RED/ORANGE/GREY Our goal with the Wing-Surfer was to pinpoint where performance meets simplicity. The Naish One Point Inflation System allows for quick inflation while integrated ergonomic handles along the center strut provides comfortable and easy handling. At 4 m2, the Wing-Surfer is just the right size to do it all—providing enough power and speed for light wind cruising on a stand up paddleboard or enough power and lift for a foil board to get up and glide in as little as 12 knots of wind. The dihedral swept wing design is perfectly balanced, lightweight, extremely stable and easy to handle. Integrated velcro straps on the handles allow for quick attachment of your SUP paddle for added mobility in case the wind dies. The Wing-Surfer deflates in seconds and packs up into the provided backpack for incredibly easy transport and travel. TEAL/ORANGE/GREY KB 2020 | 37
KITES Naish offers a complete kite range with something for everyone. While the Pivot has established itself as the best high-end all- around kite in the world with two Red Bull King of the Air titles to it, the Triad is the perfect step down in performance with a more forgiving and easy control. For surf purists, the Slash has unbeatable down-the-line drift in all wind angles. For freestyle specialists the Torch and Dash are the go to of some of the best freestyle kiters in the world. For lightwind and foiling, the Boxer brings next level performance. KB 2020 | 39

FEATURES Single Luff Strut High-flow Valve Quad-Tex Ripstop Fabric Bladder Lock Shark Teeth Trailing Edge HT Plus RECOMMENDED CONTROL SYSTEMS Torque ATB 55 & Torque BTB 55 Boxer Bag Airmax Pump (Sold Separately) TEAL/GREEN PRODUCT DESCRIPTION With its light pull, light weight and light input, the Boxer is the ultimate kite for underpowered riding and foiling. The single luff strut and Quad-Tex construction create a lightweight framework that stays in the air easily— even in super light wind. This eliminates any struggle to keep the kite up, so you can keep your focus on foiling. When sheeting out, it quickly offers a lot of depower in a shorter throw. This keeps the kite from pulling too much and feels as if it almost disappears. Its lightweight load pulls more through the bar than through the harness, for more direct steering. Additionally, because it’s so responsive to lighter inputs, lighter riders and foilers can easily make micro-adjustments without being thrown off-balance. This year we worked on making the kite even lighter. Each size has saved up to 280 g, making the Boxer the lightest kite on the market. All these precious grams saved translate to weight the wind does not need to carry anymore and creates a more efficient kite for your session. TEAL/ORANGE Available in sizes as small as 3.5 meters, the Boxer is built for foiling. It’s such a great all-around performer that larger sizes do really well during lightwind twin tip riding too! If you’re foiling, riding underpowered, or have lighter input, the Boxer will let you push the boundaries of light wind. KB KB 2020 2020 || 53
