Trailing edge: Code-Tec-95p ripstop for the trailing edge slightly heavier than Quad-Tex, but with the added benefit that we can use a single layer instead of two layers of Quad-Tex. That reduces overall weight and makes the kite lighter and more responsive.

Leading edge: we use a stiffer Dacron through the central leading edge to maintain structural rigidity and control at higher loads and a more flexible dacron is placed towards the wingtip of the leading edge to enhance torsional flex, steering response, and overall, more dynamic kite feel.

Updated Profile Shaping: Refined shaping improves flight efficiency, lift and low-end usability while maintaining the Pivot’s well-known versatility.

01 Product information The Pivot [Q]Series has earned its place in the history books, trusted by world champs and everyday riders alike. The Pivot [Q]Series is a high-performance all-round kite designed to deliver efficient power, precise steering response, and stability across multiple disciplines. Designed for freeride, big air, wave riding and foiling, it combines a forward-flying position in the wind window with a highly balanced canopy profile for excellent control and versatility. Its intuitive turning characteristics and direct bar feedback give the rider immediate input and accurate handling, while the wide depower range helps maintain control in gusty or overpowered conditions. The Pivot [Q]Series stable frame and optimized canopy tension support consistent aerodynamic efficiency, contributing to predictable drift, smooth power delivery and reliable relaunch. With its combination of structural rigidity, efficient profile control and multi-discipline usability, the Pivot [Q]Series is designed to offer technical performance in a highly accessible package.

“All around performance and progression. In the waves and on the twintip I can perform in the most critical, high risk situations with confidence in my kite. One kite quiver!”

“The Pivot is my Big Air progression partner. It’s an all rounder that builds confidence and is easy to progress on. Smooth, reliable, and light on the bar. My tennis elbow has almost disappeared since riding it. And don’t get me wrong—this kite can fly! When you’re ready to push, the Pivot delivers serious lift and power. The control is in your hands.”

“All around boosty machine! If you don’t know what you want to do most on the water this kite is your ticket to find out!”
