Armstrong WKT Wake Kite Tow Foilboard

I am 5’11” 200lbs and the 137cm has been awesome for getting into kite foiling. Feels pretty intuitive and the overall design of the board lends to easy progression. I will definitely be spending a lot more time with this board.

I'm 5'8" 135lbs and I find that I need a longer board when foiling to have enough room to shift my weight forward and keep the foil down. The 137cm is the perfect size for me. With a foot strap on the front my foot lands in the perfect position for kite foiling. The nose rocker makes touchdowns forgiving and the feedback through the board is great.

The WKT 109cm is an incredibly fun board for kitefoiling. An advantage of its small size is the direct connection you feel with the foil. For my riding level it’s about as small as I would want to go with a kite foil board while still maintaining a comfortable platform for foot switches. The WKT has a ton of nose rocker to help recover during touchdowns and the beveled rails also deflect from the surface of the water super nicely. For heavier riders or new foilers, the 122 or 137cm would be much better options for learning foot switches and transitions on something more forgiving.

A great all around board for both kite foiling and tow foiling. the shape is perfect and the construction is phenomenal.

This feedback comes from an experienced kiteboarder/wingfoiler looking to get into KF. This is my first dedicated KF board. Overall, I found this to be a very high quality built board. I found it desireably very stiff and reactive, providing immediate response to rider input. I spent my first week of KF in Turks with this board set up with Armstrong 72 mast, 1050 foil, 300 tail, 60 fuse and one front strap. The board easily floated sideways on the water making getting starting easy. The decreased volume was quickly overcome with a quick kite throw to a taxi or on foil position, and the front camber allowed for frequent underwater starts along with easy recovery from touch downs during transitions. This board was very stable at high speed and quickly reactive to my input for turns. The performance characteristics were exactly as specified in the design intentions. While I usually prefer strapless surfboard riding, I only used one strap centered up front and nothing additional in the rear. I found rear foot position to be easily intuitive, falling into the concavity of the board naturally with no kickpad. Maybe I’ll add one when I get more aggressive with my turns! I foresee many years increasing my technique yet likely still not pushing the limits and capabilities of this awesome board. As always, Matt’s advice was spot on and much appreciated!
