Naish Pivot Q 2026

The Psycho has a pretty clear use case. It is built for riders who want to go bigger than ever before and feel comfortable in their progression. Stay in the air longer and comfortably hold down more power. The kite drives upward fast, but it is balanced well so that it is not twitchy, and does not need to be constantly piloted to perfection to land softly. The profile is forgiving, and the fixed bridle setup allows for fast, direct and stable drive at all times. 

The kite instills confidence so that you are not just recklessly sending it, but you are going to another level in a way that lets you see the session out unscathed.

The kite is very differently designed from anything else in the line. With a 5-strut, high-aspect ratio combined with efficient, fast profiles, the kite wants to do nothing but drive forward and upward at all times. This combination results in vertical takeoffs, huge hangtime, and a kite that stays ready above you to give a great second lift from downloops on the way down. The pull in the loop is an easy-to-predict progressive feel, accelerating through the arcing turn, ready to shoot back above your head as soon as it is complete.

We constructed the entire leading edge and struts out of a super stiff, low-elongation Dacron, which will not only hold up to those 40-knot sessions time and time again, but also be a true match for our industry-leading QuadTex canopy material.

The Psycho is really built to take you into orbit, but land you back to earth in the safest possible manner, leaving you wondering where the limits really lie.
