Pretty good take.
KT Atlas and nomad are price/performance with a huge range. Since someone switching to our system has limited options, the wings need to cover a lot.
Enduro front wings have a narrower range but great performance in that range. Their UHM mast is awesome and is a big reason for the smoothness.
A good way to compare wings of different design is stall speed/span. The Atlas 680 and Enduro 900 have similar takeoff, but the Enduro has a 994mm span vs the Atlas 860mm span. This means the 900 Enduro is more comparable to something like a Code 770R, which also has a similar takeoff and span. This isn’t a perfect comparison as area definitely changes the feel but it works better than area/span.
The mast affects smoothness because of how its drag changes with immersion. A lower drag mast will have less change in drag for a given change in immersion, leading to less pitch disturbance of the foil and the feeling of riding in smoother water!
I’d recommend trying them if you can to see what fits your needs best!
I’m excited to explore what’s possible with more (and less) exotic materials and specialized design. The future is bright!
I love that riders have so many good options to choose from
