Some ideas for Naish designers for 2012..

[Rossall]

One for the Software products really, Naish make some great travel bags but due to the Child like Pirate graphics I wouldn't be seen dead carrying one through the airport, my 10 year old son thinks there pretty cool though as they resemble the Pirates of the Caribbean 4 logo !!!!

Torch.
Love it, only thing is that 5th line system like North`s, it outdated. It`s from 2005!!

Park.
A 4.5/5m and a 7-9-11m. No back-stall unhooked, at all.

Bolt,
Range like the old Cult`s, for those that like that. (New Bolt is a little to powerful for the women/strapless crowd)

Fish.
Why?? Make a real bump and jump strapless board.

Global wave.
Love it. Keep them coming.

Momentum..
Best board in years. Future, make it work without fins! (Concave/rails etc.)

Thorn.
A little lighter. Makes it also better for boards off`s, as well as the free-stylers.

Wakeskate.
LOVE... Right price!

Kites.. Make a dumpvalve at the tip!!
Travelbag. Make on like the golf/travel, that`s made for a surfboard 6.2, and 3 kites.
Throw a t-shirt in every kitebag, and get free advertising.
3 sizes CL.

The bar could use some improvements.

Above the bar depower(not straps)
The stopper ball slides around too easily and throw is too long.
The grip: Mine is already peeling after only a few sessions.
Flag line: If this was geared for novice riders, it's not a very good design. The weight of the leash when connected causes the line to drag down near your feet.

After owning Liquid Force, Slingshot, Naish, North, Epic and trying various others, it's really hard to beat the North bar if I'm being completely honest. Except for maybe the grip(Epic is really comfy)

Very happy with all the Naish kites I've owned and would really like to try the park.

Shouldn't we be getting some leaked images of 2012 kites already???

like teh torch buuuuut on torch

longer chicken loop another 12cm..? - i want to unhook - not mess around depowering kite first and then it not steering too good

bar and lines - lines all the way from bar - all 5 of them but with kite redesign so it does not flare - especially for super high wind riding where i have had some hairy moments of wierd tanglage

bigger stainless piece that depower line goes around - well anything that stops lines and that getting jammed in bar hole when you let go in very high wind.

Yes, once the Boss has approved them, and got his "random" poster to upload them.

I'd like to see a kite that performs and lives up to the hype. The Torch is a great kite and sets standards, we all know this. The others? Well I tried them out and the Bolt was terrible (I really mean terrible), and the Charger was a poor copy of the Bandit. I thought I'd like the Park but it was a let down. Too much hype behind the brand that never lives up to it's own narcissistic BS. Try not BS'ing the riders and stop trying to claim "New groundbreaking designs" like Sigma! It sucks, you know it, we know it. I mean, there's only 1 kite left with it, so it's a great success right? LOFLMAO! 2012, the SIGMAless Year! PLEASE! ! ! !

I bought Nomads, as did many at my local beach. Perhaps Naish can copy this and claim it as a Stand Out Design! HAHA!

I have to say the Sigma design is not a failure. I think it just took a few years to perfect. The 2010 Helix is perfect example of that. C kite feel with depower of SLE. I own 7, 9 and 12. I am not sure why they ended it there and went to bolt.

In my experience I usually wait a few years before buying a certain model kite. Wait till they get it just right.

Also, Momentum is an amazing board.

2011 fish is a so fun even if you don't ride waves that often.
