Er was al het een en ander gelekt en sommige modellen liggen al in de shops, maar nu officieel de Naish mid-season collectie voor 2017. Met de Fly, Dash, Boxer en Ride.
Inspired by the collective efforts of the industry's top talent, Naish has been pioneering advancement in kiteboarding from the very beginning. Two decades later, we're still committed to progression and take each launch as an opportunity to push the envelope.
In this midseason, we are stoked to unveil two brand new kites, a new board and our latest technological innovations.
This line offers you the power to perform, freedom to discover your unique riding style, instinctive control and the ability to get out on the water when no one else can. Discover what you can experience when you ride Naish. Get More. Do More.
Boxer, Foiling/Freeride:
Uncover your personal riding style with the adaptable and accessible Boxer. A nod to the straightforward design of its namesake, the all-new Boxer blends efficiency and innovation for a riding experience that is both versatile and forgiving.
A single luff strut marries the best characteristics of strutless and strutted kite designs. The strut’s relaxed connection to the canopy creates a dynamic structure, which allows the canopy to freely expand and contract, while maintaining the strength of a strutted framework to handle heavier loads with ease.
An outstanding underpowered kite, the Boxer is incredibly easy to relaunch, light to the touch, responsive but gentle. Very easy to sheet in and go, this kite is quick, easy to control and generates power quickly. It’s light and lively feel at the fingertips makes it approachable and forgiving. In short, the Boxer is the proverbial “yes man”—eager to please, easy to control and supportive enough to explore your own style.

Dash, Freeride/Freestyle:
If the words, “fast” and “intense” are part of your everyday vocabulary, then this is the kite for you. Designed for more engaged riders, the Dash is a powerful performer for any core-kiter with the skills to unlock its strengths.
Not easily tamed, the Dash generates powerful pull with ample bar pressure and more direct feel. Incredibly fast when turning, this kite is built to move. Active kiters that like to keep their kite moving will appreciate the quick steering and dynamic feel.
For those that push the limits, for those that refuse to follow a straight line, for those that appreciate the huge payback from a little challenge, the Dash is dedicated to you.

Fly, Low-wind/Freeride:
Log more days on the water with the fast-turning, lightwind Fly. Lightweight and tremendously fast for a kite of its size, the Fly delivers a smooth, yet powerful ride in light-to-marginal wind conditions. The swept-back wing tip and anti-stiction window improve water relaunch, while the two-strut design offers exceptional low-end power.
Riders will find themselves in super light wind, yet the speed of the kite will make it feel like a normal, windy day. A modified leading edge diameter allows the kite to fly farther forward for improved upwind ability and easy handling.

Ride, Allround freeride:
Effortless and accessible, the Naish Ride is a fast favorite among riders of all levels.
Ideal for those looking to progress their skills quickly, the open center section of this lightweight, two-strut design delivers superior low-end performance and maintains smooth power delivery through turns. Easy water relaunch provides added convenience while a slightly flattened arc generates more lift for easy jumping and “sheet-in-and-go” feel.
A consistent performer with incredible control, its versatility will have both new and experienced kiters choosing the Ride as their “go-to” kite for a wide range of styles.
