Advanced freestyle action

Designed for hardcore freestyle, the FS V8 delivers power and precision. Boasting explosive radical performance, the FS V8 gives you the lift, slack, and stability needed to perform at the highest level.

Refined open-C 5 strut design

Tailored to the needs of professional riders, the FS’ open-C 5 strut design has all the traits of a genuine C-kite for advanced action. Designed for unmatched control and explosive pop, the FS V8 balances direct feedback with rock-solid stability.

Optimum bar feedback

The FS has a wide angle of attack and comes into play when looping the kite or popping out of the water. Pulley-free bridles achieve smooth yet direct bar feedback putting the rider in control.

Explosive lift

The FS V8’s explosive controlled lift has rock-solid stability. Optimised canopy panels distribute force, making loops smoother and effortless. Now even lighter, featuring XT light in larger sizes, V8 is more agile, responsive, and ready to send it!

New for V8

The FS V8 gets a fresh new look with bold graphics, a redesigned backpack for easier transport, and an upgraded push-lock valve for effortless inflation and deflation. Every detail is refined for maximum performance and convenience, so you can focus on pushing your limits.

Who is it for?

The medium to low wingtip sweep of the FS enhances the radical power of the kite. Thanks to the open-C shape the FS has vertical lift, and the 5-strut high aspect ratio allows it to travel upwind readily. The 5-point bridle provides the optimum bar feedback to give continuous direct control.
