When you run a kite center in El Médano, Tenerife, you cannot afford to compromise on equipment. Here, the ocean is demanding, the trade winds blow hard, and the gear is put to the test 365 days a year, from morning till absolute dark, in the hands of both beginners and pro riders.
Today, we want to share a story of trust, quality, and performance: why Sognicanarias chose Eleveight Kites since day one of the brand’s launch, becoming an official Eleveight Pro Center.
The Leap of Quality: Believing in the Vision from Day 1
Starting out with a brand-new name is always a gamble. When Eleveight was founded by a team of riders, engineers, and designers with massive experience in the kiteboarding industry, we had two choices: stick with the old, comfortable brands, or bet on those who wanted to innovate with an obsessive focus on materials and real rider needs.
We chose the second path. Sognicanarias was among the very first centers worldwide to believe in the vision of Peter Stiewe and his team. It wasn’t a marketing choice; it was about the build quality we felt in our hands from the very first prototypes.
10 Years of Evolution: From the first RS to the Stratos
Over the last decade, we’ve watched the lineup evolve, but the core philosophy has remained exactly the same: extreme durability and accessible performance.
-
Eleveight RS: Our ultimate workhorse for lessons and rentals. A crossover kite that eats up the gusty wind of El Médano like no other, making progression effortless for beginners and delivering massive hangtime for advanced riders.
-
Indestructible Materials (X4 Ripstop): For our center, resistance to wear and Tenerife’s intense UV rays is everything. Eleveight’s construction reduces downtime for repairs to zero, ensuring absolute safety for our students.
-
Continuous Innovation: Up to the latest additions like the Stratos, proving that the brand keeps pushing the limits without ever losing sight of reliability.
More Than a Brand, a Rider’s Philosophy
The real strength of this partnership, which has now lasted a decade, is that we share the exact same values. Eleveight doesn’t build kites just to hit catalog numbers; they design gear built by kiters, for kiters.
Every single time we step onto El Médano beach with an Eleveight bar in our hands, we know exactly what to expect: direct feedback, total safety in the quick-release systems, and a wind range that makes all the difference here in Tenerife.
