Currently riding a KT Super K 92lt 6't5" board which I absolutely love, it has taken me so far in my progress over the past year. Im still an intermediate, but carving gybes 90% & learning to tack.
Just received my brand new KT 85cm mast, Nomad 1130 & 830 with longer fuse & tails to match. So stoked. Cold here in Canada now but might go out anyway to try them.
Question is mast position on this board.
Currently ride with mast near the middle of the track, but would like to know recommended position. In addition, does this mean front of mast base plate on a certain number on track or leading edge of mast estimated at certain position in the track?
Or, do I just lift the board up assembled with my foil so it lifts up flat with my hand under front foil?
Many thanks, so stoked to use my new Nomad set up

Response: Hey Jeff,
Really happy to hear you are enjoying your Super K and Nomads. The 1130 and 830 is a great combo that covers you on both the good days and the really light ones.
Generally with any foil you want the center of lift right under your center of mass. If you look straight down, the front wing should land right between your feet.
I usually start by looking at the deck and figuring out where I want my feet to be, usually around the strap inserts and not too far forward or back. Then I line the front wing up between my stance. Most of the time that puts my back foot either over the mast or just slightly in front of the base plate.
If you want to do the board and foil balance test, pick it up with your palm on the foil toward the rear third of the wing, near the trailing edge, right under that rear loaded camber. That section provides a lot of the lift in the Nomads and Atlas wings.
Since these foils have a lot of lift for their size and are really stall resistant, I would start a little farther back than you think and move it forward only if you need more lift.
If the foil is too far forward it will feel very pitchy, sensitive, and even draggy.
Best,
Ryan Arzy
Hi all,
I received the KT Nomad 830 stab 155 today and did my first ride 15 knts with the Nomad, it is so playful, just a blast carving with so much ease.
On the beach, people were impressed and very curious. As a result, my buddy just ordered the Nomad 830.
My buddy and I with his dragonfly and KT1 with Atlas foils are getting a lot of attention and interest with the ease to fly.
Anyway a huge thank you, amazing board and foils a true blast

I’ve had the opportunity to test most of the KT foil range, and I must say, the experience has been quite impressive. The stability of the foil system underfoot really stands out, and I appreciate how easy it is to assemble and disassemble. The connection points are particularly noteworthy; they eliminate any movement, which enhances overall performance.
The Nomad 830 is a versatile foil that performs well across a wide range of conditions, especially in 15 to 20 knots with choppy seas. However, I would recommend trying the Nomad 700 for those looking for even more responsiveness in higher wind conditions. The 700 offers exceptional speed, making it excellent for sharp turns and efficient pumping. Both the Nomad 830 and 700 boast impressive top-end speed and strong low-end performance, which has notably improved my average speeds thanks to their stability and smooth handling.
Additionally, I’ve tested the Atlas 680 and 790. These foils are quite similar to the Nomads but offer enhanced glide and pumping abilities and increased speed , along with a slightly more drawn-out turn radius. Overall, these foils provide a fantastic range of options for different riding styles and conditions.
Just got mt kt kit today shot out to the beach once I had set up my foil drive, nomad 980 wing ,85 mast,63 fuse,190 tail, found this to have plenty of lift more than my sk8 1150, pumped better as well and has way better turning ability. I reckon I'm going to try the 830 next.
I missed you when dropping off the KT Foil, thank you very much for letting me use your personal gear, the foil is absolutely amazing, enough so I ordered one through TJ at Big Winds. I hope more people can experience Kane's amazing design.
Hope you have a great day.

A few days in to riding my new KT foils and they are INCREDIBLE! I wing and downwind SUP foil in Hood River and have been riding the 960 Atlas and 1160 Nomad so far on the 77cm mast with the 170 atlas tail on the 110L Dragonfly 2. For reference I weigh 215lbs dry. We've had small but carvable waves and both wings have exceeded expectations. As soon as there's any semblance of stable wave energy the 960 Atlas lights up. It's easy to get on foil and can glide, pump and connect bumps with ease. The 1160 has been great for marginal winter conditions and can pop up on even the slightest bump while still being fun carvey and playful to ride. Can't wait for bigger days to step down to the 790 and 680 Atlas!
Just got the Nomad 830 taking a punt. Been out twice. First in 20 to 30 knots with 4m wing. At first some pitch sensitivity but soon overcame that, but the gusts meant I breached a couple of times. 2nd time was out in 0 to 12 knots with little puffs coming through and 5m wing. Moved foil towards the front of the box. In the gusts had no issues getting up and the stall speed was low, everything felt good and tacks and gybes were seemless. This might be a one foil solution. I normally ride Sk8 950 and 1150 and this got up as easily but faster and turnier. Looking forward to trying an Atlas if I can find one.
We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
