Took the new NAISH Draft for a run today.
Wind was 15 – 30knt and I got to try both the 9m and the 12m.

Construction, bar and bag are essentially the same as the Park.
Whats new? Dacron areas have some cool little graphic features. Draft runs no pulleys on the bridle.

In Flight-

• Certainly a bit more powerful than I expected and the kite is eager to bring the power on once you have a little board speed.
• Accelerates nicely and continues to bring on the power at the edge of the window even when driving upwind. Upwind ability is excellent and as good as any race kite judging by this twin-tip session.
• Turning- This is where I expected this kite to let me down but it wasn’t bad at all. The 9m was great and looped nicely. The 12m was a bit slower but by no means the slouch I expected it to be and didn’t hinder the send-ability of the kite when loading to jump.
• Jumping- Timing and feedback from the kite when sending it up were excellent and all riders today seemed to dial into the canopy quickly for jumps. Landings took some more practise though as the hang time and double lofts tend to keep you up there. As you spot your landing you need to remember you actually have quite a bit of time left before you come down!
  Does it jump big?? You bet it does!!! This kite is made for a purpose and it achieves this superbly. It goes big and the hangtime is phenomenal!
• Re-Launch- I put it in the drink to test the re-launch. It came up no problems just taking an extra second over a medium aspect kite. The LE is curved enough to counter the aspect ratio.
