When you need one kite to handle everything from boosted Big Air and high-speed freeriding to wave carving and foiling, the 2027 Naish Pivot Q Series delivers dependable performance every time you launch. You'll experience smooth power delivery and accurate handling thanks to its balanced canopy profile and direct bar feedback. The forward-flying position cuts efficiently through the wind window, giving you excellent control and wide depower when gusty conditions hit. Whether you are stomping new jump transitions or drifting through wave sections, this kite provides the stability and predictable relaunch you need to ride with complete confidence.

What Naish has to say:

The Pivot [Q]Series has earned its place in the history books, trusted by world champs and everyday riders alike. The Pivot [Q]Series is a high-performance all-round kite designed to deliver efficient power, precise steering response, and stability across multiple disciplines. Designed for freeride, big air, wave riding and foiling, it combines a forward-flying position in the wind window with a highly balanced canopy profile for excellent control and versatility.

Its intuitive turning characteristics and direct bar feedback give the rider immediate input and accurate handling, while the wide depower range helps maintain control in gusty or overpowered conditions. The Pivot [Q]Series stable frame and optimized canopy tension support consistent aerodynamic efficiency, contributing to predictable drift, smooth power delivery and reliable relaunch.

With its combination of structural rigidity, efficient profile control and multi-discipline usability, the Pivot [Q]Series is designed to offer technical performance in a highly accessible package.

How does it compare?

Versus previous construction designs:

The 2027 Naish Pivot Q Series introduces a single layer of Code-Tec-95p ripstop on the trailing edge, replacing the dual-layer Quad-Tex design to trim overall weight and increase flying responsiveness. The airframe features Blended Leading Edge Construction, utilizing stiffer DKC 160 Dacron in the center for structural support under heavy loads and flexible DLE 140 Dacron near the wingtips for better torsional flex and dynamic steering response. Refined profile shaping also enhances low-end usability, lift, and aerodynamic efficiency compared to earlier builds.

Design Features:

• Code-Tec-95p Trailing Edge - Utilizes a single layer of Code-Tec-95p ripstop along the trailing edge to lower overall kite weight while making steering lighter and more responsive.
• Blended Leading-Edge Construction - Combines stiff DKC 160 Dacron through the center strut arc to hold structural rigidity under high loads with flexible DLE 140 Dacron near the wingtips to improve dynamic torsional flex.
• Updated Profile Shaping - Refined canopy shaping improves flight efficiency, total lift, and low-end usability while maintaining multi-discipline versatility.

Tech Specs:

• QuadTex Canopy - Delivers high canopy strength, durability, and stiffness to keep the kite driving clean through high wind stress and demanding sessions.
• Profile Lock Seam - Locks the draft position in place across the canopy frame to support long-term durability and structural consistency over time.
