Looks like the 2nd year. I think mine was the first year 2005? If I remember correctly it had less black on it. This or the BFK (I can't remember which I got last) were the last Best kites I got. I got severe buyers remorse after trying the Boxer SLE. Counter to what people here are saying I do not ...

I would contact the naish dealer you got the gear from. Well I guess its a bit late since you already started grinding, but I would expect it to be interchangeable. If not there must be a cheap 2018 mast floating about in stores or on the naish website?

yeah but if a valve is loose it doesn't let all the air out in seconds, takes at least 1 or 2 minutes. If it all comes out in 30 seconds it's usually a plug coming loose. I still think it's really weird and might be something nobody has thought of yet. I would try to reproduce it. It could also be ...

Its pretty easy. You have a valve that is not attached right. Probably needs to be reglued. Once you pump up the kite, and there is built up air pressure on the valve attachment and the dacron and kite stays inflated, and when you move it around, it gradually lose pressure, and the more pressure you...

is anyone doing a DIY or modular kit?

I think Dirk is correct that the lines are adjusted wrong.

No more octopus system on the new Naish ! !
Gonna be more appealing now

Haha funny man

Pivots. In 7 and 5 I will stay with the Slash and keep my current models as they have not been used that much. In 14 I have the current Boxer, which I also really like. ANd you think you'll have it in July? That would change my plans around. I just put an 11 Boxer and 9 slash on order. I thought th...

2020 11m/8m are ordered. Should be here by mid July

Woah.Slashes? Or Boxer?

I thought Naish would do a Kevin Langeree, or KOA special edition Pivot. That would be cool. Make is black with the Naish skull.:cool2: :o I am salivating. The helix they did way back was the coolest kite ever. This one, maybe all black with a flaming skull in silver. Lol. Oh man I want that kite...
