DESIGN
VISION
This latest version of our gentle power-beast maintains it’s stability and responsiveness by using Japan’s finest cloth, the state-of-the-art X4 Ripstop canopy made by Teijin Techno Force™. It enhances the longevity of the kite while counteracting canopy stretch, meaning the kite will stand rock-solid in the sky, patiently waiting for steering impulses.
By shaving off unnecessary weight we achieved improved agility. This makes the PS soar fast while keeping it entirely controllable. Our new trailing edge with smart load-diffusers and the decreased strut diameter also means a leap in the kite’s overall performance. The fresh bridle concept has better pulley placements, making the PS’s flight characteristics more precise with renewed direct bar feedback.
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 that 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. You want to ease the power, push the bar away. Furthermore, the PS is exceptionally stable and forgiving.
- 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.
E/8 Trusted Quality
Eleveight kites are built with innovative and quality workmanship. Details are strategically designed for long lasting durability, while keeping the kite light and agile.

2. Double Bond Canopy
To ensure your kite can take a beating, every seam is glued and stitched for maximum durability.
3. Quick Flow
The large diameter of the valve and strut connectors ensures easy and fast inflation and deflation of your kite.
4. Strut Force Distribution
Double strut head reinforcement for a solid and robust kite frame.
5. 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.
6. 3D Bridle Deflector
Redesigned 3D bridle deflector with structural reinforcement covering the closing seam, decreasing the possibility of bridle wraps.
7. Canopy Guards
Strategically placed Extreme Tenacity canopy reinforcements to eliminate canopy wear and tear including pinholes caused by the valves.

11. 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.
12. Ultra-Light Load Diffuser
Angled reinforcements along the trailing edge diffuse the load and strain on the canopy, making it more durable while improving kite stability and longevity.
13. Leading Edge Guards
Additional leading edge TPU reinforcements for further wear and tear protection
