Naish Pivot 2024

"The Pivot is the perfect fit for anyone who wants to do-it-all with
one kite. This year, we have 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.
Utilizing Quad-Tex ripstop canopy material, we’ve been able to
design a new Dacron construction on the wingtips to give
improved responsiveness with less weight. After almost a decade
of development, the Pivot continues to be at the top of the food
chain.

NEW - Lightweight Wingtips
New construction uses 50% less Dacron, giving improved
responsiveness and decreasing weight

NEW - Optimized Aspect Ratios & Draft
Provide a more comfortable all-around user experience

Bridle Adjustment Setting
Allows you to adjust flying characteristics based on wind speed or
rider preference

Quad-Tex Ripstop Fabric
The Quad-Tex Ripstop fabric is an extremely durable material,
creating a strong and stiff canopy season after season.

2-Ply Trailing Edge
Buffers and disperses canopy flutter to reduce wear on the kite
and enhance durability

HT Plus Seam
Our high-tenacity thread strengthens the leading edge along the
seam, allowing you to confidently inflate your kite to a higher
pressure for better flying performance

Molded Strut Ends
Provide additional reinforcements to protect the struts from
natural wear and tear

EVA Bumpers
Protect the canopy from wear and tear during inflation,
launching, and landing

Aramid Patches
Provide protection and reinforcement to the seams on the leading
edge

SureLock Valve
Streamlined valve and lock-in pump hose connection

One Point Inflation System
Provides quick and easy inflation and deflation of the kite.
All new molded hose clamp covers reduce wear on canopy

Diagonal Load Seam
Distributes kite tension for a more efficient and well-balanced kite
and retains canopy tension over time

Progressive Profile
Evolving the profile along the wingspan allows the center sections
of the kite to generate power while the flatter tips minimize drag
and allow for faster turning

Radial Segmented Arc
Short linear segments accurately and smoothly form the kite’s
arch ""For 2024, our main goal was to improve the performance
and control of our beloved Pivot, while not losing what makes it
such a great all around kite. To achieve this, we broke down the
range size by size, and analysed what makes each size special,
and honed in on that. In doing so, now each kite has optimised
designs, bringing the perfect balance throughout the range. The
main gains were made in the overall control and flying speed of
the Pivot, meaning the 2024 Pivot is a huge step forwards and
our best yet. No matter who you are, the 2024 Pivot makes you a
better kiteboarder from day one."" - Ewan Jaspan, Kite Designer "
