Nice design
lol I don't think they resemble much. But I guess a kite is a kite so it also looks like a copy of any kite with an inflatable tube on it?

What's that protruding from the center of the leading edge?
It looks like a Boston valve with a neoprene cover.
I thought Naish still used 9mm valves.

Thanks Taut.
I just watched the Real review. They show it, also.
That's a big bonus to me. More than the easy inflate, I always hated having to leave the old 9mm valves open when packed away especially when the kite was sandy.

Don't discount the above so readily. I can see the new neo (which is nothing like the new reo), rally and lithium in this kites canopy. It's got a refined delta look all over it. With all the pros and cons. We will see I suppose.

it seems to be a nice kite.

I would consider to buy one if not for the octupus inflation system, each time you inflate or deflate the kite you have to close or open 4 valves, isn't it like that?

Eloico.

I think only people who have not tried the octopus have something against it. It is quit smart. And to open/close the strut valves takes only a few seconds. The new big valve on the Pivot is a nice feature too. Why reinvent the wheel ?
Like Taut I expected the Pivot to have less grunt (it have less than Park though). Really nice in the waves. Gonna be a tough choice between Ride and Pivot for strapless riding

Yeah, real hassle.
I wouldn't bother for anything w/o self inflation and autorigging system. Even walking to the beach is pita.

Naish has a 90 day warranty on their kites ?
