High Modulus Carbon
Downwind, Race, Speed Wing, Efficiency Cruising, Dock, Long Distance Pump.
A highaspect, hyperefficient High Modulus Carbon tail built to maximize glide, stability, and topend speed. It’s tuned for downwind, race, dock starts and effortless energyriding scenarios.
The Pulse Tail is KT’s highestefficiency stabilizer, built for riders who prioritize glide, speed, and sustained efficiency over tight turning response. It’s engineered to pull maximum glide and topend out of any front wing, making it the ideal choice for conditions where conserving energy and holding speed matter most. Compared to surforiented tails like Atom, Pulse runs at lower angles for the same lift and delivers noticeably more glide and topend speed. Its highaspect outline minimizes induced drag, helping the foil hold momentum through lulls, flat sections, and long gaps between bumps. Pulse is the tail you choose when efficiency is the goal. It excels in downwind and race conditions, and it’s equally effective for dockstarts and flatwater pumping when you’re chasing maximum distance per pump rather than maneuverability.
Sizes: Available in 95, 115, 135 squarecentimeters.
Colors: Available in Black with Luminous Bright Red logos.

95 cm². High agility handling with quick, edge-to-edge response defines the 95 Pulse, giving riders the ability to carve, link bumps, and change direction with precision and speed. It excels in rapid transitions, delivering noticeably higher maneuverability and explosive acceleration, and pairs naturally with smaller boards and front wings up to the Solus 930. Common frontwing pairings include:
• Solus 565 up to 930 for dedicated race configurations downwind
• Smaller Atlas sizes in glideoptimized setups
• Dockstart setups, where quick acceleration and minimal drag are essential for longdistance pumping, the Pulse 95 pairs extremely well with the Atlas 1340
115 cm². Kane’s go-to all-arounder is the core Pulse size and the most widely used option. It strikes a clean balance of glide, pitch stability, and overall efficiency across a huge range of front wings and rider weights. Whether you’re chasing long downwind lines, cruising with flow, or looking to add effortless carry to your everyday setup, this size delivers a calm, predictable, and highly efficient ride. Common frontwing pairings include:
• Solus 565 up to 1110 for downwind race and cruising setups
• Atlas mid to large sizes for longglide, downwind, and energyriding sessions
• Nomad, when prioritizing glide and efficiency over a surfstyle feel
135 cm². The most stable and glideoriented option in the Pulse family. It’s built for larger front wings, heavier riders; maintaining efficiency, ease of float, pitch control, and composure is critical. The 135 delivers a calm, planted ride with exceptional carry, making it ideal for long downwind lines, openocean energy riding, and any setup where stability directly translates to speed and efficiency. Common frontwing pairings include:
• Atlas 960 –1340 for downwind and longglide ocean conditions
• Solus larger sizes for mixed or openocean efficiency setups
• Lightwind winging and dockstart builds where stability and sustained glide are the priority
Speed
Pulse is built for speed, efficiency, and rapid acceleration. Once it’s moving, it carries speed exceptionally well, making it far easier to maintain glide through lulls, flat sections, and pumping sequences. Topend speed is noticeably higher than surforiented tails, especially when paired with faster front wings and shorter fuselages, giving the whole setup a cleaner, faster, and more effortless feel.
Description
Tuned for downwind, race, dock starts and effortless energyriding scenarios, where sustained efficiency matters most. The lightweight, stiff carbon build keeps the ride clean and predictable at speed, allowing you to cover distance with less effort while maintaining rock-solid control.
The Pulse Tail is built around minimizing drag and maximizing usable glide. Its highaspect outline cuts induced drag and keeps the foil efficient across a wide speed range, giving it that clean, frictionfree feel riders look for in longdistance and highspeed scenarios.
By running lower angles for equivalent lift, Pulse lets front wings operate more efficiently and predictably at speed. The result is easier lineholding downwind, better VMG while racing, and smoother, lowereffort connections between bumps.
It delivers a calm, predictable platform that rewards smooth technique and efficient riding. For riders focused on downwind glide, speed, distance, and performance metrics, Pulse offers a clear and measurable advantage.
Bags
A protective tail cover is included, keeping the tail safe from scratches and travel wear, so your setup stays performing at its best between sessions.
Shape & Outline
High aspect platform tuned for minimal induced drag and maximum glide. The outline prioritizes span over chord, boosting efficiency and delivering a calmer, more stable pitch feel at speed. This shape keeps the foil efficient, fast, and incredibly smooth when you’re covering distance or pushing topend performance.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Geometry
High aspect geometry tuned to run more efficiently than surf tails for equivalent lift. By generating the same support at lower angles, it delivers a cleaner, faster, and more predictable feel at speed, letting the foil stay effortlessly on line while carrying glide with less drag.
Performance
Optimized for downwind, race, and longdistance efficiency, Pulse boosts glide, raises topend speed, and adds pitch stability when you’re moving fast through open water, chop, or turbulence. It gives the foil a calm, composed feel at speed, making it easier to stay on line, hold momentum, and keep the glide flowing with less effort.
Efficiency
Maximum efficiency is the core design goal. Pulse minimizes drag and energy loss, helping riders go farther, faster, and with less effort per pump or stroke. It delivers that clean, frictionfree feel that makes long glides, fast lines, and extended runs noticeably easier and more rewarding.
Agility
Lower agility by design compared to surforiented tails. The turning feel is smooth, gradual, and floaty rather than snappy, prioritizing stability and sustained efficiency through longer arcs and higher speeds. It gives riders a calm, predictable platform that rewards flow, clean lines, and effortless glide.
Construction
High-Modulus Carbon construction keeps the tail exceptionally stiff and lightweight, giving it a precise, stable feel under load. The high stiffness maintains consistent tail angles at speed, improving predictability, stability, and overall efficiency when you’re pushing hard through chop or accelerating on long glides.
