Eleveight RS V6

The Eleveight RS V6 is the kite in the Eleveight range that makes sense for the widest range of riders. If you want one kite that feels easy to trust, enjoyable to fly and capable of covering everyday freeride, jumping, progression and general all-round use, this is the model most people should start with.

At The SUP Company, we tend to point riders towards the RS when they want a kite that feels sorted in real-world conditions rather than overly specialised on paper. It has the kind of smooth power delivery and direct feedback that helps newer riders progress, while still giving more experienced kiters enough speed, boost and responsiveness to keep sessions fun.

Where it sits in the Eleveight range

The RS V6 is the all-round crossover kite. If your focus is purely Big Air and storm-chasing, the XS V4 is the more specialist option. If you mainly ride waves or foil and want more drift and looser turning, the WS V5 is the better fit. If you are pushing harder into powered freestyle and want a more dedicated Open-C feel, the FS V5 is the step in that direction. For most riders though, the RS is the one that covers the broadest spread of conditions with the fewest compromises.

Why choose the Eleveight RS V6?

• Excellent all-rounder for freeriding, boosting, carving and general progression
• Smooth delivery of power so the kite feels supportive rather than intimidating
• Fast enough turning to stay fun, but still stable and predictable in the sky
• Good wind range and easy upwind performance make quiver building simpler
• Works for riders who want one dependable kite model rather than multiple niche kites

FAQs

Is the RS V6 a good first kite?

For many riders, yes. It is not a no-performance school kite, but it is one of the more sensible choices if you want a first proper kite that you can continue using as your riding improves.

Who should not choose the RS V6?

If you already know you want a specialist Big Air machine, a dedicated freestyle kite or a more surf-specific drift kite, there are more focused options in the Eleveight range. The RS is for riders who value versatility.

What board pairs well with the RS V6?

For most freeriders, a board such as the Eleveight Process V6 Twin Tip is the logical match. If you are newer to kiting and want maximum forgiveness, the Eleveight Ignition V2 Twin Tip is also worth a look.
