FREERIDE / BIG AIR<br />

PASSION MK8<br />

Excellence through Passion; the definition of the new Passion MK8.<br />

The MK8 delivers pure, predictable power, paired with amazing stability. The ‘new best thing’ is a fantastic kite for allround<br />

freeride, big air, and freestyle progression that provides a perfect blend of turning speed, handling, and jumping<br />

ability. Expect incredible performance from this kite due to the changes made to the profile shape and aspect ratio.<br />

The MK8 is re-designed, refined, and has redefined the durability of its predecessor, the Passion MK7. One of the largest<br />

differences is that the new Passion MK8 now has 3 struts instead of 5. The reduction of two struts translates into a lighter<br />

kite with increased low-end.<br />

The MK8 is especially easy to relaunch, even in low wind conditions. Furthermore, the gradually changing power while<br />

sheeting is coupled with consistent bar pressure. Thus aiding in the MK8’s predictability. Boosting huge airs is a blast on<br />

this kite because the kite is smoother and more stable in gusty conditions with increased turning speed.
