Switch Element 4 (2016)

2015
 
The new Element4 is the latest refinement of the popular Element line. Offering great all-round performance in any terrain, the Element4 will be there when you need it, taking you to new levels of riding.
 
The Element has exceptional low-end power allowing you to ride in marginal conditions on water, snow or land. By design, the Element is stable and predictable without compromising performance or handling. Riders from first lesson beginners to hardcore waveriders will find it equally up to the task. Wave riders instantly notice quick turns with remarkable drift for riding in all conditions. The Element penetrates upwind getting you quickly back to the take-off for the next wave. With the introduction of stronger, lighter materials and improved construction, the Element is built to take daily punishment. A hard-wired bridal system provides direct bar feel with on demand instant depower. The user-friendly 3-strut design gives the Element a compact feel and the mid-aspect outline instant relaunch.
 
If Simplicity, Performance and Versatility is what you are looking for, go no further.

Switch Kiteboarding Arrow ThumbConstruction
 
The Element is constructed of several new fabrics that went under testing at Switch for over a year. New materials include a combination of new double ripstop canopy fabric with trailing edge panels of a more stable, higher-strength double-insert fabric to reduce TE stretch and retain shape with continued use.
 
A new strut design combines constant curve shaping with re-directed seam orientations to prevent cross-seam shear when subjected to extreme loads.
