Naish Draft 2015/16 Kite – 14m²

Naish Draft 2015/16 Kite – 14m²

The Draft is a high-performance, freeride kite that generates powerful lift for boosting big airs and long, gliding jumps.

It features a state-of-the-art airfoil design that excels at hooked-in riding, upwind performance and competitive speed. The Drafts reduced leading edge taper adds rigidity to the wing tipplacing the axis of rotation close to the center of the kite resulting in sharp turning and precise bar feel.

The five struts on the 7, 9, 10.5, and 12 sizes optimize performance and increase control in strong winds, while the three struts on the 14 and 17 sizes are ideal for light wind performance, smooth power delivery, and faster turning.

This year, the wing tip shape has been changed in order to provide a more direct bar feel and quicker turning. And the bridles have been refined to provide faster turning, more aggressive jumps and bigger airs.

Technology

Swept Open C

The swept open C-shape maximizes the lift of the C-kite airframe. Its open arc delivers more power on demand than other kites of the same size and provides unmatched upwind performance. The swept profile balances the kite for better turning.

Radial Load Distribution

All wing tips are designed with seams running parallel to the load generated by the flying lines. These seams carry most of the load and spread it higher into the canopy. This design helps prevent fatigue on the fabric and in the wing tip area.

Octopus Inflation System

This proven, quick, and easy single-point inflation system creates uniform pressure in the struts and leading edge. Naishs exclusive one-way internal valve ensures that the pressure within the struts does not change during turns.

Low Drag Wing Tip

This wing tip geometry decreases the overall surface area of the non-lifting portion, greatly reducing drag. The more efficient the lift/drag ratio becomes, the faster the wing tip can move through the air. This allows the kite to be both quicker and more responsive through turns.

Radial Segmented Arc

The radial segmented shape uses short linear segments to a ccurately form the kites arc.

Evolutive Profile

The profiles depth and shape evolves along the airfoil, helping create a fast flying, stable kite with less back stalling. The center sections generate power thanks to a deeper profile, while the flatter profile in the tips minimizes drag and allows faster turning.

Power Foil Canopy

The power foil canopy has horizontal seam shaping. The result is a kite that creates instant lift.

Lightweight Solid Frame Construction

Every strut is attached to an optimized, lightweight frame consisting of heavy-duty dacron that is then sewn onto the canopy for unmatched resistance to wear and heavy loads.

Kite Construction

EASY ACCESS ZIPPER PLACEMENT

Extremely easy access to the internal valve when replacing bladders.

INFLATION PRESSURE GAUGE

All Naish pumps include a built-in inflation pressure gauge. This provides optimum bladder pressure to maximize the kites performance.

VERTICAL SEAM STRUTS

A reduction in the number of pieces used in the struts means more precision in defining the canopy profile. The seams are also reinforced with an extra layer of webbing, and double zigzag stitches to avoid breakage.

ONE-WAY INFLATION VALVES

All LE inflation valves incorporate a ball system to eliminate air escape when removing the pump nozzle.

REINFORCED STRUT ZIPPERS

A double-Velcro flat enclosure ensures that the zipper will not fail under load.

DEFLATE VALVE DOUBLE VELCRO CLOSURE

The deflate valve has a double-Velcro closure design to ensure closure during impact.

2-PIECE LEADING EDGE

This construction provides better twist control of the leading edge, and improves turning performance.

CANOPY STABILIZER

Trailing edge reinforcement for reduced flutter and canopy sheer/wear.

ARAMID PATCHES

Patches along LE segments to protect the seams.

MOLDED BUMPERS

Large thermo-molded bumpers wrap around the leading edge, which provide seam protection when landing and launching the kite.

MOLDED TE REINFORCEMENT

Optimal trailing edge protection with a molded reinforcement at the end of each strut.

HIGH FLOW VALVE

One way valve for reduced frictional force, easy inflation and immediate deflation.
