KT Astro – Top-tier performance across the widest range of wingfoil conditions
The Astro is engineered to deliver outstanding performance in almost every wingfoil scenario. From flatwater cruising and effortless transitions, to swell rides and surf glides, all the way to radical airs and rotations – the Astro was born for these moments, and this is exactly where it thrives.
Performance and comfort are the same criteria that matter for professionals and beginners alike. As a beginner rider, the all-new Astro is your true all-around go-to: it gets you on the water easily, makes progression feel natural, and stays with you as your early transitions become seamless ones. As an intermediate rider, when you’re ready to push harder, the Astro is right there with you – taking you from flatwater adventures into the swells to carve, ride and glide with joy. As an advanced rider, once it’s time to go bigger with airs and rotations, you’ll feel instantly at home. And as a professional rider, you’ll take its performance for granted, while truly appreciating the comfort that lets you focus on execution, style and reading the elements.
Jason Diffin on developing performance & comfort
- Outline / Aspect Ratio: A well-balanced wingspan-to-strut-length ratio for strong power and excellent tip clearance
- Overall stiffness: Tuned LE sectional diameters support the canopy and provide the required frame stiffness
- Profile depth & placement: A radial load line layout enhances dynamic feel and stability
- Dynamic twist: Frame stiffness and seam shaping lock the draft in the right place, creating the proper twist and trailing edge release
Seamless boom wing: clean ergonomics and direct control
The Astro comes with the boom, delivering a clean, precise grip feel and a highly connected ride. Clear hand positioning, direct input and reduced fatigue are key advantages – especially when riding powered, pushing upwind angles or committing to manoeuvres.
Colors
The KT Astro is available in three colors: Yellow, Orange and Olive.
