The outline of KILLER has been “tweaked” with leech scallops which have been added to minimise any leech flutter when sailing overpowered. A leech cut-away introdu- ced just below batten four increases the reflex at this batten, resulting in a softer transition of power when sheeting in and better control in rough water.

KA SAIL KULT 2018 Our mission when first designing ULTIMATE BUMP AND JUMP WEAPON the KULT was to create the ultimate bump and jump weapon that excels Designing the ultimate bump and jump when playing around on flat water weapon was our brief and that is exactly and in small waves ... delivering you what we have delivered ... an all-terrain guru! AN ALL-TERRAIN GURU ... LIGHTER FEELING, BETTER CONTROL KULT sail sizes 6.4 and 7.0 have been designed in a 6 batten set-up while the smaller KULTs have 5 battens. The extra batten in the larger sizes helps to improve the stability in the sail’s profile and the use of lighter materials in the head reduces swing weight, providing a lighter feeling when sailing and better control over the entire rig. OUTSTANDING ALL-TERRAIN FREERIDE PERFORMANCE We have incorporated our riders’ input to take this sail to an even higher level! Small improvements have been made to this outstanding all-terrain Freeride sail to increase performance, control and ease of handling... For 2018, only the 2 larger 6-batten sizes, 6.4 and 7.0, were enhan- ced; sizes 5.8 and down have remained 10 the same as in 2017.

LIGHTER FEELING, BETTER CONTROL An important feature is the use of lighter materials to reduce swing weight giving the sail a softer feeling and better handling and control, most noticeably when sailing in rough conditions. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT All learnings from the continuous R&D program for the KONCEPT sail line have been incorporated in the KOYOTE designs.

CARBON BOOM DETAILS We have received many positive reactions about the considerable improvements to our Carbon boom shapes, notably in the back-end section of these booms, which we implemen- ted already in 2017. For 2018, we will continue the use of a wider end piece to ensure that the boom allows the sail to breathe and fill out perfectly on the water, just as the designers meant it! Performance with passion!
