What KT has to say:

The Halo hits that magic 8 aspect ratio as a fast, surf- and freestyleoriented frontwing series built for predictable, instant rebound after landings or tip breaches. It stays stable and confidenceinspiring at speed while offering smooth, reliable lowend and stall behavior. Compared to the Nomad, the Halo sits at the opposite end of the surf, freestyle, tow, and downwind spectrum. It gives up a bit of lowend lift in exchange for significantly more topend speed, reduced drag, and a looser, more surfinspired feel through turns, whitewash, and freestyle maneuvers. Sizing runs roughly 15% larger than the Nomad for a similar lowend comparison. This lets the Halo use a thinner, faster section to unlock speed and glide while keeping the span compact for stiffness, aggressive turning, and dependable control at high speeds and in turbulent water.

Features:

• Geometry - The Halo uses a thinner, performance-oriented section with moderate camber, tuned for speed, efficiency, and clean release. The aspect ratio is optimized to keep the span compact while still allowing the foil to carry speed effortlessly through turns and shed air instantly after jumping, sliding, or breaching. Refined tip geometry minimizes ventilation and keeps the foil connected when carving hard or breaking the surface.
• Performance - The Halo is designed to reward an active riding style. It accelerates quickly, stays incredibly stable at speed, and remains predictable when driven into steeper sections or freestyle maneuvers. Big boosts and tip breaches recover cleanly, letting riders stay fully committed through turns, jumps, and turbulent sections without the foil ever feeling unsettled.
• Efficiency - Halo favors speed and glide over pure lowspeed lift. The reduced drag from its thinner section helps it hold momentum effortlessly between sections and through turns. This efficiency becomes even more noticeable at higher speeds, where Halo feels smoother, cleaner, and far less draggy than higherliftoriented surf foils.

Feeling:

Halo feels fast and stable right away, with a lively, responsive character that rewards committed riding. Much like your favorite quad-fin surfboard, it carries a slightly aggressive performance edge by design, yet still flows smoothly and effortlessly through turns. Touchdowns stay controlled, and the foil snaps back into flight with rapid, predictable ventilation recovery, keeping your rhythm intact and your confidence high.

Speed:

Halo accelerates really fast, effortlessly and holds speed with almost no rider input. It carries pace smoothly through turns and between sections, with a noticeably higher top end than comparable Nomad sizes. Stability at speed is central to its design, letting riders push harder without the foil ever feeling nervous or unpredictable.

Shape & Outline:

The Halo uses a compact, surf inspired outline with a moderate span and refined tips to balance speed, control, and maneuverability. Its skatey, 8 aspect ratio planform keeps the foil feeling loose and free through turns while maintaining impressive stability at higher speeds. Reduced span across the range boosts stiffness and improves handling in turbulent or aerated water, helping the foil stay clean, predictable, and responsive when pushed hard.

Agility:

The Halo is our most maneuverable design yet, reacting instantly to rider input. It rolls from rail to rail like a snowboard and stays lively through tight arcs, whitewater, and freestyle moves. The new thinner section, subtle camber, and performancedriven aspect ratio let the foil redirect without hesitation, making it easy to adjust lines, handle extreme speed, or recover cleanly after landings.

Construction:

Carbon Performance Construction tuned for speed, glide, and powerful rebound, delivering a fast, lively, and responsive feel under your feet. Halo is built with blend of select carbon fibers, tuned for maximum stiffness, aggressive landings, and longterm durability. The layup prioritizes torsional rigidity for precise control while keeping overall weight low. The result is a wing that feels lively under load, responds instantly to input, and holds its shape at speed.
