2021 Eleveight Master Kiteboard Kiteworld Review
The 2021 Eleveight Master kiteboard is a beauty! Let's get past it's good looks and have a read at an excerpt from Kiteworld magazine's review of the Eleveight Master kiteboard.
TEST TEAM NOTES:
This is our second season testing the Master and, while Eleveight say they’ve re-designed it from the ground-up, they are still truly hitting the bullseye when it comes to all-round performance levels. Their marketing headline may boast that ‘The Master is a high-performance freeride to freestyle twin-tip for riders with a powerful style, to boost staggeringly big airs and send handle-pass tricks’, but don’t overlook this board if you’re not quite at that level. The Master’s upgraded, clean look is incredibly tidy this year and the board itself can deliver an accessible ride to a broad array of ability levels.
This is one of those boards that if you walk into a shop and really like the look of it, you should probably save yourself shopping headaches, buy it and just go riding. Usually competitively priced, the Master is strong but adequately light and there are no water conditions or situations that it will feel out of place in.
