KT Solus Front Wing

High efficiency front wing built for glide and acceleration, delivering race speed and stability in a more usable, fun, and versatile package. Fast when you want it, effortless when you need it.
The Solus was designed for fun but built to win. Created and designed by Kane de Wilde and proven in races worldwide, including the Koa Kai Championship, the foil began as an alternative to extreme high aspect race wings.
Instead of chasing maximum aspect ratio and span at the expense of control, the goal was to build a foil that goes fast, accelerates effortlessly, and stays fun and manageable in everyday conditions, open ocean runs, and variable wind or swell.
All Solus sizes share a consistent 14 aspect ratio geometry, striking a balance between glide and control while keeping spans manageable and surf friendly. Paired with a highly refined foil section, the Solus runs significantly faster and smaller than its surface area suggests without ever feeling too small or difficult to keep on foil.
Sizes: Available in 565, 650, 775, 930, 1110 square centimeters.
Colors: Available in Black with Luminous Bright Red logos.

Tuned for realworld conditions, not just the racecourse.
This design philosophy has been proven in competition. Kane won Paddle Imua, Maui to Molokai, placed second at Molokai to Oahu, and secured the overall Koa Kai Triple Crown on a Solus 775 while many competitors were riding front wings closer to 500 cm2. It’s a foil built from racewinning DNA, but tuned for riders who want speed, control, and pure enjoyment in realworld conditions.

Solus is built around efficiency, control, and adaptability. Instead of chasing ultrahigh aspect ratios or relying on bruteforce stiffness, Kane focused on extracting speed through refined geometry and section design. The result is a foil that delivers racelevel performance while staying accessible, intuitive, and genuinely enjoyable for intermediate and advanced riders.

At the heart of the design is a reflexed center section that reduces pitch tension between the front and rear wings. This lets Solus run shorter fuselages and smaller rear wings without adding tail angle, unlocking lower drag, improved stability, and a setup that adapts easily across conditions.

From there, the center section transitions into thinner, more agile tips with increased camber. This sharpens handling, boosts ventilation resistance, and allows a steeper taper without sacrificing stability. The result is clean load transfer, confident carving, and a composed feel at speed or through surface disturbance.

Solus is designed to make fast foiling more usable. It rewards efficient riding, holds speed effortlessly, and turns everyday sessions into longer, faster, more controlled runs. It’s the kind of foil that makes you want to stay out for “just one more” every time.

Feeling.

The Solus feels slippery, fast, and highly efficient without ever becoming pitchy or tracky at any speed. Acceleration and drive are immediate when pumping, and the foil stays composed as the pace builds. It rides lighter and quicker than its area suggests, with impressive pitch stability and a smooth, predictable response that encourages longer runs and higher average speeds.
