2008 Kite

 

Naish Helix

Description
The 2008 Naish Helix defines the natural evolution of using technologies to adapt to the large depower range required in modern kites for kiteboarding and kitesurfing. If you are looking for the one kite to work in the widest range of conditions for all styles of riding, look no further than the 2008 Helix. The 2008 Naish Helix emerges as the choice for intermediate through advanced kiters seeking the highest performance ride that excels equally in all areas.
Stability, turning, wind range, jumping, upwind ability, free riding, kitelooping, speed, freestyle, waveriding, easy water relaunch, all benefit from the engineering innovations incorporated into Geo-Tech and Sigma.
The static canopy tension provided by Geo-Tech results in a super clean and defined profile that provides solid response thru the entire depower range, and results in a kite with the widest wind range of any kiteboarding kite on the market. The Sigma outline provides two significant advantages, first it changes the center of effort in the kite such that this point does not change during the depower range, and secondly Sigma allows the kites wingtip to twist in a manner that initiates lightening quick turning.

Slingshot Vision Pro

New to the Vision Pro in 2008 is the new CNC'ed full wood core - this togather with the improved construction techniques means that they flex at the tips and keep stiff in the centre. This obviously keeps the board from sucking the power out of the kite, and makes soft landings easier to re-plane on. The Vision Pro can be ridden by a rider at any level with ease, of course the more advaced kiter can push it harder to deliver the adsolute best results.
