Eleveight
The kites our school teaches on and our staff ride on their days off. If you want one kite that does everything for years, this is where we start.
The brand the whole shop is built on
If you’ve had a lesson with us, you’ve flown an Eleveight. They’re on our school racks, they’re what our instructors ride on days off, and they’re what we reach for when the forecast is uncertain. That isn’t sponsorship — it’s what running a school on the Kent coast teaches you about which kites actually survive.
Founded July 2017 by a group who left Best Kiteboarding to build a brand on their own terms. Peter Stiewe is both CEO and kite designer, so the person choosing the materials draws the shapes. And Infinity is Eleveight’s exclusive dealer in the UK, so the whole range — and the chance to fly one before you buy it — is right here at Greatstone.
What you should know before you buy one
We sell more Eleveight than anything else, so we’ve also seen where it doesn’t suit people. Here’s the straight version.
Why you’ll love it
- ✓
It just worksRelaunch, depower, stability in gusts — the unglamorous things that decide whether a session is fun. We trust these with complete beginners.
- ✓
One range, whole journeyThe RS+ sees you through your first seasons on your own, the RS takes you from your first jump to your hundredth, and the Stratos is there when all you want is height.
- ✓
Parts and repairs, locallyAs the UK dealer, bladders and bridles come straight to us. A repair is a conversation, not a courier.
What it asks of you
- !
Not the lightest kite you can buyIf maximum hangtime is your only priority, a stripped-out kite like the Harlem Peak will out-boost it. Eleveight builds for longevity first.
- !
The range takes explainingRS, RS+, Stratos, WS, OS — a lot of letters, and the websites don’t make it obvious. Two minutes with us narrows it to one kite.
- !
Version numbers move fastA new version lands most years and the changes are usually incremental. Last season’s model is often the smarter buy, and we’ll say so.
Our school runs on Eleveight. When a kite survives season after season of lessons and still gets ridden on our days off, that tells you more than any review we could write.
The kites on our school racks
Every beginner lesson, every windy afternoon where a kite gets dropped in the shallows and relaunched twenty times — that’s the testing programme behind this page. It means we know which size you want for your weight at Greatstone, and which model suits someone riding twice a month rather than twice a week.
Try one before you commit
Far better you find out on our demo than after you’ve paid for one. Twenty minutes in real Channel wind settles it.

Which one suits you
The range is broad, which is a strength once someone points you at the right letter. These three cover most riders who walk through our door.

Our three flagship kite brands
We stock a lot of brands. These are the three we build the kite wall around — each one there for a different rider.
