New generation freeride
The RS Pro is the new evolution in freeride flight. Featuring cutting-edge materials that raise the game in performance, the RS Pro offers more precision and versatility allowing you to maximise your session in any condition, no matter your style. While maintaining the much-loved DNA of the RS, the elevated Pro design is lighter and much more direct, offering a superior freeride experience.
Cutting edge materials without compromise
Our ‘Pro’ products feature the latest generation lightweight Aluula material with improved longevity, durability and performance. The combination of state-of-the-art Aluula in the leading edge, together with Teijin’s XT Light, allows a smaller leading edge diameter which in turn achieves a huge reduction in weight. The XT Light material is an optimum choice for the struts as it also allows them to twist better and turn much faster, reacting with maximum speed whether looping or responding to any freeride condition.
Maximum loop speed and massive hangtime
A standout feature of the RS Pro is its thrilling forward momentum and insane hangtime. Looping is now faster than ever, and thanks to the Aluula stiffened leading edge loop recovery is controlled with ease. You’ll swiftly travel back upwind too, no matter the gusts or how choppy the water.
Stiff with feather-light agility
The RS Pro has a feather-light three-strut frame constructed with Aluula and XT Light to deliver stability in all situations, with the bombproof ability to withstand any force. While the RS Pro is extremely lightweight and durable, it has maximum stiffness that allows for the most dynamic turns, and agility that’s second to none.
Highly efficient and ultra-direct
The exceptional new materials and aerodynamic design give the RS Pro extraordinary capabilities and a very direct feel, reacting to even the slightest steering impulse. Its stiffened structure allows for additional form stability which aids quick recovery when pushing the limits in strong wind and big air conditions. The profile of the RS Pro also offers superior low-end performance in any condition and its efficiency allows for a smaller quiver of kites to cover the whole wind range.
Who is it for?
Superior in its flight characteristics, the RS Pro features the lightest state-of-the-art construction available and is a must-have for freeriders seeking top-level performance. The stiff and ultra-direct characteristics are favoured by double loopers looking for the fastest big air action, or by those looking for versatility chasing waves, popping freestyle tricks, or maximum enjoyment cruising.

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.
1/16
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.
2/16
X6 ripstop is our new fundamental secondary material used in trailing edges to increase stability and tension. X6 is a lightweight ultra-high tenacity polyester yarn with less elongation which reduces flutter. This allows for the canopy to retain its tenacity and adds durability over time. X6 has improved the force transition between the inflatable structure and the canopy significantly.
2/15
Our ‘Pro’ products feature the latest generation lightweight Aluula material with improved longevity, durability and performance.
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.
