Looking for ride reports on either the new KT Atlas & Nomad.

Anyone?

The progression project forum has a little bit of feedback. I'm eager to hear more too.

I have a Nomad 830 for the last month. It is fairly easy to ride, fast with good glide and a low stall speed. It could be a one foil solution for many. My other foils are F one sk8 950 and 1150. The 830 is faster than the 950, turns quicker and can still compete with the 1150 at the low end. Everything feels solid. I think it is a good system and is a high performance foil.

I have the Atlas 960, 790, and 680, and I've done a downwinder on the 790 and a gutless surf session on the 960. I come from using Lift foils, where my daily driver was the 130/21 Florence, and I was also riding the 150 HAX and 180.

Yesterday, I did my first downwinder in winds blowing 20-25 knots, and I'm absolutely blown away by the 790/145. I literally can't describe how easily this foil takes off, just 3-4 strokes and you're up on foil! The flight felt incredibly predictable and easy. I was going fast with no concerns about breaching or falling. For the first time on a new foil, I felt like I had ridden it multiple times before.

In terms of speed, I think the 790 sits between the 130 and 150 HAX, faster than the 150, but maybe not quite as fast as the 130. I need to test it more to be sure. However, it turns better and safer than any foil I've ridden. You can push it hard without any worries. At my weight (80 kg), I think the 790 will be my go-to foil in winds up to 20 knots, and for anything above 20 knots, I'll switch to the 680.

I've also ridden the 960 with the 155 Nomad tail during a gutless surf session, and it performed fantastically. It has the same incredible characteristics as the 790: the take-off, turning, and pumping are phenomenal. I also tried the 960 with the small fuselage, and I really liked it, it makes the foil feel more lively. Next time, I plan to test it on a downwinder.

I believe these foils are a total game changer. They make the experience of foiling, specially downwind foiling, so much easier and allow you to push your limits with confidence. KD is a wizard!

I have the 790 Atlas with the 145 Atlas and 155 Nomad tail. The 790 is an amazing wing with a lot of lift for its size but it is also very fast for downwinding.

It is my go to wing for all conditions.
