The KD Collection
The Neptune Legacy by Frankie Panno

The Board That Defines a Legend
After years of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on a kneeboard, I knew exactly what I needed in my signature ride. When KD Sports approached me to head up their kneeboard team, I didn’t just want to slap my name on an existing board – I wanted to create something that would represent everything I stand for in this sport.
My Vision, Perfected
The KD Legacy isn’t just another kneeboard – it’s my personal statement on what competitive kneeboarding should be. Drawing inspiration from the legendary twin-tipped Neptune shape that I’ve always respected, I worked closely with KD Sports to create something that would meet my exacting standards.
Every detail matters when you’re charging the biggest wakes on the planet, and that’s why I insisted on starting with KD’s ultralight Procore construction. But I didn’t stop there. While the original Neptune featured a blended layup, I pushed for full carbon fiber construction throughout the Legacy. Why? Because when you’re launching off massive wakes, you need every ounce of energy transfer possible – and carbon fiber delivers that explosive pop that separates good riders from great ones.
Built for Big Water Performance
The Legacy features KD’s unique rail and fluted tail combination that I helped develop. This design maintains clean line tension throughout even the most aggressive turns, giving you the confidence to step up to longer line lengths when you need to clear those monster wakes.
The three-stage rocker profile isn’t just about performance – it’s about predictability. When you’re committed to a massive wake, you need to know exactly how your board will respond. The Legacy delivers that confidence every single time.
Premium Details That Matter
Like all the premium boards in KD’s range, the Legacy comes equipped with their ergonomic tri-density kneepad and upgraded snatch strap system. After countless hours on the water, comfort isn’t a luxury – it’s essential for peak performance.
