Versatile wave performance

The WS V9 brings agile performance to wave addicts and freeriders alike. Its Open-C hybrid design delivers power on demand, whether dropping into waves or nailing your next move. Expect natural drift, gust absorption, and smooth, snappy turns.

Crossover performance

Enjoy boundless riding possibilities with the WS’ superfast turns and ease of handling. Catch waves with ease, foil, or enjoy a chilled freeride session, the WS automatically switches to auto-pilot with light initiation.

Amazing drift capabilities

Nimble yet stable, the WS features specialised XT light fabric in the inflatable structures which adds to its light weight and drift capabilities. Even at the low end, the WS is forgiving and easy to fly.

Agile with superfast turning

Exceptionally swift pivotal characteristics of the WS deliver fast and precise turns. Enjoy light bar pressure with intuitive control for smooth-flowing carves across a huge wind range.

New for V9

The WS V9 features Teijin’s X6 ripstop material for lighter, stronger wingtips and trailing edge. Quicker turns and better forward momentum also come from a reduced leading-edge tip diameter and refined span. V9 features a new Push Lock valve for faster inflation & deflation, and the upgraded kite bag keeps it safe and accessible.

Who is it for?

Robust and stall-free, wave riders love its drift and agility, while freeriders will enjoy plug-and-play fun. The WS V9 delivers carefree performance across all styles.

Technical Specifications

  • Extreme fast turn
  • Pivot turner
  • Direct drift turn

The WS turns extremely fast, pivoting on a dime and immediately reacting to steering impulses. The direct drift turn makes the WS an excellent choice for riding waves.

  • Open-C Hybrid Design
  • 3 Strut Frame
  • 5 point Bridle
  • Medium AR
  • Medium to low sweep

The 3-strut WS has an Open-C Hybrid design with a medium aspect ratio ideal for waves, freeriding and foiling. The outstanding bar feedback, light bar pressure, and responsiveness of the WS are due to the kite’s medium-to-low swept wingtips and 5-point bridle. You can fly complex manoeuvres without ever looking up.

  • Good power control
  • Direct handling
  • Stable downwind drift
  • Gust absorber

The WS has direct handling with outstanding bar feedback, light bar pressure, and is incredibly reactive. It absorbs gusts easily and gives a perfectly balanced amount of power with excellent downwind drift. As soon as you catch a wave, the kite switches to autopilot.

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.

3/16

Our XT cloth has extremely high tenacity and is used in our inflatable structures to allow them to twist while balancing stability and stiffness. XT ensures high performance and is developed exclusively in partnership with Teijin, the leading supplier of sailcloth materials. It features a highly specialised UV-resistant coating and is woven to produce a structure that guarantees strength.

4/16

To ensure your kite can take a beating, every seam is glued and stitched for maximum durability.

5/16

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.

6/16

Each Strut has a double strut head reinforcement to create a solid inflatable kite frame. This allows for optimum turning and smoother handling.

7/16

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.

8/16

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.

9/16

Strategically placed Extreme Tenacity (XT) cloth reinforcements eliminate canopy wear and tear including pinholes caused by the valves.

10/16

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.

11/16

We help you rig your kite safely and avoid mixing up lines with the kook-proof front and backline connection points.

12/16

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.

13/16

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.

14/16

Angled reinforcements along the trailing edge diffuse the load and strain on the canopy, making it more durable while improving kite stability and longevity.

15/16

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.

16/16

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.
