I agree..i can't wait for the Pivot LE!!
I heard it should be here this week or next??? Maybe there are delays because of the pandemic tho?
I did buy the new kite foil and S25 surf wings. Super nice. The foils are light, and the kite foil much smoother to ride than the previous versions. I have not had a ton of time on them, but I was surprised at how much of an impact the overall lower weight had on riding it.

Have ordered an 8m Pivot (but in blue/pacific blue. I think it will look similar to the current Boxer, which looks beautiful in the air.). I do not know if there are technical changes. I was told, that shipment is expected in Germany round about mid of August. One of the Naish team riders talked about a new bar coming a couple of months ago in an Instagram stream. But it is not there, yet. I am looking forward to it, maybe next spring.

Yeah I ordered all 3 kites in the LE Skull logo. I had to do it......when I learned on the 2 line AR 3.5 umteen years ago it had that logo and I remember being terrified and stoked AF all at once.
Terror nostalgia? lol
I said to my buddies several years ago after we got 2016 Pivots that if Naish ever comes out with a black Pivot with the Sky Pirate that I'd buy one immediately. Well...bluff called. I'm on the hook.
love it.

Me too, I have the current Boxer in 11m. Really nice on the foil in sub 10 Knots, but equally fun on a TwinTip in the lower to mid wind range. And it handles some stronger gusts really well as well. I need to try it on a directional.

Nice. Mine is the 6. I have last years boxer 11 but I think this year I will just have the pivot in the large size. Just not enough days I can use the kite. I rode in waves, and it was fine, but I do like the pivot better for waves..it fits my riding style better.
Boxer is definitely a can do kite, but for waves and TT I definitely prefer the pivot.
If I can get a pivot 11 with a damn skull on it I will be the happiest man ever.
