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

It seems like you guys dont have a clue about how the system is built. :nono:

Soo the Pivot....I think kite is an upset. The jumping is just a bonus. The wave performance ahh...

Does anybody know, if there is a new park in 2015 or does the pivot replace the park... I hope not...
Last year there were many pictures of parks/torches before the official announcment... Same with the pivot this year... At the moment there is nothing about a new park... So I´m wondering...
I prefer a kite which is good in all disciplins and the park seems perfect for me... wave, wakestyle, freestyle!

No the park is still in production as far as I know. Apparently it's moved more along the freestyle/ wakestyle spectrum with the pivot coming in with its surf capabilities.

Thanks Westozzy! I hope the park will be still great for waveriding. I like all disciplines and don´t want a specific kite for each... And hopefully they keep the static bridle, but a bit shorter :)

According to the videos seen a few weeks ago (videos floating around before the official launch), the Park 2015 seems to have kept the same static bridle length.
New graphic but specs look similar to 2014. Need confirmation though.

Hey Phil,
do you have any links to videos? I haven´t seen anything...
What is to expect from the new park: new bar (hopfully less tearing of depower rope, better swivel), new inflating/deflationg valve, ??? something more?

Found the Park never round in the turns while waveriding, ok turn initation, then nothing and a sudden spike, and it's not just me finding this irritating...especially while riding waves...
Really curious about the Pivot, has been some while that I've been eager to try a new Naish kite... Fast turning and great low end is important for me. The appearantly good jumping is a welcome bonus..
