Naish Boards 2010 + GRAV D

2010 Sol - Transforms Choppy Water into Smooth Fun

Overview
The first question is always, “What’s up with the snowboard outline on a kiteboard?” The answer is simple. What makes round tips the right shape on a snowboard is the same reason its right for a kiteboard. At the nose, the round tip allows for the cleanest water entry possible without catching, tripping or splashing. At the tail, the round tip focuses the board’s power down the centerline, where it is easier to control than at the edge.

The Sol’s round outline, which is great for control especially at higher speeds, is combined with an efficient rocker to promote planning in lighter winds.

Unlike other designs, where riders may need to adjust their position to find the board’s balance, the Sol’s entire board is a sweet-spot. There is no tricky balance required, and no hick-ups. Just smooth edging, through even the worst chop. The Sol is where snowboarding meets wakeboarding.

HP-2 LAMINATES
HP-2 is an asymmetrical lamination matrix with a lighter layout on the deck and higher-tension composites on bottom, to combine outstanding control with efficient planning.



BALANCED FLEX
In combination with the Sol’s round outline and low rocker line, the Balanced Flex blends a degree of energy retention for efficient power, with a degree of energy dispersion for ease and control.

ALL-TERRAIN PERFORMANCE
Absolute versatility for every water condition you will encounter: from ideally smooth to radically choppy, and from flat water to waves. All-Terrain Performance assures that the Sol will meet the demands of every environment.



2010 Haze - Balanced Versatility

Overview
The Haze delivers reliable performance for all rider levels in all conditions. For beginners and advanced freeriders alike, easy is good. The Haze gives you the reliability to take your kiteboarding anywhere you want to go.

Outline, rocker and flex have all been engineered to provide power when needed, and control at a moments notice. The outline is blend of the Thorn (80%) and the Sol (20%). The Haze shares the same low rocker as the Thorn for efficient planning, and incorporates a unique flex for the ultimate in control.

The Haze utilizes the same premium materials and construction technology that makes all Naish kiteboards the industry’s finest. Combined with the latest revolution in component performance, the Haze is an unbeatable package.

ENHANCED ACTIVE FLEX
Our softest-tension flex, Active Flex, was enhanced with a revised core thickness taper at the tips for a more positive response performance. Power, efficiency, upwind drive, and tracking were improved while still retaining easy control.

FREERIDE PERFORMANCE
Unlike Pro Performance boards, which are high-tuned with aggressive shaping and flex for advanced freestyle riders, Freeride Performance boards are tuned-down for easier control and rider versatility.
