2016 KITE TECHNOLOGY ABS BRIDLE Pivot, Alana

Sheeted in

RADIAL LOAD DISTRIBUTION All Kites

Sheeted out

ANGLED WING TIP

SWEPT ARC

Torsion transmission to entire LE and low drag on water for relaunch.

The arc generates maximum projected area for power and lift while the swept design provides precision turning, control and ideal relaunch capabilities.

All Kites

CANOPY STABILIZER All Kites

Trailing edge reinforcement for reduced flutter and canopy sheer/wear.

Consistent forward drive + maximum depower + no back-stalling.

CENTER OF EFFORT/ TOW POINT ALIGNMENT All Kites

All wing tips are designed with seams running parallel to the load generated by the flying lines. These seams carry most of the load and spread it higher into the canopy. This design helps prevent fatigue on the fabric and in the wing tip area.

NEW TOUGH TIPS

CONSTANT LEADING EDGE TAPER Pivot, Alana, Draft, Park HD

Increased rigidity in wing tip for sharper turning.

THREE-STRUT DESIGN Park HD, Pivot, Alana

Park HD, Torch

Lightweight, light wind performance + faster turning.

HIGH FLOW VALVE All Kites

One-way valve for reduced frictional force + easy inflation + immediate deflation.

Stability at different angles of attack for consistent forward drive and lift.

16

Added reinforcement on the wing tip area spreads the heavy load created by the Torch and Park HD perfectly throughout the entire canopy of the kite.

Draft

EVOLUTIVE PROFILE All Kites

The profile’s depth and shape evolves along the airfoil, helping create a fastflying, stable kite with less back stalling. The center sections generate power, thanks to a deeper profile, while the flatter profile in the tips minimizes drag and allows for faster turning.

RADIAL SEGMENTED ARC All Kites

The radial segmented shape uses short linear segments to accurately form the kite’s arc.

STATIC BRIDLE PLATFORM Park HD, Draft

Eliminates the pulley, keeping the kite stable and driving forward.


LOW DRAG WING TIP Pivot, Alana, Ride, Trip

This wing tip geometry decreases the overall surface area of the non-lifting portion, greatly reducing 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 All Kites

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.

LIGHTWEIGHT SOLID FRAME CONSTRUCTION All Kites

Every strut is attached to an optimized, lightweight frame consisting of heavyduty dacron that is then sewn onto the canopy for unmatched resistance to wear and heavy loads.

COMPACT C Park HD, FLY

The Compact C-shape blends the pop and lift of a C-kite with the power, control and turning of a swept leading edge kite. In addition, it provides ideal re-launch capabilities.

ANTI-STICTION WINDOW Park HD, Fly, Trip, Ride

The wing tip features a flow-through window, which reduces static friction and allows for easy relaunch by letting water drain instantly.

C-SHAPE Torch

This proven airframe design delivers maximum pop and lift. The non-swept outline aligns the center of effort with the tow point for perfect loading through the canopy at all times, resulting in power through the turn.

COMPACT STORAGE Trip

Packs up 30% smaller than a kite with struts.

FUSION 5-LINE PLATFORM Torch

The Fusion Platform has the 5th line locked in one direction at the split of the front line, so that it can only be pulled from the rider’s side. This depowers the kite instantly. It also supports the arc, allowing the Torch to have a small leading-edge diameter for superior performance.

SWEPT OPEN C Draft

The swept open C-shape maximizes the lift of the C-kite airframe. Its open arc delivers more power on demand than other kites of the same size and provides unmatched upwind performance. The swept profile balances the kite for better turning.

INCREASED LEADING EDGE CURVATURE IN WING TIP AREA Ride, Pivot, Trip

Effortless water relaunch & less drag.

TWO-STRUT DESIGN Ride

Lightweight + amazing low-end power.

MINI-BATTENS Ride, Trip, Fly

Profile stability at low angle of attack.

SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT, ANODIZED ALLOY PULLEY Fly, Trip, Ride

POWER FOIL CANOPY All Kites

The power foil canopy has horizontal seam shaping. The result is a kite that creates instant lift.

STRUTLESS DESIGN Trip

Lightweight + low-end power for light wind.

Reduces weight + increases durability.

SWEPT COMPACT C Trip, Ride

The swept compact C-shape blends the pop and lift of a C-kite with the power, control and turning of a swept leading edge kite. In addition, it provides ideal relaunch capabilities.

17


2016 KITE CONSTRUCTION EASY ACCESS ZIPPER PLACEMENT

Extremely easy access to the internal valve when replacing bladders.

ARAMID PATCHES

Patches along Leading Edge segments protect the seams.

18

MOLDED TRAILING EDGE REINFORCEMENT

Optimal trailing edge protection with a molded reinforcement at the end of each strut.

CANOPY STABILIZER

Trailing edge reinforcement for reduced flutter and canopy sheer/wear.

MOLDED BUMPERS

Large thermo-molded bumpers wrap around the leading edge, which provide seam protection when landing and launching the kite.

2-PIECE LEADING EDGE

This construction provides better twist control of the leading edge and improves turning performance.


DEFLATE VALVE DOUBLE VELCRO CLOSURE

The deflate valve has a double-Velcro closure design to ensure closure during impact.

INFLATION PRESSURE GAUGE

All Naish pumps include a built-in inflation pressure gauge. This provides optimum bladder pressure to maximize the kite’s performance.

REINFORCED STRUT ZIPPERS

A double-Velcro flat enclosure ensures that the zipper will not fail under load.

VERTICAL SEAM STRUTS

A reduction in the number of pieces used in the struts means more precision in defining the canopy profile. The seams are also reinforced with an extra layer of webbing and double zigzag stitches to prevent breakage.

HIGH-FLOW VALVE

One way valve ensures reduced frictional force, easy inflation and immediate deflation.

19

OVERVIEW

10°

Each feature has an impact on the way a board rides and these characteristics all work in relation to each other. It is important to observe that one feature in itself does not determine the character of a board, but, instead, a combination of these features provides the overall function. All features have been adjusted and balanced to target conditions in which the boards are designed to perform.
