For all-round kitesurfers who like to ride waves
Designer goals (manufacturer text)
The Pivot is ideal for a wide range of riders and styles. Its ability to turn on a tight axis without an aggressive pull makes this kite perfect for nailing jumps, charging the next big swell and everything in between.
A huge confidence booster when learning new moves, the Pivot’s predictable power delivery, direct bar feel and intuitive steering puts riders in control at all times. The medium aspect ratio supports substantial low-end power, great upwind performance and that sought after “sheet-in-and-go” feel.
- Precision turns on a small axis with minimal power increase in the turn
- “Sheet-in-and-go” feel + easy jumping
- ABS Bridle for consistent forward drive + maximum depower + no back-stalling
- Quick water relaunch
- Natural drifting effect
- Canopy Stabilizer
- Constant leading edge taper
- High-flow Valve

The pivot is stearing pretty fast, perfect to get a good low end wind range.
Also for jumping this kite is perfect and easy to handle. it’s easy to jump and land. Even using a downloop with the landing feels safe en pretty.
i used the Naish pivot 12m2 with 16-19 knots and it totally challenged me to do some nice freeride hooked tricks. The kite doesn’t have a lot of bar pressure, what i personally don’t like but because of the low bar pressure i am doing a lot more hooked tricks. Because it always feels safe to do, because you don’t get a big boost while pulling the bar.
This kite isn’t that much different from the 2015 pivot.
I definitely keep riding the Naish Pivot 2016 because it makes me feel so good and happy on the water.
The Naish Pivot is great for beginner and advanced riders and good for cruising, freeride and big airs.

For a slightly above average skilled kiter its a good kite to get your jumps right. I felt comfortable jumping with it,very flexible.
The Pivot gives you a lots of hangtime so if you want to (learn how to) jump big, then i think this will be the right kite for you!
