2008 Custom Wave - Naish Kiteboarding - #1

Text version of the page

KITEBOARDS CUSTOM WAVE Performance: Offering the most extensive range of wave boards, Naish is the only brand dedicated to surf. While each model offers unique performance, we are proud of the fact that any board that you choose is sure to make you completely stoked. The seven models of Custom are grouped into three ranges: Carve Rocker, Fast Rocker and Fish. The Carve Rocker (CR) models are hand shaped, uncompromised surf designs. With wider widths, curvier outlines, higher rockers, and fuller rails, the CR range lets you carve waves the way you were meant to. The snappy responsiveness and versatility of the CR is excellent for riding with footstraps or unstrapped, hooked or unhooked, kiting into waves or paddling into them. The Fast Rocker (FR) range shares a lower rocker line combined with narrower widths, gunnier outlines, and thinner rails. The result is the FR range delivering absolutely reliable performance in all conditions, including higher speeds and larger waves. Boards in the Fish range are wide and thick, designed to be fun and loose at the slower speeds from smaller waves and lighter winds. All boards come fully equipped with front and rear EVA deck pads, two flexible yet supportive adjustable footstraps, fiberglass premium wave fins, and stainless steel mounting hardware. range model LENGTH WIDTH thickness FR bullet rn 4’10” 15 5/8” 1 7/8” FR quad squash 5’4” 161/2” 1 7/8” FR thruster pin 5’10” 171/4” 2” CR global kite 5’6” 173/8” 21/4” CR strapped surf 6’1” 181/2” 21/4” fish retro twin fin 5’5” 20” 23/8” fish strapped surf 6’6” 20” 21/2” 4’10” 5’4” 5’10” 5’6” 6’1” 5’5” 6’6” fast rocker range 52 carve rocker range fish range 4’10-Bullet RN: Robby’s Pro model characterized by massive grip for powering into huge gouging turns. 5’4”-quad squash: Short gun staying solid to charge at high speeds. 5’10”-thruster pin: Versatile, smooth, and reliable. 5’6”-global kite: Snappy and versatile for all kite conditions.
