Inbound: KT Foiling Super K2, Carbon & Pro Carbon 

KT have an enviable roster of pro team riders, which is a huge benefit when it comes to testing your equipment in a range of conditions, and getting some very qualified feedback. These two new midlength boards from KT come with multiple stamps of approval from names that will not be unfamiliar to the majority of us…

What was the core idea behind the Super K 2, and what were you trying to solve or evolve from the previous model?

The goal with the new Super K 2 was to create the most versatile high performance midlength possible. We started with the original Super K’s all discipline DNA and refined every element through team rider input and a massive range of local and custom order feedback. We pulled insights from the OG Super K, Drifter, and Dragonfly lines and blended them into one design.

While the original Super K midlength leaned more toward wingfoiling with limited size options, we wanted to expand the range from 30 to 120 liters to cover everything from prone to SUP. With the rapid rise of parawinging and foil assist systems, we saw the need for a one board quiver that could truly do it all.

Talk us through everything this board can do, and how do you make something so versatile without making compromises?

The Super K 2 handles prone, parawing, SUP, foil assist, wingfoil, downwind, and light wind conditions. Rather than specializing in one area, we focused on refining the balance point across outline, rocker, volume distribution, and rail shape. The fuller nose and subtle displacement hull help with early lift and soft touchdowns.

We worked closely with Kane de Wilde, Elliot Leboe, Kai Lenny, and Adam to dial in both hydrodynamics and aerodynamics, making the board ride smaller than its volume suggests and handle windage with ease. With clean volume distribution, optional footstraps, and 14-inch custom foil tracks, it is the ultimate travel ready do-it-all board.

This one has been optimized for assist system integration. Tell us what benefits assist fans will find with this board.

A lot of our customers were falling in love with Foil Drive and assist systems, so we made sure this board would also be built for them. The flat bottom, extended and reinforced foil tracks, and puncture resistant channels make mounting clean and reliable with long or short screws. We also added fiberglass signal windows tuned to 2.4GHz, so there is no need for connectivity foam or external antennas. It’s assist ready, right of the box!

How does the Super K2 Pro Carbon differ in feel from the regular Super K 2 Carbon?

You feel the difference the instant you pick it up – nearly 20% less weight than the Carbon construction. The Pro Carbon layup uses a high-density EPS core wrapped in biaxial and unidirectional carbon with a full sandwich construction. Lighter and stiffer means more responsive pumping, carving, and longer life even if it gets tossed on rocks or scraped in carparks. You feel the reduced swing weight and added strength with every turn.

We read that riders can size down on board volume, foil, and wing. How does the Super K 2 give riders that freedom without sacrificing stability?

This board gives you maximum efficiency per liter. The fuller nose, recessed deck, and our new tri-plane displacement bottom create a stable platform that has allowed us to completely change the dimensions of the entire lineup compared to the Super K 1. With the added aero and volume distribution, foilers can actually go the other way now, and ride higher volume without it feeling bulky or slow. This lets you have a board that has way better paddle power, float and low end take off yet feels like a smaller performance board in the air. The pulled in outline helps it plane quickly, and the reduced drag means you do not need a massive foil or big wing to stay up.

As well as Kai you also had help from Otis Buckingham and Ryan Arzy. How did their feedback shape the final product? Any standout moments during testing?

Each rider pushed the board from a different perspective. Kai tested it for freestyle in heavier surf and strong wind chop, dialing in nose volume and touchdown recovery. Kane helped refine rocker and volume distribution for early lift. Otis focused on how the midlengths handled high speed wing racing touchdown, turns, and freestyle. Ryan brought critical feedback on assist integration and tested varying widths across parawing, prone, and wing.

Seeing this board become all of our teams riders’ go-to board, along with our most popular custom ordered design helped us nail the size range and target audience, so that there’s an option for everyone.

Finally, if you could drop into one perfect session on the Super K 2, what discipline, what size, and where are you riding it?

Give me the 65 liter, some summer wind and swell, and a parawing. I would start with a clean morning prone foil, then chase bumps or ride a few reef waves on the wing in the afternoon. If I am traveling, this is the one board I pack every time. It is ready for anything.
