Tech Focus - Naish Motion Twin Tip

For S25, Naish has released the latest version of the Motion twintip, a progression-friendly freeride board. Get the scoop in this Tech Focus!

The Naish Motion has been a popular board in the lineup for a long time! What has changed in the S25 Motion?

The Motion has a new deck shape, designed to make the board a bit stiffer in the middle and softer on the tips. This gives the board more performance potential. The board retains the same bottom shape, outline, and rocker to keep its all-around performance. The board also has 5cm fins now to give it more bite and upwind performance.

What style of riders should seriously consider the Naish Motion?

The Motion has a super broad appeal because it is such a friendly, easy, smooth board to ride. The surprise this year is how much the extreme big air guys are loving it. When the water and wind conditions are very rough, the riders love the easy ride.

Is this a good board for beginners that are aiming to progress in kiteboarding? Why?

Yes, the main design goal of this board is that it is friendly and easy to ride. This was achieved through the top and bottom shaping, rocker, outline, and flex. This makes it the ideal board for beginners looking to progress their riding.

A bit more about the S25 Motion from Naish: A freeride rocker, medium flex, and slightly aggressive outline make the Motion a favourite for a wide variety of riders. It is the perfect balance when you are learning to control your speed and dial in your edging. The Motion delivers a smooth ride in all water conditions and is easy and forgiving. The deck was redesigned for this season to give a more consistent, responsive, and predictable flex throughout the length of the board. The versatility of the design is appreciated by top riders, like Ross-Dillon Player, who are using this board to push the limits of big air in the roughest conditions. With centred inserts, riders can easily transition between rails—dramatically extending the life of the board. Further enhancing this popular design, the flex tips make the ride smoother and landings softer.
