Park HD, Draft

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.

The profile’s depth and shape evolves along the airfoil, helping create a fast-flying, 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.

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

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.

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.

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

Sheeted in Sheeted out

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

Lightweight, light wind performance + faster turning.

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

Increased rigidity in wing tip for sharper turning.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Lightweight + amazing low-end power.

Profile stability at low angle of attack.

Lightweight + low-end power for light wind.

Packs up 30% smaller than a kite with struts.

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.

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

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.

Effortless water relaunch & less drag.

Reduces weight + increases durability.

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

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

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

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

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.

FIN ANGLESFin angles are adjusted to suit the design objectives of the different boards,

balancing upwind tracking, grip and release.

OVERVIEWEach 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.

The Global is designed for riders who demand total confidence for powerful strapped or strapless riding in any surf condition. Designed with more rail volume in the front for increased lift, the Global is responsive and forgiving in bottom turns due to thinned-out rails in the tail section—allowing the rider to efficiently power up for a snap off the lip—while still holding high speed down the line. It has a slightly narrower tail and straighter outline in the tail section yielding more power, grip and stability than its predecessor. Thanks to its thruster design, it delivers the best combination of speed, control and drive regardless of wave size and wind conditions.

Ergonomically curved in the molding process with horizontal & vertical seam shapes to follow the shape of your body for maximum support and comfort.

A curved fit in the hip area eliminates excess fabric to increase the rider’s lateral movement.

The Spreader Bar is integrated into the structure of the harness to protect your ribs and keep it securely in place without the need of a separate bar pad.

100% virgin Snipe, free-range raised and non-GMO fed.

All Naish harnesses have soft-rounded edges with padding for essential comfort.

Extra back support for maximum load spread over the widest surface of your back.

Narrower profile for a lighter feel and increased range of motion. An ideal fit for smaller riders.

A lightweight, single load-spreading truss structure that minimizes material use while providing maximum strength.

Soft neoprene covers over buckles prevent lines from snagging.

LOAD-SPREADING STRUCTURE

Internal and external structural elements help spread the load throughout the entire harness.

Extra soft fabric covers our seat harness leg straps to protect the skin.

Strategically placed material allows the back to move freely while increasing your range of motion in all directions.

Inserts located on the interior of the harness provide high traction and incredible grip while prohibiting lateral movement of the harness.

Thermo-formed pieces contain extra padding and stiffness for additional ergonomic back support.

Uses memory foam for increased ribcage protection & includes an extra webbing attachment that secures the pad to the body of the harness to eliminate spreader bar movement.
