kult 2007

: freerider & wave

The 2007 Kult is an incredibly versatile sail suited to freeride and wave in a wide range of conditions. The 07 shape has been given a more even twist, giving more power and speed, and retains a fuller shape during the lulls.

Construction is a combination of clear x-ply and a solid reinforced x-ply, giving a stunning new look, built to withstand the most punishing treatment. There are also some really handy additions like the new integrated mast protector, tie-strap and the batten key is now located inside the luff pocket.

The profile has been tweaked for better control by making it fuller down low and forward, with a flatter head and reduced head batten angle.

What riders say about the Kult:

J.P.A.Bouillir , Torquay
Since my introduction to windsurfing sails over twenty years ago ive sailed on countless different brands and this has probably been one of the best seasons ive experienced for strong consistent wind. Sailing an average of 2 to 3 times a week at Torquay Victoria for the last few months has not only been fantastic it has been a great test on my KA sails the 5.8 kult has powered me up in light to moderate winds and has been impessive with its strength and versatility i have really been happy in the air and on a wave with this sail.

Kwchua, Singapore:
I collected the sails on Saturday. Its gorgeous! I must congrat you on the beautiful design and quality workmanship.Quite a few people at the club saw it and they also quite liked it.

Jonathan Ruffus, New England, USA:
I have the Kult and Kaos....from 4.2 through 7.0, and WOW is the word, they kick ass hard! And I am not just saying that to fit in as a team rider. The first time I rode them, the wind was moderate but they were so punchy, I was concerned they would over power...but NO, man, they are so stable it is FREAKY....whatever you did you did it right. You must ahve put the magic elixir in the sails. They blow away the Sailoworks and Hot sails I was on without a doubt..People are noticing them, so I think soon KA will take over the world.

Mark Stone, Australia:
What a week, good wind and waves, bodies sore and the 5.3 kult is going off, made the ezzys feel baggy and slow, these are more wing like, and the big clear window gave me heaps of confidence pushing the bottom turn, like a wide screen tv, where before l was trying to look around the front of the mast. Really good feedback on the beach. It gets better, today very light 6 to 15 knots, my 5.8 kult on my 235 fish which got 3rd in the elite wave last weekend with 90 kilo andrew lang on it in mast high waves , who won the king of the point, went straight passed every go fast board on the water, and l could wave ride too. No exaggeration, l believe l was planing down to 8 knots, and when l came in l was surrounded, to good to be true.

Kristian Sexton, Hawaii:
I have to admit that I was cursing Andrew pretty badly as I sat at the lookout over Diamond Head with Darrell. We had to get some photos of the Kult and it was blowing a solid 20-25 knots side offshore with logo to mast high sets. This would have been perfect if that damn Aussie had sent me a 4.7 or even a 5.3, but no the only sail I had was a 5.8. I rigged it very flat and hoped for the best. Everyone else was on 4.7s and 5.0s. Scott McKercher had just come in to flatten out his 5.0. Amazinly the sail worked fine and I was able to handle it without too many problems. It was not ideal, but obviously has incredible range and the people who laughed at me as I was rigging had to be impressed with the fact that not only was I not being blown off the water, but was actually sailing well and in control. Have used the sail since in a variety of conditions and am continually impressed. I am easily the first one planing with my 84 liter Goya under me and am still in complete control in the gusts and able to turn on the waves as if I were on a 5.3 or 5.0. Still able to go right at the lip and am in such control that I forget I am on such a big sail. Those damn Aussies sure seem to know how to make good sails. The construction of this years Kult also seems much stronger and better suited to handleing real surf than last years.

(Ed - We asked for this feedback, and yes, Kris is a KA man; but Kris will not talk up anything he does not like, so we take this as very high praise!)

Günter Lorch, Germany:
Today I could test Kult 7.0 with normal mast lorch 460 100% . Sail works really perfekt. Before I tested with a skinny 450 cm (no lorch), I think skinny was to soft for big sail. Sail is planing superfast with my 90kg and perfekt handling and also superligth I like it also rotation was very good with our 460 normal diametermast. My 5.8 Kult Xply I used a lot, its very strong. I think its a good material.
