Koncept is our long proven sail, loved by speed surfers, slalom racers and free ride surfers. Everything about the Koncept is easy. Rigging / derigging is a breeze with the 3 camber set-up and moderate width of the luff sleeve.

Moderate luff curve makes it easy to downhaul.

KArace is designed for 100% racing. This means the skin tension and stability is higher, which achieves a little more luff curve, 8 battens and 4 cambers.

The lower aspect outline ensures power down low and heaps of acceleration. More progressive leach twist-off for top end conditions.

The Koncept sails will be standard delivered with RDM cams on the 4.2 till 5.0 sails; the 5.4 and up will be supplied with SDM cams but can be altered with the conversion set. We have had good feedback up till the 7.5 sizes with RDM cams.

Kult is the “All Terrain” sail in our range. This sail will work great if you want a more locked-in sail with good draft stability or you are a slightly heavier rider. It will perform on flat water and in smaller waves. The foot is a little lower when compared to Killer and Kaos, and it delivers a more stable ride.

The Killer and Kryptonite are new to our wave line. The Killer is a full XPly sail that delivers a slightly more forward pull compared to the Kaos. Whereas the Kryptonite is built in mostly monofilm with 2 mil Xscrim. The foot of both types of sails is also slightly higher and we minimised the weight to make it very easy through transitions. These sails are great if you want to throw your sail around for freestyle or simply just want a really balanced wave sail.

Kaos is our dedicated wave sail as it has been for many years. It is built in a rugged XPly construction and compared to the Killer, the draft is a little further back. This sail has a really easy, smooth power delivery, simply sheet in or out to turn the power on or off.

In general for all our sails, the bottom eyelet will give you a little more control, and you will be able to sail in higher wind or more demanding choppy conditions. Using the lower eyelet allows the sail to open up and breathe a little more.

Taller persons might find the top eyelet better and smaller persons like the bottom eyelet better. In the end it comes down to personal preferences.

The Killer, with its slightly more compact outline, will deliver the drive you need to accelerate the Quad boards through the turns and it has a soft enough response on the top turn to be very forgiving.

Killer or Kryptonite; both our new wave sail ranges will work great for freestyle.

We focussed on making them very balanced, so in transitions there is no negative pull to throw you out. The foot is slightly higher than compared to the Kaos, making duck manoeuvres simple. Good acceleration gets you planing and up to speed quickly.

With a forward draft in the sail, it is well balanced and drives nicely off the leach tension. It has power and “pop” when you need it and “powers off” when you need to in the transitions.

Kaos is our dedicated wave sail. Kult is designed more for Bump and Jump but can however be used in the waves. The skin tension is a little higher in the Kult, so in other words, it is a more “locked in” feeling with the power designed to be more forward in the sail compared to the Kaos. We often hear the heavier customers like the 5.8 or 6.4 Kult for the lighter wave days, but then have the Kaos for the sizes below this.
