DESIGN
VISION
The PS is gentle and stable while being incredibly responsive for amazing progression potential. Version 7 is agile and crash-resistant making it the perfect choice for carefree riding.
Its light weight allows the PS to soar fast while keeping it entirely controllable. The shape of the wingtips has been designed for beginners with precise flying characteristics and a more direct feeling on the bar. The PS will stand rock-solid in the sky patiently waiting for steering impulses.
The trailing edge features smart load diffusers for longevity, and the X4 Ripstop cloth also increases durability by counteracting canopy stretch.
The incredible relaunch characteristics are genuinely ‘automatic’ and the countless safety features offer worry-free riding. The endless power delivery will spark addiction for any new kitesurfer and take them from zero to hero.
The PS is the perfect package for any rider looking for a steep rise in progression.
TECHNICAL
DETAILS
- Medium turning speed
- Constant and smooth pulling turn
- Wingtip to pivot turner
Steering the PS is the most natural thing as the turning characteristics are so precise. The medium turning speed smoothly generates power that is followed by a consistent pull. The tight turning radius enhances these characteristics.
- Medium to low AR
- High flight stability
- Constant power
A medium to low aspect ratio allows you to sheet-in for grunty power that instantly gets you going. The PS is exceptionally stable and forgiving and to ease the power simply push the bar away.
- High sweep
- Automatic relaunch
- Predictable handling
The PS’ wingtips have a high sweep to provide an exceptional overall handling experience of the kite. Especially after a crash, the design initiates a hassle-free automatic relaunch.
Eleveight kites are built with innovative and quality workmanship. Details are strategically designed for long lasting durability, while keeping the kite light and agile.
Our superior X4 canopy fabric is strong and tear-resistant to guarantee durability and lasting performance. X4 is engineered to be dynamic and developed exclusively in partnership with Teijin, the leading supplier of sailcloth materials. Made from the best 4×4 ripstop polyester yarn, X4 has less elongation and a high-temperature UV-resistant resin finish.
To ensure your kite can take a beating, every seam is glued and stitched for maximum durability.
The large diameter of our valves and strut connectors ensures fast, easy inflation and deflation of your kite without the need for a hose connector.
Each Strut has a double strut head reinforcement to create a solid inflatable kite frame. This allows for optimum turning and smoother handling.
The short 5 point bridle setup without wingtip pulley enhances the kite’s agility and gives a direct bar feeling while reducing the risk of catching the wingtip
The redesigned 3D bridle deflector has structural reinforcement covering the closing seam. It decreases the possibility of bridle wrap, making water starts easier and safer.
Strategically placed Extreme Tenacity (XT) cloth reinforcements eliminate canopy wear and tear including pinholes caused by the valves.
A kite’s bladder is the core element of its inflatable structure so we use the toughest and lightest material available, made in Germany. Engineered specifically for kites, our material defines the kite’s weight and durability.
We help you rig your kite safely and avoid mixing up lines with the kook-proof front and backline connection points.
Fly the kite your way by easily switching between backline trim options with the pull-to-pull tags. Two steering line settings are available, allowing you to choose your turning speed and bar pressure.
A triple-reinforced closing seam along the leading edge makes it practically indestructible. The centre segments have stronger reinforcements as the material load is much higher compared to the smaller diameter of the wingtips.
Angled reinforcements along the trailing edge diffuse the load and strain on the canopy, making it more durable while improving kite stability and longevity.
The load transition between the inflatable frame structure and the ripstop material is optimised for improved stability and durability. An extra layer of double ripstop sits between the inflatable structure and the X4 ripstop to protect the load.
Our XT cloth has extremely high tenacity and is used in our inflatable structures to allow them to twist while balancing stability and stiffness. XT ensures high performance and is developed exclusively in partnership with Teijin, the leading supplier of sailcloth materials. It features a highly specialised UV-resistant coating and is woven to produce a structure that guarantees strength.
