Carefree progression
The PS is gentle and stable for rapid fun progression. The three-strut hybrid design delivers incredible upwind performance with a huge wind range. The short one-pulley bridle setup enhances the kite’s agility and gives a direct bar feeling. It is extremely responsive and ultra-stable with forgiving flying characteristics.
Automatic relaunch
The incredible relaunch characteristics are genuinely ‘automatic’ for worry-free riding. Once out of the water, its light weight allows the PS to soar fast while keeping it entirely controllable.
Innovative safety features
The PS V8 has countless safety features and will stand rock-solid in the sky patiently waiting for steering impulses. The PS is crash-resistant with minimal risk of catching the wingtip and 3D bridle deflectors also protect from inversion.
Reinforced extra durable design
Packed with design features for ultra durability, the PS is reinforced to protect your ride while progressing. The trailing edge features smart load diffusers for longevity, and the X4 Ripstop cloth increases durability by counteracting canopy stretch. The panel cuts in the canopy distribute force more efficiently with special canopy guards protecting from abrasion.
New for V8
Version eight features new panel cuts in the canopy which distribute the force more efficiently adding to the safety and durability of the PS. ‘Development never stops’ and a new feature for V8 is the addition of 3D bridle deflectors which reduce bridle catch protecting the kite from inverting.
Who is it for?
The PS is the perfect package for riders looking for a steep rise in progression. The shape of the wingtips are designed for beginners to give precise flying characteristics and a more direct feeling on the bar, and the endless power delivery will spark addiction for any new kitesurfer. It’s the perfect choice to maximise progression potential and take anyone from zero to hero!
