The Torch is the #1 kite of choice for dedicated freestyle and unhooked wave riders. Key Features:...

Kites: park & Alana park & Alana technology Low Drag Wing Tip New Static Bridle Platform Eliminates the pulley and keeps the kite stable and driving forward. This wing tip geometry reduces the overall surface area of the nonlifting portion, which greatly reduces drag. The more efficient the lift/drag ratio becomes, the faster the wing tip can move through the air. This allows the kite to be both quicker and more responsive through turns. Octopus Inflation System This proven, quick and easy single-point inflation system creates uniform pressure in the struts and leading edge. The Naish exclusive...

The Ride has rounded wing tips, which allow the kite to rotate with less drag while resting on the water. This makes for extremely easy water relaunching characteristics. It also has a slightly flatter arc compared to other kites, which gives it more punch when sheeting...
