KEY FEATURES:

Profile Lock Seam
Located along the high point of the kite, the Profile Lock Seam ensures that the kite maintains its shape even after countless sessions.

Bladder Cap Construction
Rounded aramid wingtip and strut closure eliminates any chance of bladder explosions. Designed to withstand higher leading-edge input pressure.

Swift Tips
30% stronger and yet lighter than previous wingtip constructions, providing a streamlined look and faster turning performance.

Quad-Tex Ripstop
The strongest and stiffest canopy material on the market, QuadTex withstands intense conditions while maintaining long term high performance.

HT Plus Seam
High-tenacity thread that reinforces the seam on the leading edge, ensuring confidence in a high-pressure inflation for improved performance.

Aerodynamic Flying Bridles
Extremely lightweight and aerodynamic, decreasing air and water drag and enabling easier relaunch.

Bridle Point Construction
Adjustable, intuitive, stronger and cleaner than ever before: increase the wind range of the kite, maximize depower in the bar throw.

SureLock Valve
Flushed inflation valve with secure twist lock mechanism for pump-hose, for easy and fast inflation.

Double Diagonal Load Seam
Improves direct steering for a responsive and well-balanced kite. Also holds canopy tension throughout the lifespan of the kite.

TPU Strut Bumper
Additional protection of struts from wear and tear.

Aramid Bumpers
Protection against wear and tear during launching and landing.

Progressive Profile
Provides a great balance between extreme vertical lift, hang time, and steering responsiveness.

Trailing Edge Flutter Reduction
Constructed with 2-ply QuadTex to reduce fluttering and enhance durability.

Quad-Tex
The canopies are made out of Teijin Quad-tex, specifically developed with Naish to provide a rigid and responsive feel, also lasting over time to provide you with the same direct feel after one session or 100 sessions. Quad-tex is coated using a patented procedure, keeping the coating bonded and fresh on the material after prolonged UV and wind exposure. The 4x4 yarns provide a balanced, low stretch characteristic, maintaining the kites profile exactly how it was designed. Quad-tex is the highest quality canopy available on the market.

Their leading edges are made of the best, most durable and safe materials available. Teijin Dacron is strong, safe, UV stable and durable, meaning the kite will last and stay consistent over time. The canopies are made out of Teijin Quadtex, a material specifically developed with Naish to provide a rigid and responsive feel that remains consistent whether after one session or one hundred.

Quadtex is coated using a patented procedure that keeps the coating bonded and fresh after prolonged UV and wind exposure. The 4x4 yarns provide a balanced, low stretch characteristic, maintaining the kite profile exactly as designed. Quadtex is considered the highest quality canopy available on the market, and it is also offered at an accessible price point. Naish utilizes high tensile thread throughout the stitching process, made from the highest marine grade materials to ensure seams remain strong, safe and secure. Their stitching methods have been refined over many years of working with their factory, resulting in kites with some of the lowest failure rates on the market.

Their PU bladders are designed for the ideal balance of weight and durability. After testing many materials over the years, Naish selected a bladder that offers durability and lightness to help prevent leaks or failures, reducing the chance of missing sessions. Thanks to the bladder materials, stitching, valves and cap construction, Naish kites can safely handle high PSI inflation pressures, giving the kites a precise and responsive feeling.

Naish valves are made from two components. Before being mounted into the bladders, each component is paired, pressurized twice and individually numbered. Each set is tracked and approved as safe by their quality control team. Every bladder is fully inflated and tested for twenty four hours before insertion into the kite, then reinflated for another eight hours at the recommended PSI. Once all components pass quality control, each kite is photographed and numbered so it can be tracked and referenced easily. This process ensures that only kites meeting the highest quality standards reach the customer.

Safety on the water begins with reliable equipment, and Naish is proud to offer products that meet their high standards. From concept to design to the final stages of production, Naish takes great care to deliver equipment that is high quality and safe, so riders can focus on having a great time on the water.
