Inspired by the roots…
We have a strong passion for water sports. An urge to
be out there. This manifests in the brand we created.
Our main drive is our history and passion. Each and
every member of our team is most comfortable when
there is a board beneath the feet. Our inspiration
comes from kiteboarding, surfing, skateboarding,
wakeboarding, snowboarding and windsurfing.
In the process of building this brand we came across
the word “elevate” which best describes our feeling
while riding. We combined it with the “eight” that
represents not only the fluid movement of a kite but
furthermore our vision and spirit for infinity, harmony
and sustainability.
Eleveight was born.

characteristics are the perfect DNA for a wave kite. Everybody who touched the WS was
impressed by his crossover capacity and what a fun kite this is to fly.

With the PS we had a clear aim in mind. A very well-balanced price point kite for kite newbies
and schools but without compromising on quality and performance. We believe on a simple
kite DNA which consist of moderate turning speed, an easy and nearly automatic relaunch
and a high flight stability. We reinforced strategic areas to decrease the wear and tear. For the
need of this target group we introduced an innovative pull in bridle system which decreases
line tangle.

Eleveight’s technical product design is based on the principles of performance, quality,
functionality and innovation.
The variety of kiteboarding styles is demanding on our gear in a lot of ways. Only very
well designed products fulfil the rider’s needs and are truly satisfying. Clean and smooth
canopy profiles, stable flight geometry, harmonic shapes and well-constructed details are
visible indicators for great design and make all the difference in the kite’s performance. Only
great design allows us to push the sport. With more than 15 years of experience designing
inflatable kites, more than 1500 engineered prototypes and countless bridle setups tested,
designing kites is natural to me.
Eleveight puts 100% focus on the products. We love the sport and great product design
makes all the difference.

Page / 33CONTROL BAR
DESIGN VISION
Following our beliefs in clean, rider friendly design we began developing a bar
that is safe and functional. We engineered the CS bar. Its core piece is the newly
designed Quick Matic Quick release. The activation pressure is under 6 kg with
a 200 kg load (French norm tested) and assembling has never been easier: No
need to move the cuff up – the chicken loop smoothly clicks back into the system
and the bar is ready to be used again. The bar works in perfect harmony with our
complete kite range.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
● 4 line bar with single front line safety
● Innovative Quick-Matic release system with top swivel
● Customizable de-power length with clam cleat
● Front and backline trim option
● Kook proof connection system
● French norm safety compliance
● Thermocoated high performance lines made in Germany
● Short safety leash included

Page / 42PERFORMANCE SURFBOARD
DESIGN VISION
Our goal was to develop a great all- around performance board, designed to keep
speed and control in solid wave conditions. The thin rail profile together with the
harmonic outline gives you an excellent rail to rail performance. The bottom shape
has a single concave running all the way through providing the board with grip
and drive. The rocker line with a nice tail kick makes every top turn an explosion.
Using carbon stringers, inegra vector net reinforcements and the Futures fin
box system makes these boards extremely durable and keeps them ultra high
performing.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
● Modern short board shape for quick turns
● The single concave makes this board is extremely fast and drivey
● Thruster fin set up with Futures box
● Medium density foam for balanced ratio of high performance
and maximum durability
● Inegra Vector grid reinforcements for enhanced durability
● Carbon stringer for responsive flex
● Hand shaped high performance board (no inserts for straps)
● Ideal wave size medium to big

DESIGN VISION
The Escape reflects the need for a new generation of kitesurfers. The no-nose shape
together with the moderate entry rocker provide plenty of lift on the water as well as
in the air. The shorter parallel rail line minimizes drag and helps with early planing.
In the surf the Escape performs excellent in small to medium waves. Using carbon
stringers, inegra vector net reinforcements and the Futures fin box system makes
these boards extremely durable and keeps them ultra-high performing.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
● Modern no-nose shape for strapless freestyle and snappy turns
● Single bottom concave with channels for enhanced control
● Short rail line to minimize drag and optimize swing weight
● Moderate rocker line for speed early planing
● Thruster fin set up with Futures box
