KT Instinct Complete Foil Kit
 
Speed.
Speed is intentionally secondary to control on Instinct. Acceleration is smooth and manageable, with a comfortable cruising pace that allows riders to focus on balance, stance, and wing handling rather than managing everything else.
 
Efficiency is tuned for early lift and low speed flight rather than purely glide. The large area and section design reduce the effort required to get on foil and stay flying while learning.
 
Speed Ranges:
720 cm²: 9 – 31 mph
920 cm²: 8 – 28.5 mph
1120 cm²: 7.5 – 27 mph
1300 cm²: 7 – 25.5 mph
1450 cm²: 6.5 – 25 mph
 
Feeling.
Instinct feels extremely intuitive, stable and confidence inspiring. Lift comes on smoothly, pitch remains predictable, and stall resistance is unbelievable. The foil stays flying even when tips breach the surface, helping riders recover instead of stalling or dropping suddenly.
 
Due to lower aspect design, the Instinct remains fun to turn. It rolls smoothly rail to rail and does not feel locked in, making it enjoyable for Foil Assist sessions, towing, and early carving practice. The balance between stability and playfulness helps riders progress faster while still having fun.

Refined Balanced Airfoil

Intuitive Pitch Stability
Long chord length and large tails provide steady handling.
 
Agility.
Agility is moderate by design. Turns are smooth and controlled rather than fast or reactive, helping new riders stay balanced and avoid overcorrection. The lower aspect shape keeps the foil engaging without feeling unstable.
 
Construction.
Carbon Composite Construction. Built using a durable carbon composite construction, Instinct is designed to handle repeated learning sessions, impact, and wear while maintaining consistent performance. The structure supports the large wing area and reinforces stability under load.
 
Bags.
Each model comes with its own bespoke formfitting protective bag for storage and transport. Dedicated Travel Bag available.
 
You have to use a shim.
Important.
Without the use of a Shim the performance of your Foil is compromised.
