DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Ride Feel
From your first run, the WS V10 feels incredibly fast and pivotal. It reacts instantly to bar input and gives direct feedback, with light bar pressure but sharp responsiveness. Its drift is a major highlight: the kite floats well in the window, soaks up gusts, and maintains balanced power with controlled downwind drift. This means you can focus on carving your line down the wave instead of constantly managing the kite's power.
Shape and Bridle
The WS V10 is built on a 3-strut, hybrid open-C frame. Its medium aspect ratio is tuned for wave, foil, and freeride, while its medium-to-low sweep wingtips maximize responsiveness. The 6-point bridle ensures crisp load transfer, maintaining a direct connection between your hands and the kite for intuitive steering and precise turns. This balance gives you the confidence to load the rail or link loops together.
What's New in the V10
The V10 introduces several key upgrades. A new 6-point bridle geometry improves load transfer, delivering a more direct feel, lighter bar pressure, and better control in turns. It also boosts arc and wingtip stability while reducing bridle snags. Faster tip profiles reduce drag during turns and loops, and a slightly reduced aspect ratio expands its crossover capabilities. Finally, the Push Lock valve speeds up inflation and deflation.
Performance and Wind Range
Designed for the waves, the WS V10 delivers instant response and precise control exactly when you need it. Power is available on demand for critical sections, while its natural drift keeps you perfectly positioned on the line. Its versatility covers a wide wind range: depending on the size, it performs from 10 to 36 knots. At the low end of its range, it remains forgiving and easy to fly, making it great for when the wind gets light.
Construction and Materials
The construction prioritizes lightness to maintain its sharp handling, even in light wind. The XT 2.0 fabric, a high-tenacity polyester from Teijin, is used for the leading edge and struts to reduce weight and improve drift. The X4 ripstop, developed exclusively for Eleveight, limits canopy stretch for precise flight and resists tears. The 6x6 weave X6 material reinforces the trailing edge, wingtips, and high-stress areas for long-term durability.
Who is it for?
The WS V10 is aimed at wave riders who want control, drift, and responsiveness. Robust and resistant to stalling, it's also perfect for those who want an intuitive, easy-to-steer kite that performs across multiple disciplines without compromise: Surf, freeride, and foil. Its steering is optimized for one-handed control, making maneuvers easier. If you're unsure about the size, stop by the GlissEvolution shop in Pornichet: we'll help you choose the right size for your weight, spot, and riding style.
