Faster than all the kites recommended so far, and has a fair bit of a hooligan nature in it which the edge and pivot most certainly do not have. Dash boosts brilliantly, decent hang time and loops very well, the weakn...

so there appears to be a new Naish Torch coming soon... that Dash looks stunning with the old Naish skull & cross bones logo

Christophe Tack now riding the Naish Torch. He is one of the most stylish freestyle riders out there... huge amount of pop and slack in the 2020 Torch by the look of the video.
