Super surfy and quick to get going on foil, the Super K will make a bomber one board quiver for a lot of people. It easily bridges the gap between longer downwind boards and dedicated sinkers for winging in bigger waves and lighter wind conditions. It's narrow 21" width (for the 6'1 80L board) handles whatever gusts are thrown at it, no problem - I did not feel wind pushing on the board as I raced upwind. The board is more stable than the Dragonfly with a more square tail, but still gets planing and onto foil really, really fast, easily a few mph of wind less than a comparable volume wide board. When the wind dropped even more, I was still able to use the open ocean swell to push it onto foil. I felt in a lot more control of the foil especially without straps and was able to turn rail to rail easily. I'd recommend choosing a Super K close to your weight in KG to maximize light wind opportunities. As a sinker for me weighing about 105KG, the board was still magical, but needed a good 14mph gust to get it going in marginal winds. For one session in 17+mph winds, I had the most fun I've ever had playing on open ocean swell, doing continuous cutbacks on 3 foot wind swell.

I chose the 80L Super K as a light wind partial sinker, since I intend to keep the 7'7 110L KT Dragonfly for light winds. Super K was paired perfectly with Onix Osprey 1250 foil, 15" Marlin tail @KDMaui and NoLimitz 85cm Mast, rounding out with great 6m Winghier wing. Seth ‪@sethcre8s‬ chose 80L as well to be just around his weight which works perfectly for light wind and racing.

The shape of the Super K is a displcement hull with tucked in (chined) rails which allows almost frictionless touchdowns and super easy take off. The drawn in tails means you can lean it way over in carves without catching or slowing down.

KT's new boards are completely refined from their previous line with even more exceptional performance and durability. https://ktsurfing.com/boards/ginxu-su... They are lighter and longer and a huge step up in performance.
