The Pivot is an incredible all-around kite with great performance no matter the conditions. If you want a kite that does everything anywhere or anytime, the Pivot is the kite for you. This kite is famous for its incredible jumping ability, wave riding performance, responsiveness, and tight, pivoting turns. The Pivot has a wide wind range and predictable power generation for easy riding and consistent boosts.
The Pivot is the perfect fit for anyone who wants to do-it-all with one kite. For 2024, Naish has made performance changes that benefit the every day kiteboarder and pro riders alike. The new draft is optimized for performance based on kite size, providing more control and increased wind range. Aspect ratios have been fine tuned for a more comfortable all-around user experience.
The Quad-Tex ripstop material is durable, delivering a lighter and more responsive kite. For additional reinforcement, Naish added Dacron on the wingtips with a double ripstop design on the trailing edge. For those in search of an extra boost of adrenaline, the Pivot is the perfect kite.
Without sacrificing durability or flying characteristics, the construction, trailing edge, overall reinforcements, and canopy of all sizes have been redesigned for an even lighter and more responsive kite.
Easy-handling, well-rounded and incredibly versatile, it’s clear to see how the Pivot has become the all-around choice for everyone, everywhere.
Quad-Tex Material:
Taking this sought-after C-kite to the next level, the addition of the Quad-Tex canopy makes the Pivot practically indestructible. Already engineered for solid control and handling in strong winds, the addition of Quad-Tex’s 4x-reinforced ripstop and perfectly balanced weave matrix—testing 30% stronger and stiffer than any other around heightens the stability and responsiveness of the Pivot design. The pinnacle of freestyle performance just became stronger and more accessible; time to experience the pure precision of the Pivot.
Swift Tips:
The new wingtip construction is 30% stronger than previous versions while being lighter and using less dacron.
The canopy now extends all the way to the Leading Edge, giving the kite a more streamlined look and performance benefits such as more direct turning.
Naish Pivot Depower:
The Naish Pivot is a kite that depowers by flying to the edge of the window. Compared to other kites, the Pivot’s foil profile is thinner, and its Leading Edge diameter is smaller.
These two characteristics allow the kite to fly further forward in the window, and get there fast. This gives it the ability to depower quickly.
Key Features:
- Quad-Tex Ripstop Fabric
- Swift Tips
- Progressive Profile
- Precision turns on a small axis with minimal power increase in a turn
- Diagonal Load Seam
- Radial Segmented Arc
- “Sheet-in-and-go” feel + easy jumping
