Today had a chance to fly 2018 naish dash 12m. Conditions were not great, really light wind 4-6m/s maybe, ice and few cm snow on some places.. so could not edge and did not have much power in the kite, so I could not try any freestyle or jumping with it.. But what I can tell you about this first test..

The shape is very similar to Park, but Park HD was higher aspect a bit as I remember.. Turned fast for 12m in light winds. Backline connection was in the center position and barfeel was very accurate (same as Park HD was , if I remember correctly, but a bit harder compared to 2017 Pivot), so if you put outside position, the kite turns faster and barpressure is even lighter. Even in those light wind conditions kiteloop created some pull downwind, so I think it is similar to Park HD, Pivot has less pull in the loops. But this I know exactly when I try side by side these kites. Tried relaunching, pulling back line relaunch worked nicely, reverse relaunching worked nicely, did not test laying on its back c kite type relaunching with snowboard, but this works also 100% I presume. Quality is just fantastic as always from Naish. Did not notice any canopy fluttering in turning or in looping. And did not notice any backstalling issues also, when there was more wind. Backstalling happened only few times, when wind totally dropped. I try it again next time, when there is more wind. Hopefully I get better conditions to do proper jumping and we will see it tends to backstall during jumps or not.But so far looks great. If you visit Pärnu Surf Center, Estonia (https://parnu.surf), come and try it :-).

I've only ridden a Park and a Pivot, and the Pivot rules.

Small review of Naish Dash 12m in light wind. Soon I try to make more detailed review, when conditions are better for riding.
