So putting it out there and for a bit of fun ,who's reaching dizzy heights on a Naish Pivot 9m.
Just out of interest what's your best height gain on this kite and in what conditions?

My highest (with 8m) was 10.1 m
24 avg 30 knots gusts side-onshore wind
But recordjump, with Pivot 9, if i'm not worng, was recently in Belgium, a guy named Thomas de Wispelaere: 19,5 M. But I guess he's 30 years younger
Check your woo for #pivot

I got my '17 Pivot 9 last week, and have flown it 3 times now with waveboard (1) & twintip. Happy to get a new PR yesterday at a meagre 8.3m
. Still a lot left on the table so I should be able to move up soon. 19.5 will probably not be on the cards soon. Or ever
Also a new hangtime record at 6.5sec
