Eleveight WS Design Vision
"The WS is your ticket to the green room where riding waves has never been more accessible and fun. Its outstanding performance allows you to catch any wave with ease and automatically switches to auto-pilot just as soon as you drop in. Version 5 of our dedicated surf kite turns tighter without the need for force as the shorter bridle trim gives a reduced bar pressure feel. The Open-C hybrid three strut design provides power right when you need it and the new canopy load seam supports the profile to ensure stability. A reduction in weight this year also helps to ensure that when riding the face of a wave you’ll drift unobtrusively down the line." -Eleveight

Eleveight WS Technology
-
Teijin Techno Force - X4 Ripstop Canopy / XT Tenacity Cloth
The superior X4 Ripstop canopy is strong and tear resistant. The XT Extreme High Tenacity Cloth is a high-performance inflatable structure material. Both materials are made by Teijin Techno Force™ in Japan and guarantee lasting performance and enhanced durability.
-
Double Bond Canopy
To ensure your kite can take a beating, every seam is glued and stitched for maximum durability.
- Quick Flow
The large diameter of the valve and strut connectors ensures easy and fast inflation and deflation of your kite.
- Strut Force Distribution
Double strut head reinforcement for a solid and robust kite frame.
- Short Bridle
The short bridle setup with only one wingtip pulley enhances the kite’s agility and the direct bar feeling while reducing the risk of catching the wingtip.
- 3D Bridle Deflector
Redesigned 3D bridle deflector with structural reinforcement covering the closing seam, decreasing the possibility of bridle wraps.
- Canopy Guards
Strategically placed Extreme Tenacity canopy reinforcements to eliminate canopy wear and tear including pinholes caused by the valves.
- German Made PU Bladder Material
The lightest and most durable bladder material on the market. Quality made in Germany.
- Safe Connect
Our kook proof front- and backline connection points eliminate any mistake when rigging the kite.
- Easy Trim
Trim the kite’s flying behavior to suit your needs. Simply switch between backline trim options with the pull-to-pull tags.
- Load Dynamic Super Seam
A triple reinforced closing seam along the leading edge makes it practically indestructible. The center segments have a stronger reinforcement as the material load is much higher, compared to the wingtips with their smaller diameter.
- Ultra-Light Load Diffuser
The trailing edge diffuses the load and strain on the canopy while reducing flutter, highly increasing stability as well as longevity.
- Turning Trim Setting
Trim the kite according to your riding style and wind conditions by switching between different bridle line turning settings.
-
2 Step Force Transition
Optimize load transition between the inflatable frame structure and the ripstop material for improved stability and durability.
