Description
One kite that does it all. The Pivot’s legacy speaks for itself. Trusted by world champions and respected by those chasing the feeling only kiteboarding provides. Refined through years of feedback, podiums, and pure obsession.
NEW: Blended Leading-Edge Construction - DKC 160 is used for the majority of the LE and
provides a super rigid frame with low elongation over time to ensure your kite stays new for longer. The wingtips and struts are built from DLE 140, a lighter material which allows for the wingtips to flex and turn, giving the kite a fluid and light feel. The struts also have the ability to flex which enhances the steering feel. Overall, this build results in a lighter airframe than previously
New: SK99 bridle lines - These super high end lines from Braidtech have been utilized on the bridle system for lower stretch and a more aerodynamic flight. Not only are they better through the sky, but during water relaunch they cut through the surface tension better, enhancing your low wind water relaunch capability.
New: TPU strut bumpers – The TPU bumpers have been used on the struts to protect your kite from unwanted wear and tear. This year they are lighter than ever before and tougher, allowing us to remove Dacron from the strut head further increasing weight loss for an overall more responsive package.
New: Profiles - a new profile has been adopted into the Pivot this year for a more efficient flight. We have been sure to not lose any lift in the kite or increase back stall through thorough testing of these profiles. Overall, what you will feel is a kite that wants to move through the sky easier, while still providing great lift in jumps and low wind conditions.
Built with purpose, shaped by experience. Built for riders who want everything and won’t settle for anything less. Chase progression and pure possibility – the Pivot Q-Series is the one kite you can rely on, with versatility that’s earned its stripes across the globe.
It delivers an ultra-responsive bar feel where you always know exactly where the kite is: the feedback is instantaneous, intuitive and extremely direct. That connection gives you the confidence to push harder and let the kite become second nature – so you can focus on you.
It turns tight, drifts smooth and always stays predictable. Effortless relaunch. Direct feedback. Crisp and reactive, ride after ride. It’s always ready for anything. Big Air, barrels, foiling, freeride: this is your all-conditions enabler.
Lighter & More Responsive Airframe
Balances rigidity with flexibility for optimized performance, the Blended Leading-Edge Construction (DKC 160 & DLE 140) reduces elongation while enhancing control.
Enhanced Turning & Lighter Weight
Improves maneuverability and handling, the NEW Flex Struts (DLE140) offer a more dynamic feel.
Lower Stretch Bridles & Aerodynamic Flight
The NEW SK99 Bridle Lines delivers better control, more efficient flight through the air and better relaunch due to the lines breaking through water surface tension efficiently.
Tougher, Lighter Kite Protection
Reduces wear and overall weight, the NEW TPU Strut Bumpers reinforce durability without compromise.
Smooth, Efficient Flight
Enhances lift and low-wind performance, the NEW Profile ensures efficient movement through the sky, creating apparent wind with ease.
Locked-In Frame & Stability
Maintains structure and aerodynamic efficiency, the Profile Lock Seam keeps the draft position secure for long-term durability.
Precision Tension & Responsiveness
Optimizes handling and control, the Newly Refined Bridle ensures perfect load distribution across the kite.
Stronger & Cleaner Bridle Attachment
Enhances durability and efficiency, the Sleek Bridle Point Construction is durable and offers a sleek finish.
Unmatched Canopy Strength
Delivers superior durability and stiffness, QuadTex ensures long-lasting performance in extreme conditions.
Quicker Response & Efficient Turning
Reduces weight while improving control, the Swift Tips enhance precision in all conditions.
Adjustable Power for Any Wind Condition
Adapts depower and pull based on wind strength, the High/Low Wind Bridle Adjustment maximises control in changing conditions.
Their leading edges are made of the best, most durable and safe materials available. Teijin Dacron is strong, safe, UV stable and durable, meaning the kite will last and stay consistent over time. The canopies are made out of Teijin Quadtex, a material specifically developed with Naish to provide a rigid and responsive feel that remains consistent whether after one session or one hundred.
Quadtex is coated using a patented procedure that keeps the coating bonded and fresh after prolonged UV and wind exposure. The 4x4 yarns provide a balanced, low stretch characteristic, maintaining the kite profile exactly as designed. Quadtex is considered the highest quality canopy available on the market, and it is also offered at an accessible price point. Naish utilizes high tensile thread throughout the stitching process, made from the highest marine grade materials to ensure seams remain strong, safe and secure. Their stitching methods have been refined over many years of working with their factory, resulting in kites with some of the lowest failure rates on the market.
Their PU bladders are designed for the ideal balance of weight and durability. After testing many materials over the years, Naish selected a bladder that offers durability and lightness to help prevent leaks or failures, reducing the chance of missing sessions. Thanks to the bladder materials, stitching, valves and cap construction, Naish kites can safely handle high PSI inflation pressures, giving the kites a precise and responsive feeling.
Naish valves are made from two components. Before being mounted into the bladders, each component is paired, pressurized twice and individually numbered. Each set is tracked and approved as safe by their quality control team. Every bladder is fully inflated and tested for twenty four hours before insertion into the kite, then reinflated for another eight hours at the recommended PSI. Once all components pass quality control, each kite is photographed and numbered so it can be tracked and referenced easily. This process ensures that only kites meeting the highest quality standards reach the customer.
Safety on the water begins with reliable equipment, and Naish is proud to offer products that meet their high standards. From concept to design to the final stages of production, Naish takes great care to deliver equipment that is high quality and safe, so riders can focus on having a great time on the water.
