A class of superconformal surfaces
  Superconformal surfaces in Euclidean space are the ones for which the ellipse of curvature at any point is a nondegenerate circle. They can be characterized as the surfaces for which a well-known pointwise inequality relating the intrinsic Gauss curvature with the extrinsic normal and mean curvatures, due to Wintgen (\cite{Wi}) and Guadalupe-Rodr\'iguez (\cite{GR}) for any codimension, reaches equality at all points. In this paper, we show that any pedal surface to a $2$-isotropic Euclidean surface is superconformal. Opposed to almost all known examples, superconformal surfaces in this class are not conformally equivalent to minimal surfaces. Moreover, they can be given in an explicit parametric form since $2$-isotropic surfaces admit a Weierstrass type representation.
