Naish Kiteboarding Power Foil Canopy:
The Naish Power Foil Canopy has horizontal seam shaping instead of vertical, which makes the canopy looser than with the Geo-Tech construction resulting in a kite that creates more instant lift.

Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
Low Drag Wing Tip:
This wing tip geometry reduces the overall surface of the non-lifting portion and greatly reduces drag. The more efficient the lift / drag ratio
becomes, the faster the wing tip can move through the air, which allows the kite to be both quicker and more responsive through turns.
Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
Direct Response Steering:
The angle of attack on the wing tips have been increased to keep them more actively engaged. When bar input is added, the wingtip instantly reacts and produces drag, while the opposite wing tip instantly accelerates, which creates quicker turning. Relaunch is also optimized as the lines hang to the inside of the kite and have less chance of becoming wrapped around the wing tip.


Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
Radial Segmented C-Shape:
Radial Segment C-Shape generates the C-arc using short linear segments to accurately form the kite's arc.


Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite

Naish Shift System Platform:
The Shift System has the fifth line locked in one direction at the split of the front line, so that it can only be pulled from the rider's side which depowers the kite instantly.

 

It also supports the arc, allowing the Naish Torch to have a small Leading Edge diameter for superior performance.

Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
Octopus Inflation System:
Proven, quick and easy singly point inflation system creating uniform pressure in the struts. The Naish exclusive one-way internal valve ensures that the pressure in the struts does not change during turns.


Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
Naish Kiteboarding Quality Construction:
From bladders to stitching, every Naish kite has been meticulously checked to pass the highest quality control in the industry. Every detail is checked over before the kite leaves the factory to produce a product you can trust.


Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
Molded Trailing Edge Reinforcement:
Optimal trailing edge protection with a molded reinforcement at the end of each strut.

Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite

Aramid Patches:
Patches along leading edge segments to protect the seams.

Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
Molded Bumpers:
Large thermo-molded bumpers which wrap further around the leading edge to improve seam protection when landing and launching the kite.
Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
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 zig-zag stitches to avoid breakage.
Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
New Dacron Trailing Edge:
All Naish kites have a 100% Dacron trailing edge for enhanced durability.

Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
Load Spread Wing Tip Construction:
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 construction avoids fatigue on the fabric and in the wing tip area, without adding weight.
Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite
2-Piece Leading Edge:
This construction provides better twist control of the leading edge and improves turning performance.

Description

The Naish Torch 2013 delivers the smooth power and aggressive turning that performance C-kite rider’s demand. The new Torch 2013 flies quickly through the air and will depower easily with a quick check of the board edge. Power is delivered smoothly, with depower similar to a bridled kite by virtue of the kite’s ability to fly fast. Whether you are hooked in or unhooked, riding is effortless and precise. The position of the kite’s struts makes it stiffer in the air, for even more precise handling.

 

C-kites continue to dominate the PKRA tour. Rugged, predictable and reliable, no other C-Kite handles as good as the Naish Torch, which is why more top riders choose it over any other C-kite on the market. The Torch is equally at home winning heats on the world stage, as it is ripping up your home beach. The 2013 Torch features refinements to all elements of the package: new bar, reinforcements, strut positions and a shorter arc.

 

Whether your goal is to win competitions, or just take your freestyle riding to the next level, the Naish Torch 2013 is your answer. Super smooth, easy handling, hooked-in, unhooked, impressive depower, and fantastic re-launch...

 

These characteristics allow riders of all levels to take advantage of the Naish Torch’s unsurpassed performance.

 

One glimpse, one ride, and you will never look at Freestyle Kiteboarding the same again.

 

The Naish Torch 2013 uses patented design features including Power Foil Canopy. This increase performance at different levels and creates an amazing step forward in kite performance.

 

With the 2013 Torch, you get a kite that has a crisper feel in the bar and is more responsive to bar input. This makes overpowered riding smoother. The turns are also better, as the kite shoots back up faster in the kite loop, providing extra pull to land without making a hole in the ocean.


With the Naish Torch 2013, you will get a more aggressive and more power throughout the turns than ever before!

 

C-Shape:

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.

 

Evolutive Profile:

The profile's depth and shape evolves along the airfoil. The center sections generate power and speed. The tips are fast turning and minimize drag. This creates a fast flying, stable kite with less back stalling.

 

Radial Segmented C-Shape:
Radial Segment C-Shape generates the C-arc using short linear segments to accurately form the kite's arc.

 

Direct Response Steering:
The angle-of-attack on the wing tips has been increased to keep them more actively engaged. When bar input is added, the wing tip instantly reacts and produces drag, while the opposite wing tip instantly accelerates. This allows the kite to turn quicker.

 

Octopus Inflation System:
Proven, quick and easy singly point inflation system creating uniform pressure in the struts. The Naish exclusive one-way internal valve ensures that the pressure in the struts does not change during turns.

 

Solid Frame Construction:
Every strut is attached to a frame of heavy duty Dacron that is then sewn onto the canopy for unmatched resistance to wear and heavy loads.

 

Radial Load Distribution:
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 construction avoids fatigue on the fabric and in the wing tip area.

 

Shift System :
The Shift System 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.

 

Naish Torch C-Kite Water Relaunch >
Rider's input on the shift line and back line makes the kite roll on it's side to launch.

 

Naish Torch 2013 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite

 

Naish Torch 2013 Depower >
The Naish Torch 2013 is a kite that depowers by flying to the edge of the window. Compared to other kites, the Torch’s foil profile is thinner, and its Leading Edge diameter is smaller.


These two characteristics allow the kite to fly further forward in the window, and get there fast. This gives it the ability to depower quickly.

 

Naish Kiteboarding Power Foil Canopy:
The Naish Power Foil Canopy has horizontal seam shaping instead of vertical, which makes the canopy looser than with the Geo-Tech construction resulting in a kite that creates more instant lift.

Naish Shift Control Bar System

 

Naish Torch 2011 Water Relaunchable Kiteboarding Kite

Riders of all levels, from pros to newcomers, will all gain substantial advantages from the new Naish Shift Control System.

 

The Naish Shift System returns with industry leading performance, simplicity and seamless functionality. The Naish Shift System remains the most effective way to control the leading edge arc of the Naish Torch while providing the easiest light wind relaunch.

 

Designed specifically for the Naish Torch, the Naish Shift System remains the best 5th Line System on the market. The 13m front line Y distance provides the perfect support to the leading edge of the Torch, as well as most other Performance C-Kites on the market, to give you uncompromising performance. The 5th Line also serves to further support the leading edge profile, while providing a proven safety system to allow you to concentrate on taking your freestyle and free-riding to the next level.

 

The Naish Shift Control Bar comes standard with the Smart Loop, auto-orienting sheeting loop, and optional sliding stopper.

 

The result is a simple and functional control system that provides the rider with greater confidence in its functionality in all situations.

 

With a greatly improved “through the bar” front line leash system, and new larger floaters, the 2013 Shift Control System is more streamlined and functional than ever before.

 

All kite sizes can be flown with the same bar.

  • Smart Loop Release and Depower System
  • Auto Orientation Depower Loop
  • New Improved "Through the Bar" Front Line leash system
  • New Wide Leash
  • Internal Back Line Trimming

Naish Smart Loop Technology:

Naish's patented push away system is quickly becoming an industry standard and the Naish Smart Loop is the standard by which all push away systems are measured.

 

The 45mm handle on the Naish Smart Loop allows easy and efficient release in all situations. The system is the only one on the market that integrates a simple "below the bar" trim system that is easy to reach and operate.

 

The open design of the handle and internal teeth allows water to flush through and maintain a smooth reliable release in all conditions.

 

All of the features on the Naish Smart Loop allow the ride to focus on the kiting experience rather than worrying about an overly complicated release system.

Release Handle: Compact 45mm Release Handle can be pushed away with minimum effort to release the kite to safety.
