I have had 2017's & 2019's. The 2019's are a step up if you can believe it. I would get a 6 simply because, in 20 years of kiting, the Pivot 6 is my favorite kite. It's fast, fast, fast & powerful. Super fun kite!!!!

I have the 5'2" Whip CSC for freestyle and really small stuff. This is exactly w...
@Hugh2, I went from a quiver of 2015-16 Pivots to the 2017 versions with quadtex and thought that the difference was substantial. Do you notice a performance difference between 7 and the 9/11?

Either something is off with the Slash or ...
My max was 42knts steady with gusts up to 52, 1.5 km downwind from the weatherstation that measured the speed so I consider it pretty reliable. It was fun to be out with 4 kiters in total on a beach that's normally filled with 100s on good days. Short session on a 5m Pivot on short lines, no real ju...
Humans are not designed to live much past 30. Unbelievable statement for someone living in 2020. Where, good friend, do you get your conspiracy theories and "facts"? :o He's mixing some stuff up. The reason for the average life time of humans being in the 30s is the fact that child death used to be...
