Naish Ride 2015/16 Kite – 9m²

Naish Ride 2015/16 Kite – 9m²

The Ride is a great kite for everyday kiteboarders looking for ease and simplicity.

The incredibly lightweight, two-strut design provides superior low-end performance due to its fuller center section, creating a drifting effect while maintaining smooth power delivery throughout turning. It also has a slightly flatter arc compared to other kites, which gives it more punch when sheeting-in and provides easy jumping along with that nice sheet-in-and-go feel.

The reduced surface area of the wing tip allows the kite to rotate with minimal drag on the waterresulting in a very easy water relaunch.

In addition, fewer struts allow the Ride to inflate faster and pack smaller, so it can travel practically anywhere and be the first kite to get out on the water.

New for this year are re-oriented struts and seamsallowing for better airflow throughout the kite and improved efficiency.

Technology

Swept Compact C

The swept compact C-shape blends the pop and lift of a C-kite with the power, control, and turning of a swept leading edge kite. In addition, it provides ideal relaunch capabilities.

Anti-stiction Window

The wing tip features a flow-through window, which reduces static friction and allows for easy relaunch by letting water drain instantly.

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.
