Crazy foiling since 2006
Kala - Front wings
The Kala is the result of two years of development by HORUE with the objective of meeting 4 fundamental criteria:
-
An unmatched glide,
-
Handling and handling with disconcerting ease,
-
A very good low range,
-
A high Vmax for the category.
The Kala is aimed at both very good riders and beginners. We wanted everyone to be able to experience the pleasure that the Kala provides once it is under our feet !
About us
The design
The Kala foil is made from 100% UHM carbon.
Horue's specially developed layup achieves the perfect balance between stiffness and flexibility while providing increased robustness.
The program
The Kala is clearly a carve and surf foil, it allows the chaining of turns and maneuvers with a very healthy behavior. The sudden speed gains are made without the need for compensation by the rider, the Kala remains perfectly balanced whatever the speed and allows the chaining of curves without difficulty.
From the first flight you will have the feeling of having perfect control over your foil, it will allow you to reach a high level of performance in a very short time.
Conception
We have opted for a high aspect ratio with very thin leading edges and a particularly set back maximum chord thickness point, this allows for very high flight speed.
We added surface area to the first two bumps, which allows us to significantly increase the low end.
"The shape of the salmon was developed to allow minimal water intake and facilitate rail to rails. The Kala is a clever mix to obtain a very fast, very maneuverable wing, and very buoyant in the low range."
- Philippe Caneri - designer of Kala.
