Superior light wind performance
Discover a whole new world of kiteboarding under 10 knots with V6 of our feather-light Open-C kite design. Dedicated to foiling and freeride kitesurfing, the OS outperforms your expectations, even in the slightest breeze.
Ease of handling
Outstanding agility with direct control and stable characteristics mean the OS V6 is easy to tame, and the steering is well-defined and precise. The power deployment is astonishingly smooth even in stronger gusts, or when looping during transitions and switching stance.
Direct feel
With direct bar feedback and reduced bar travel, fluid movements in the sky naturally translate directly to the rider with effortless efficiency and fresh new graphics will make you stand out on the water.
Constructed with advanced materials
Using advanced XT Light fabric together with superior bladder material made in Germany we have pushed the limits in engineering a kite as light as possible. A pulley-free bridle contributes to the overall weight reduction and the result is an even more advanced low-wind kite that’s sturdy yet lighter than ever before.
New for V6
Teijin X4 canopy ripstop fabric has been combined with the XT light in the struts and bladder to make the construction lighter in weight, yet durable. Additionally, new panel cuts in the canopy distribute force more efficiently, and a new 3D bridle deflector reduces bridle catch protecting the kite from inverting.
Who is it for?
The OS will allow you to take off in any breeze, making it a firm favourite amongst kitefoilers. The ease of control and stable characteristics enable the OS V5 to be accessible for all kitesurfers from beginners to more advanced addicts.

Technical Specifications
- Fast and responsive turning speed
- Pivot to wingtip turner
- Medium power drift turn
The speedy OS drifts well and responds directly to steering impulses pivoting on the spot. It generates power that is gentle and easy to handle, perfect for initiating tight turns to support your foiling or surfing manoeuvres.
- One strut mid-swept hybrid design
- 1 Strut Frame
- 5 point Bridle
- Medium AR
- Medium sweep
The OS is a one-strut mid-swept hybrid design with a medium aspect ratio. It has a 5-point bridle and a medium wingtip sweep which enhances and balances power generation.
- Balanced power generation
- Smooth lift and acceleration
- Big wind window range
- Outstanding lightwind performance
The OS covers an enormous wind range and readily travels upwind even in light wind conditions allowing you to have fun even with a slight breeze. Lift and acceleration are buttery smooth and comfortable enabling you to always stay in full control.

Technology
Eleveight kites are built with innovative and quality workmanship. Details are strategically designed for long lasting durability, while keeping the kite light and agile.
1/15
Our superior X4 canopy fabric is strong and tear-resistant to guarantee durability and lasting performance. X4 is engineered to be dynamic and developed exclusively in partnership with Teijin, the leading supplier of sailcloth materials. Made from the best 4×4 ripstop polyester yarn, X4 has less elongation and a high-temperature UV-resistant resin finish.
2/15
Our XT Light cloth has extremely high tenacity and is 15% lighter than our traditional XT material. It’s a high-performance inflatable structure material that offers the best balance between stability and stiffness. XT Light is woven to be strong and features a specialised UV-resistant coating, developed exclusively in partnership with Teijin, the leading supplier of sailcloth materials.
3/15
To ensure your kite can take a beating, every seam is glued and stitched for maximum durability.
4/15
The large diameter of our valves and strut connectors ensures fast, easy inflation and deflation of your kite without the need for a hose connector.
5/15
Each Strut has a double strut head reinforcement to create a solid inflatable kite frame. This allows for optimum turning and smoother handling.
6/15
The short pulley-free 5-point bridle setup enhances the kite’s turning speed and agility. Your bar input is direct, while the risk of catching the wingtip is reduced.
7/15
The redesigned 3D bridle deflector has structural reinforcement covering the closing seam. It decreases the possibility of bridle wrap, making water starts easier and safer.
8/15
Strategically placed Extreme Tenacity (XT) cloth reinforcements eliminate canopy wear and tear including pinholes caused by the valves.
9/15
A kite’s bladder is the core element of its inflatable structure so we use the toughest and lightest material available, made in Germany. Engineered specifically for kites, our material defines the kite’s weight and durability.
10/15
We help you rig your kite safely and avoid mixing up lines with the kook-proof front and backline connection points.
11/15
Fly the kite your way by easily switching between backline trim options with the pull-to-pull tags. Two steering line settings are available, allowing you to choose your turning speed and bar pressure.
12/15
A triple-reinforced closing seam along the leading edge makes it practically indestructible. The centre segments have stronger reinforcements as the material load is much higher compared to the smaller diameter of the wingtips.
13/15
Angled reinforcements along the trailing edge diffuse the load and strain on the canopy, making it more durable while improving kite stability and longevity.
14/15
Trim the kite according to your riding style and the wind conditions by switching between different bridle line turning settings. The pivot set-up makes the kite faster and offers more depower, while the tip set-up increases the turning radius and offers more power and grunt. All our kites have the standard middle set-up pre-selected to offer the best balance.
15/15
The load transition between the inflatable frame structure and the ripstop material is optimised for improved stability and durability. An extra layer of double ripstop sits between the inflatable structure and the X4 ripstop to protect the load.
