astro is the result of finding a well balanced wingspan to strut length ratio for good power and good clearance of the wing tips from the water.

Overall Stiffness – The inflated LE sectional diameters have been tweaked and tuned to find the perfect diameter to support canopy and provide the required stiffness to support the wing frame.

Profile Depth and Placement – A radial load line layout provides an enhanced dynamic feel and stability.

Dynamic Twist – Frame stiffness and seam shaping combine to keep the canopy draft locked in the right place to create the proper twist and release on the trailing edge of the wing.”
