Some things are difficult to describe in words…like the feeling you get when you catch your very first wave, the rush of flying across the water powered by only the wind, or the thrill of flying through the air pulled by a kite like something out of a fairy tale. We know the emotions that are stirred when a customer rides a Naish board, sail or kite for the first time. It is the combination of shape & form, color & materials, engineering & testing, quality & team, and imagery & history working together flawlessly. It’s the perfect blend of style, technology and function. At Naish, this is...

High Performance Freeride/ Big Air/Race Women’s Freeride/Wave All-around Freeride Light Wind Freeride

KITES: PIVOT PIVOT Freeride/Wave Sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 The Pivot emerges in the lineup as a smooth, all-around freeride/wave kite for a wide range of riders and styles. Its overall structure and ability to pivot on a small axis of rotation provides quick and easy turning, intuitive steering and predictable power development. It features a medium aspect ratio for substantial low-end power, a “sheet-in and go” feel, easy jumping and great upwind performance. Thanks to its ability to make precision turns on a small axis with minimum power increase in the turn, the Pivot is also...

KITES: ALANA ALANA Women’s Freeride/Wave Sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12 All new for 2015, the Alana emerges in the lineup as a smooth, all-around women’s freeride/wave kite for a wide range of riders and styles. Based on the Pivot’s design, the Alana’s overall structure and ability to pivot on a small axis of rotation provides quick and easy turning, intuitive steering and predictable power development. It features a medium aspect ratio for substantial low-end power, a “sheet-in and go” feel, easy jumping and great upwind performance. Aside from being a fantastic freeride kite, the Alana’s...

KITES: PIVOT & ALANA PIVOT/ALANA Technology OCTOPUS INFLATION SYSTEM This proven, quick, and easy single-point inflation system creates uniform pressure in the struts and leading edge. Naish’s exclusive one-way internal valve ensures that the pressure within the struts does not change during turns. Torsion transmission to entire LE and low drag on water for relaunch CANOPY STABILIZER Trailing edge reinforcement for reduced flutter and canopy sheer/wear EVOLUTIVE PROFILE The profile’s depth and shape evolves along the airfoil, helping create a fast flying, stable kite with less back...

KITES: PARK PARK Freeride/Freestyle Sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 The 2015 Park is one kite that does it all for any rider, any style, in any condition. The powerful profile gives the rider outstanding low-end power and consistent pull over a wide range of wind speeds while the reduced leading edge taper and HD radial segmented arc provide a solid feel, extra stability and increased control. The Compact C outline and three-strut design create a stable and responsive kite. The Park uses just enough sweep to maximize depower and allow for easy relaunch. Its refined static bridle...

PARK Technology KITES: PARK OCTOPUS INFLATION SYSTEM This proven, quick, and easy single-point inflation system creates uniform pressure in the struts and leading edge. Naish’s exclusive one-way internal valve ensures that the pressure within the struts does not change during turns. The HD Radial Segmented shape uses twice the amount of short linear segments to accurately form the kite’s arc, resulting in increased arc definition and a more solid kite. Trailing edge reinforcement for reduced flutter and canopy sheer/wear EVOLUTIVE PROFILE The profile’s depth and shape evolves along the...

KITES: TORCH TORCH Pro Performance Freestyle Sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 The 2015 Torch is designed for freestyle riders who demand a state-of-the-art, fast flying C-kite with precision response for hooked and unhooked riding. With a concentration on increased performance in strong winds, the Torch features a newly reduced leading edge taper, which provides increased stability, solid feel and outstanding control and handling. Power is delivered smoothly, while the depower is similar to that of a bridled kite due to its ability to fly fast through the air. This proven, 2x “King of...

KITES: TORCH TORCH Technology REDUCED LEADING EDGE TAPER Solid feel + stability + control in high winds Trailing edge reinforcement for reduced flutter and canopy sheer/wear NEW HIGH FLOW VALVE One-way valve for reduced frictional force + easy inflation + immediate deflation OCTOPUS INFLATION SYSTEM This proven, quick, and easy single-point inflation system creates uniform pressure in the struts and leading edge. Naish’s exclusive one-way internal valve ensures that the pressure within the struts does not change during turns. EVOLUTIVE PROFILE The profile’s depth and shape evolves along the...

KITES: DRAFT DRAFTFreeride/Big Air/Race High Performance Sizes: 7, 9, 10.5, 12, 14, 17 The Draft is a high performance freeride kite that generates powerful lift for boosting big airs and long gliding jumps. It features a state-of-the-art airfoil design that excels at hooked-in riding, upwind performance, and competitive speed. The Draft’s new reduced leading edge taper adds rigidity to the wing tip, moving the axis of rotation closer to the center of the kite, resulting in sharper turning and a more precise bar feel. It has five struts on the 7, 9, 10.5, and 12 sizes for optimum...
