Extraordinary efficiency
Thanks to its exceptionally aerodynamic design, the RS V8 boasts impressive efficiency. The kite delivers strong low-end power and continues to perform efficiently in all conditions. This means you can cover almost the entire wind range with just two kites. In the 14m and 17m sizes, the XT Light material ensures even better performance in light wind and faster turns.
Massive hangtime & easy upwind travel
The RS V8 is known for its forward drive and insane hangtime. Kiteloops recover easily due to the improved angle of attack, and riding upwind remains effortless — even with gusts or choppy water. Whether you're chasing waves, popping freestyle tricks, or just want to cruise: the RS always feels versatile and familiar.
Fast, agile and smooth
The kite turns fast, agile and smooth with a dynamic yet controlled character. The adjusted wingtip curvature provides more playful performance, while a modified bridle-attachment results in less bar pressure and faster turn initiation. The result: more direct steering, less fatigue, and more fun per session.
