The Pivot is the perfect kite for those who want to do everything with one kite. This year we’ve made performance changes that benefit everyday kiteboarders and pro riders alike. The new design is optimized for performance based on kite size, offering more control and a wider wind range. The aspect ratios have been optimized for a more comfortable all-round experience. By using Quad-Tex Ripstop canopy material, we were able to develop a new Dacron construction on the wingtips that offers improved responsiveness at a lower weight. After nearly a decade of development, the Pivot remains at the top of the food chain.
NEW – FAST TIPS
- The new wingtip construction is 30% stronger than previous versions, but is lighter and uses less Dacron. The canopy now extends to the leading edge, giving the kite a more streamlined look and performance benefits such as more direct turning.
PROGRESSIVE PROFILE
- The development of the profile along the span allows the middle areas of the kite to generate power, while the flatter tips minimize drag and enable faster turning
DIAGONAL LOAD SEAM
- Distributes kite tension for a more powerful and balanced kite
RADIAL SEGMENTED ARCH
- Short linear segments form the bow of the kite – the kites have multiple panels to reduce sharp edges on the bow of the kite
BAG
- The included bag fits your kite and helps to transport all necessary accessories
QUAD-TEX RIPSTOP FABRIC
- Quad-Tex ripstop fabric is an extremely durable material that creates a strong and rigid canopy. Quad-Tex can withstand the harshest conditions while maintaining its high performance properties over time.
HT PLUS SEAM
- Our high-strength thread reinforces the leading edge along the seam so you can confidently inflate your kite with higher pressure for better flight performance.
MOLDED STRUT ENDS
- The molded strut ends provide additional reinforcement to protect the struts from natural wear and tear.
ARAMID PATCHES
- Provides protection and reinforcement for the front edge seams.
SURELOCK VALVE
- The streamlined valve and pump hose are locked to the valve.
LUFF STRUT
- The luff strut provides an adaptable framework for better low-end power
TRAILING EDGE FLUTTER DISPERSION
- The trailing edge is made of a 2-layer QuadTex construction with flutter-distributing triangles, which provides a tighter canopy and improved durability.
THERMOFORMED BUMPERS
- Protect your kite from wear and tear during launch and landing
BRIDLE ADJUSTMENT
- This setting allows you to fly a larger kite comfortably and in control in stronger winds or to choose a more consistent low-end power.
“OUR MAIN GOAL FOR THE 2024 WAS TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE AND CONTROL OF OUR BELOVED PIVOTS WITHOUT LOSING WHAT MAKES IT SUCH A GREAT ALL-ROUND KITE. TO ACHIEVE THIS, WE BROKE DOWN THE RANGE SIZE BY SIZE AND ANALYZED WHAT MAKES EACH SIZE SO SPECIAL AND REFINED IT. THIS WAY, EVERY KITE NOW HAS AN OPTIMIZED DESIGN THAT OFFERS THE PERFECT BALANCE ACROSS THE RANGE. THE BIGGEST PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN THE OVERALL CONTROL AND FLIGHT SPEED OF THE PIVOTS, MEANS THAT THE 2024 PIVOT IS A BIG STEP FORWARD AND OUR BEST YET. NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, THE 2024 PIVOT WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER KITEBOARDER FROM DAY ONE.”
