Extraordinary efficiency  Its remarkable aerodynamic design gives it the ability to traverse the whole wind range with just two kites. The RS V8's profile provides exceptional low-end performance efficiency under all circumstances. With the addition of XT Light material in the 14m and 17m sizes, performance in lower winds is now even more optimized, and turning speeds are increased. Massive hangtime & easy upwind travel  The RS is notable for its incredible forward propulsion and hangtime. The increased angle of attack makes loop recovery a breeze, and the RS moves quickly upwind through any gusts or choppiness in the sea. Whether you're cruising, popping freestyle tricks, or chasing waves, you'll adore the RS's adaptable performance. Fast, agile and smooth Given its quickness and agility, the RS excels at dynamic, smooth turns. To improve dynamic performance, the wingtip curvature has been modified. Additionally, a change in the bridle attachment point lowers bar pressure while enhancing turn start. New for V8:  New for V8 ‘Development never stops’ and we’re constantly improving the RS. With the V8, the canopy's revised panel cuts provide more effective lifting and looping capabilities. In order to facilitate quicker turns and less bar pressure, the bridle attachment points have been moved towards the tips. Additionally, a new 3D bridle deflector guards against inversion. Dynamic turning is made possible by the wingtip curvature, while the 14- and 17-meter sizes of XT Light fabric improve performance in lighter winds and accelerate turning. Who is it for? Whatever your preferred style of riding, the RS kite offers a flexible and all-around option. Big air riders appreciate it for its double-loop capabilities, but it's most suited for freeriding, but it can handle anything in between. Whatever your taste, the RS is a versatile powerhouse that will quickly get you excited!
