RRD Kiatta Pro Y27

Product Description

The RRD Kiatta Pro Y27 is the best all-rounder in the RRD range, designed for any conditions: it's the perfect choice for those looking for a single board for everything. This iconic shape has been a benchmark for small to medium wave surfing for years.

A low rocker ensures speed and early take-off, while the wide tail generates lift, speed, and projection. The sharp square tail, wider nose, and slightly fuller rails offer absolute control with fast and responsive turns. Despite the added width, the tail remains loose enough to adapt to any pocket, from waist-high to head-high waves.

Available in two constructions: PRO and LTE.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Who is the RRD Kiatta Pro Y27 designed for?

It's designed for riders of all levels looking for a single board for any condition: small waves, freeride, strapless. It's the ultimate all-rounder in the RRD range, ideal as a first and only board in the quiver.

What's the difference between the 5'6'' and the 5'8''?

The 5'8'' offers 3 liters more volume (28 Lt vs 25 Lt) and slightly larger dimensions, making it more suitable for heavier riders or those who prefer more stability in small waves. The 5'6'' is more agile and reactive, ideal for lighter riders or in choppier waves.

What makes the Square Tail special?

The square tail always ensures enough speed to hit the right section of the wave. The sharp corners bite into the water during turns, promoting pivot and quick change of direction, while keeping the tail loose and responsive in any situation.

What makes the PRO construction special?

The high-density molded EPS core (36 Kg/m³) with Super EPS mold is a mono-block 40% stronger than traditional CNC cores. The UD Carbon Stringer and Parabolic Carbon Rails guarantee stiffness, progressive flex, and shape memory, while the bamboo deck and PVC around the fin boxes complete a premium construction.

Is it also suitable for strapless freestyle?

Yes, the Kiatta Pro also performs well in strapless freestyle thanks to the combination of pop, grip, and maneuverability of the shape. It's not the most specific board for pure freestyle, but it's a solid choice for those who want to alternate surfing and strapless tricks with a single board.

Is the fin set included?

Yes, the Kiatta Pro Y27 comes with the K4 x RRD Thruster fin set already included in the package.

Which kite pairs best with it?

RRD recommends pairing it with the Religion, the wave kite with exceptional drift and very quick pivot turns that enhances the versatility of the Kiatta Pro in all conditions.

Why choose the PRO version over the LTE?

The PRO guarantees superior performance thanks to the UD Carbon Stringer and Parabolic Carbon Rails, which offer greater stiffness, more controlled flex, and better shape memory. The LTE is an excellent choice for those seeking the same shape qualities at a more affordable price, with an equally high-level construction.
