Hi all, just a little feedback on my new kite.
I am not affiliated with any kite brands and have been kiting hooked in for about 12 years.
I spend about the same amount of time on a surfboard as on a twintip.
So let's get to the Pivot and how it flys after about 7 or 8 sessions.
As you all would know the Pivot is marketed for both surf and twintip, as many kites are.
It's a medium aspect kite and sure enough it sits further back in the window at all times.
On my surfboard it's everything the marketing says it is ie. fast turns that don't generate power,
good drift and again sitting back in the window just where you want it, I'm loving it.
I think bottom end is not as good as marketing but top end great.
When I get on my twinny however I am not loving it.
I would be jumping to the moon on my Core XR and can hardly get off the water with the Pivot.
It seems it will never hit the zenith when sending it because it sits back in the window.
I am trying to get dialled in with this kite but jumping is just hard work compared to others.
So as has been said many times before one kite can not do it all and anyone interested in the Pivot should get it for its surf qualities and Naish already have a kite for outright surf so wtf I don't know.
