Eleveight 2020 Kites
FSeries
Freestyle Freeride Series
Staggering loops, radical freestyle tricks, and explosive boosts – these are the key features embedded into the DNA of our iconic FS series kite. We tailored this high-performance wing to suit the needs of advanced freestyle and big air riders while ensuring that its professional traits are accessible to pilots of all levels. Therefore we went with an Open-C design that comes with all the advantages of a true C-kite such as direct control, line slack and a wide angle-of-attack for powerful manoeuvres. We made sure that the FS shows maximised stability, a radical lift and is easy to handle in all conditions and situations. This kite is the first choice of our freestyle and big air team riders. It takes you as far as you are willing to push.
We designed the kite with low to medium swept wingtips to provide additional power, which, in combination with the high aspect ratio and ultra-responsive turning, results in those go-big-or-go-home characteristics.
Still, the FS is surprisingly comfortable to ride as it easily travels upwind, cushions gusts and also covers a huge wind range.
Only prime grade materials such as the X4 Ripstop canopy made by Techno Force™ and Teijin’s latest XT leading- and trailing edge material are used to construct the FS, which translates to unmatched durability and performance. We implemented subtle yet powerful changes that improve the kite’s performance even more. For the FSeries’ third generation, we introduce an increased angle-of-attack as well as aspect ratio, thinner struts and an innovative five-point bridle setup that improves stability and reduces kite twist. The FS is an all-star power machine that tears down your limits.

RSeries
Crossover Freeride Series
The RSeries is the one kite to tackle any spot, tame any storm and boost massive airs even in light wind. We streamlined its Delta-Hybrid design for the needs of freerides while adding performance characteristics for surfing and freestyle. The RS is our most versatile wing to date.
This kite is not only a multi-talent, but it is also extremely efficient: For most riders, a quiver of two RS kites covers the entire wind range. This is due to the medium to high aspect ratio and large angle-of-attack, which make this kite remarkably powerful. Combined with its dynamic speed, it truly stands out when going for big air. In kite loops, you will get that radical forward momentum followed by plenty of hang time.
Staying in control is a breeze, thanks to the direct feel. The kite’s performance is very accessible; it is ultra-stable and comfortable to ride even in a gusty wind or choppy water.
The swept wingtips improve the low end and enable you to ride upwind in ease. You can fully concentrate on boosting big, dropping into waves or popping out of the water for some old-school or freestyle tricks.
For the third generation, we introduce several improvements, such as our innovative five-point bridle setup and an increased angle-of-attack. We also added more sweep to the tips and new bridle deflectors.
Furthermore, we revised the trailing edge load diffusers and battens, and upgraded to the latest Teijin leading edge and strut material made off XT high tenacity cloth. This kite will get you psyched the second you hit the water.
So don’t wait, get hooked on the RS and score every time.
Performance Features
- Three Strut Delta-Hybrid design
- Most versatile high-performance freeride kite

WSeries
Wave Freeride Series
The WSeries kite is a true surf wing. It will boost your performance on these rare epic days, and help you to get the most out of those many semi-perfect days. Its dynamic yet smooth flying features make it the preferred choice of wave addicts and foil riders, as it also has incredible freeride traits.
The WS is the kite Eleveight CEO and designer Peter Stiewe rides when slicing through the faces of Portuguese slabs, dropping into South African wedges or hitting the lips of Brazilian walls. Its performance was proven when setting the world record for the biggest wave ever kitesurfed. And it only got better since then. The kite combines light bar pressure, direct pivotal turning characteristics, and a very gentle power generation. Hence you can whip it around without being ripped from your board. It is easy to transfer the kites force into your cutbacks or effortlessly carve on the wave’s face, always staying in full control.
The wing has an unmatched downwind drift. It lazily drifts along while you concentrate on surfing the wave. After each wave, you will enjoy its exceptional upwind performance, taking you back to the peak in no time.
On flat days, you will experience its amazing freeride and foiling capabilities. The WS is a low-end machine and will extend your skill potential no matter which style you ride.
The third generation is equipped with our innovative five-point bridle set-up for enhanced stability and comes with a redefined flattened arc that improves the low-end strength while optimising the power generation in tight turns. Further refinements include the increased sweep, stronger seams and an upgrade to the latest leading edge material made by renowned Teijin in Japan. The built quality is truly outstanding. Launching the WS is your ticket to the green room.
Performance Features
- Three-Strut Open-C Hybrid design
- High-performance kite for wave, freeride and foil kiting
- Rapid and direct pivot turning characteristics
- Stable downwind drift for carefree surfing

OSeries
Meet our brand new OSeries kite! A dedicated foil and freeride kite, streamlined to deliver outstanding performance even in a gentle breeze. The OS’s feather-light design redefines durable and sturdy built quality. It is incredibly robust while being ultra-responsive. The Open-C shape is so much fun to ride, the second you launch you will feel a new sensation of agility, speed, and direct control. Even though it is remarkably dynamic, the OS is easy to tame. It has a smooth power deployment, and it’s steering is very precise.
We shaped the kite with a medium aspect ratio, and medium swept wingtips. This excessively improves the low-end wind performance, allowing even heavy-set riders to take off in well below 10 knots. This kite is a game-changer for those who need to make every day on the water count.
As riding in light wind can be tricky, we paid particular attention to the wing’s relaunch capabilities. The OS comes out of the water with ease in hardly any wind. We were also able to eliminate backstall and made the kite exceptionally stable. The canopy is made with the renowned X4 Techno Force™ ripstop cloth and the latest XT high-end leading edge and struts material by Japanese manufacturer Teijin. This combination diminishes flutter and is wear and tear-resistant. We spent more than three years on the development of the OS and are incredibly proud of the result. Choose the OS and take off in any breeze.
Performance Features
- One strut mid-swept hybrid design
- High-performance wing for foiling and freeride
- Ultra-responsive and dynamic turning speed
- Medium aspect ratio optimised for light wind usage
- Medium sweep for low-end performance and backstall prevention
- Outstanding stability in all conditions
- Feather-light design paired with an extra durable construction

PSeries
Progression Freeride Series
We set out to design an ultra-stable, safe and durable kite that makes riding accessible to a wide audience. We came up with the PS, now available in its third generation. Today the kite is widely used by schools, newcomers and those seeking to speed up their progression.
The PS offers plenty of power and performance with rock-solid stability and forgiving flying characteristics. The Delta shape comes with a moderate flying speed and a huge wind range for maximised fun no matter the conditions. Not only the kite but also the price point is well-balanced without compromising the kite’s quality. To build the PS, we work with leading suppliers and manufacturers and solely use the highest quality materials such as the fantastic X2 Ripstop Canopy made by Techno Force™. Furthermore, we also implement proven and leading safety features such as the pull-in-bridle-system that diminishes the risk of line tangle.
For this year, we redefined the overall design to improve the flying characteristics and also enhanced the durability by placing new reinforcements at points of high stress, especially the leading edge and at the struts. The PS is built for heavy-duty usage and can take one crash after the other without casualties, so you don’t need to worry about your kite and can fully concentrate on your progression. As crashes come naturally to those learning and pushing, we designed the PS to relaunch automatically, even in light wind. This greatly increases the time of riding and is especially appreciated by cold water warriors.
The fine-tuned aspect ratio of the kite delivers a consistent and strong pull upwind as well as a comfortable lift. This allows the rider to easily go upwind, jump big and then enjoy plenty of hang time, perfect for old school and freeriding tricks. Going for jumps feels natural as the kite offers direct feedback and highly praised stability. Overall, the PS is a machine that pulls you upwind, takes almost any abuse and provides carefree shredding-fun. The PS gets anyone addicted!
Performance Features

- Three Strut swept hybrid design
- Low to a medium aspect ratio
- Very smooth and controllable turning speed

Eleveight 2020 – Twintip Boards
Commander
Performance Freestyle
The Commander is our flagship board emphasising our dedication and commitment to freestyle riding. Every inch of this truly innovative, ultra-durable construction is perfected to pop out of the water with ease to stomp the most technical freestyle tricks.
It utilises an A-grade Paulownia wood core in combination with a layer of Triax Carbon Composite to show outstanding performance when ridden in raging storms for big air manoeuvres, or the flat for radical freestyle moves. We spend countless hours of research and testing until we fine-tuned the flex pattern to have the ideal stiffness, providing comfort in chop and hard landings while allowing the rider to load up the board to eject out of the water with an enormous boost.
Holding the edge while riding overpowered is a breeze thanks to the thick box rails. Control also comes naturally to the Commander, thanks to the elaborate Tri-channel design. Some riders even refrain from using the included 30 mm G10 fins as the channels already offer plenty of grip. The board’s performance, though fierce, is easy to access, so popping this board is easy, even for those who are just starting with freestyle manoeuvres.
Ride the Commander and shape the future of freestyle.
Performance Features
- High-performance freestyle twin tip

The first version of the Master, crafted by renowned Austrian board designer Franz Schitzhofer, was widely successful. Stakes were high to live up to the high bar set by the previous version.

We achieved this by translating the Master’s design to an all-carbon construction. The result is stunning: the Master C+ is the very best board for riders who go for smooth freeride sessions but also push their limits in high-performance freestyle riding.
Using aerospace-grade spread tow carbon, we managed to make the Master our lightest board in the lineup, brimming with technology and superior craftsmanship.

It has a performance-oriented flex pattern that is ultra-comfortable to the knees, it is incredibly dynamic, easy to control, and the top-end speed is beyond staggering.

Process
Performance Freeride
The Process is our performance freeride board bulging with innovative technologies and smart features that make all conditions enjoyable, and enjoyable conditions incredible. Light wind? The Process starts planing with the slightest power input. Chop and hard landings? The Process cushions them, delivering the smoothest ride.
Eleveight’s chief board designer Franz Schitzhofer tailored the board to the needs of freeriders that require one board for all conditions, who want to jump big and ride for hours upon hours.

Smooth 3D channels at the tips of the board combined with box rails offer incredible grip and control without generating water drag. The board is easy to handle but also very dynamic and responsive. A harmonised rocker line for early planning allows to start riding in a light breeze, reach dashing speeds or travel upwind in ease. The Process jumps exceptional well, making it a favourite for hangtime addicts who want to go big.
We equipped the board with the strongest inserts on the market that are commonly used in snowboard construction. The top sheet is ultra-durable and UV resistant, ensuring that the board will last for years. It comes with feather-light pads and straps that transfer board feedback to the rider and enhance control. 45 mm G10 fins, the best on the market, are also included.

HCS
Performance Freeride
Control meets versatility meets speed. Two years ago, we set out to design the HCS, a foil wing that redefines hydrofoil performance while being user-friendly. The long development process was worth the effort, as the HCS exceeds our goals. It offers extraordinary stability and great lift. Starting to glide and reaching racing speed is a breeze when riding this wing.
During the take-off, the HCS remains very stable. As soon as it starts to glide, it proves to be highly dynamic and agile. It truly stands out in swift carves and pivotal turns. Effortlessly it accelerates to top-end speed that will feel breathtaking and calm at the same time, due to the unique sensation of flying above the water’s surface. Technical tricks become easy when cutting through the water with this foil.
The slightest breeze is enough to make the HCS come alive and lift you out of the water. The magic of this outstanding performance lies in the smart design of our carbon composite front wing with a medium aspect ratio that is precisely balanced with a G10 stabiliser. Both are being combined with an 85 cm aerospace-grade aluminium mast. These light but durable premium materials enhance the performance features and contribute to a dynamic yet peaceful ride. The modular construction is equipped with our innovative quick-connect technology, allowing you to switch masts easily in only a few moments.

The 60 cm mast made of aerospace-grade aluminium, with a top-mounted carbon composite front wing and G10 stabiliser offers incredible and well-balanced control. It simplifies foiling. Still, it does not compromise on performance.
