Naish Kiteboarding 2023 Triad has arrived with some big upgrades this year! The kite is not only perfect for taking your twin tip riding up a level, but it now excels in all types of surf riding. The wingtip shape has been redesigned to increase drift and down-the-line performance. The kite has been swept back to increase the turning speed and lighten the bar pressure.
With a lower aspect ratio, the Triad is faster and lighter, making it perfect for navigating tricky sections in the waves, but it maintains its predictable flying characteristics, promoting progression in all disciplines. The Triad maintains its sheet-in-and-go performance due to its luff strut and fairly deep draft, making it an easy kite to progress from beginner to higher-level riding.
They have redesigned the dacron structure of the kite to strategically place reinforcements only where needed, increasing strength and decreasing overall weight. This multifaceted kite merges ease of use, surf performance, and light responsive bar feel into one intuitive package.
Features
- NEW – Swift Tips: The new wingtip construction is 30% stronger than previous versions while being lighter and using less dacron. The canopy now extends all the way to the Leading Edge, giving the kite a more streamlined look and performance benefits such as more direct turning.
- Quad-Tex Ripstop Fabric: The Quad-Tex Ripstop fabric is the strongest and stiffest canopy on the market. Quad-Tex withstands punishing conditions while maintaining high-performance characteristics over the long term.
- Molded Strut Ends: The moulded strut ends provide additional reinforcements to protect the struts from natural wear and tear.
- Aramid Patches: Provides protection and reinforcement to the seams on the leading edge.
- One Point Inflation System: Provides quick and easy inflation and deflation of the kite.
- Luff Strut: Adaptable framework made with a fill panel provides low-end power and downwind drift.
- Trailing-Edge Flutter Dispersion: The trailing edge has a 2-ply QuadTex construction with flutter dispersing triangles, gives a tighter canopy and enhanced durability.
- Progressive Profile: Evolving the profile along the wingspan allows the centre sections of the kite to generate power while the flatter tips minimize drag and allow for faster turning.
- Diagonal Load Seam: Distributes kite tension for a more powerful and well-balanced kite and enhances steering feedback.
- Thermoformed Bumpers: Protect your kite from wear and tear when launching and landing.
- HT Plus Seam: Our high-tenacity thread strengthens the leading edge along the seam, allowing you to confidently inflate your kite to a higher pressure for better flying performance.
