KT Foiling Atom Back Wing

Kane de Wilde’s Favourite Stabiliser — Built for Surf-Style Control.

The KT Atom Back Wing is the maneuverability-focused stabiliser in the KT lineup — built to bring surf-style control, confidence, and responsiveness to any foil setup. Designed by Kane de Wilde for riders who prioritise turning, feel, and adaptability over maximum glide or top-end speed, the Atom delivers a loose, intuitive, and instantly reactive ride that snaps into tighter turns and keeps you connected and confident from the first stroke.

UHM Carbon construction gives the Atom a sharper, more connected feel than composite tails — stiffer and lighter, allowing riders to size down without losing lift or pitch control. The result is less drag, more responsiveness, and cleaner feedback through every carve, landing, and surface touch. Pitch response stays smooth and predictable throughout, letting you push harder and ride faster across all conditions.

Specifications

Size Guide

121 cm² — Most lively and carve-focused. Sharp, reactive, instantly engaged. Built for maximum responsiveness and a short, surfy feel. Best paired with smaller to mid-size front wings when you want looseness and agility.

141 cm² — Balanced daily-driver. Smooth, lively, and composed. Keeps the surf-forward character of the Atom with added stability for choppier water, winging, or slightly heavier riders.

161 cm² — Stability-oriented. Calm, planted, and composed. Extra pitch damping smooths out speed changes, chop, and transitions while retaining the signature Atom surf-connected feel.

181 cm² — Maximum stability and low-end lift. Best suited to larger front wings, heavier riders, or conditions where confidence and composure at all speeds matter most.

Why We Recommend It

The KT Atom is the go-to back wing for riders coming from a surf or freestyle background who want their foil to feel loose, reactive, and expressive — not locked in and glide-focused. If you’re prone foiling surf, wing surfing in choppy conditions, or doing wake-style freestyle, the Atom’s instant responsiveness and surf-driven character will transform how your foil feels underfoot. Start at 141 if you’re unsure — it’s the most versatile size in the range.
