The Naish Cult returns as the world’s number one user friendly all-terrain kite. The new simplified bridles provide direct and light bar feel, and the degree of Naish Sigma angle has been increased to improve turning characteristics and linear bar feel.
The Naish Cult is designed for beginner through to advanced riders seeking a stable, easy-handling kite. The Naish Cult now boasts an even larger sweet spot, ideal pull through the turns, and enhanced smoothness.
Beginners will enjoy the smooth and responsive steering, light bar pressure, and depower capability. Advanced riders will appreciate the balanced feel hooked-in or unhooked. The easy re-launch will help beginner to advanced rider get back up and going in a moment.
Naish’s new Sigma design concepts and Geo-Tech construction define the natural evolution of using new technologies to adapt to the ever-changing performance requirements of modern kites.
Visually striking while providing amazing canopy tension, these kites have unmatched stability and wind range, precise handling, light and linear bar pressure, and unbelievably easy water re-launch capabilities. One glimpse, one ride, and you will never look at Kiteboarding the same again.
The Naish Cult uses two new patented design features: Sigma Outline and Geotech. Both increase performance at different levels, and their combination creates an amazing step forward in kite performance.
Naish Sigma Outline:
The Naish Sigma shape improves the kite performance at every level. The Sigma Outline is an advanced engineering design that increases the efficiency of our kites.
The Naish Sigma Outline is a radically re-shaped leading edge that moves a large portion of the centre canopy behind the tow point. The result is a perfectly balanced kite that delivers significant performance improvements in the areas of overall stability, bar pressure and feel, turning, and relaunch.
The performance of Sigma Outline kites combined with the Geo-Tech design is far superior to any bow concept in that the keeps the kite more stable than any bow, there is no inversion with Sigma Series kites, and they have a wider wind range due to more efficient profiles.
Overall, the Sigma design produces a balanced, linear power band combined with bar pressure that remains light but steady through a wide range of trim angles, creating a nearly perfect feedback loop between rider and kite.
Naish Sigma Relaunch:
When Naish Sigma kites are on the water with the leading edge facing down the reduced area of contact compared to a conventional bow kites allows the kite to be almost instantly re-launched.
During water relaunch the kite pivots on either shoulder point. The rapid recovery gives the rider confidence to try new moves with out the worry of losing time and ground.
The Naish Sigma kites offer the easiest relaunch in kiteboarding history.
Geo-Tech Design:
The principle of the Geotech design is to keep the tension of the canopy in between the struts on the leading edge side of the kite. Geo-Tech is extremely simple, as it requires fewer seams.
The Geo-Tech concept provides constant tension in the kites canopy by incorporating straight line segments in the leading edge. With the constant canopy tension, the overall foil profile is perfectly controlled and defined, which allows the kite to remain extremely stable through the entire range of depower and considerably increases the wind range.
