We’ve been waiting for this one; Naish Kiteboarding’s 2023 Boxer has arrived! Find out more in this tech talk by Ewan Jaspan.

Naish’s premier one-strut kite is constructed to be lightweight, ultra-durable, and responsive. This year, the smaller sizes have increased turning speed and are mainly focused on foiling. These kites now sit deeper in the window, giving you a more solid feel while foiling. The panel count is also optimised by size, meaning all kites in the range have a similar feel due to the larger sizes having more panels and the smaller sizes having fewer. This brings the ultimate balance of structure and weight per size.

The Dacron layout has also been redesigned to keep weight down. Along with their new lightweight/streamlined TLS 500 bridle lines, the Boxer now flies better than ever in light air.

The huge size range from 2.8-16 m means the Boxer has the largest range in the Naish lineup, with the bigger sizes being great light wind twin tip options, the middle sizes being great for all-around light wind riding (surfboard, foil, twin tip) and the smaller sizes excelling at kite foiling. With the new “Swift Tips”, the wingtip construction is 30% stronger and lighter.

All these new features allow the Boxer to shine light wind and down-the-line wave riding, drifting better than almost anything due to its lightweight single-luff strut design. If you are looking for the perfect kite to enjoy regular/marginal winds, or take your foiling to the next level, enjoy the most efficient kite in the lineup, the Boxer.
