Which kite size?
Rule of thumb for a rider of 75 to 85 kg on a twin tip. If you're lighter, go down a size. On a foil you can make do with a smaller kite and ride in less wind.

Pivot
Started as a wave kite
Pivot came out in 2014 as Naish's wave kite. It has three struts, is light and turns tightly around the wingtip, and today it is used for everything from freeride to waves.
Robby Naish was there when kitesurfing took off. He won the kite world title in 1998 and 1999, and in 1999 Naish's first tube kite, the AR3.5, came out.
