Naish Pivot 2025
Year after year, the Pivot remains steadfast within the Naish line-up, proudly our most versatile kite with amazing flying ability, top-tier quality materials and second-to-none craftsmanship. Results in competitive kiteboarding are a trademark attribute to the Pivot’s abilities as a powerful weapon across all disciplines, claiming Big Air Championships, Surf World Titles and marking itself as one of the best do-it-all kites… Its all-round capabilities benefit the everyday kiter looking for a controlled ride, and pro riders pushing the limit of what’s possible.
The 2025 Pivot bestows exciting new features, redefining its unparalleled diversity, build quality and durability. A big addition this year is the Profile Lock Seam and Load Seam, transferring steering input and holding the position of the draft in place, maintaining the longevity of frame rigidity and responsiveness of the kite.
We have reimagined the bridle system to ensure perfect tension at each point, engineered not only to be stronger and cleaner than ever before, but to increase the wind range of the kite with adjustable bridle points, intuitive edge control and high depower in the bar throw. Say hello to new TLS 500 bridle lines, proven to be extremely aerodynamic and lightweight, resulting in faster turning and great surface tension breakthrough upon relaunch. Transforming simplicity and power, the Pivot has been a labor of love for over a decade and continues to remain a favorite among team riders and consumers alike. Innovation is in our blood, and here at Naish, we live for the challenge of bettering our experience on the water every day. Whether you’re into Big Air, foiling, wave-riding, freestyling or freeriding; the Pivot has you covered, a true do-it-all weapon.

QUAD-TEX
Our canopies are made out of Teijin Quad-tex, specifically developed with Naish to provide a rigid and responsive feel, also lasting over time to provide you with the same direct feel after one session or 100 sessions. Quad-tex is coated using a patented procedure, keeping the coating bonded and fresh on the material after prolonged UV and wind exposure. The 4×4 yarns provide a balanced, low stretch characteristic, maintaining the kites profile exactly how it was designed. Quad-tex is the highest quality canopy available on the market.
