As a beginner, it's important to get the right equipment. It should be easy to get started and learn the basic maneuvers like water start, kite control, keeping altitude and sailing back and forth. The equipment should be easy and safe to handle in situations where you get out of control. But it's also important that you get equipment you can grow with and continue to enjoy for many years to come. We have 20 years of experience selling kite equipment for beginners, professional kitesurfers and everything in between. If we had to pick the perfect kite package that you can both start with and continue to develop at any level, there's no doubt. The choice lands on Naish Pivot kite, Naish Torque bar combined with either Naish Hero or Naish Motion board. We've gone the extra mile and have already put together 3 kite packages on our website for you!
Naish Pivot S25 (2021 model)
This kite has a huge range of applications and is recommended for everyone from beginners to international team riders. It is top rated and voted favorite by many riders, magazines and test centers in the categories Freeride, Wave and Big Air.
The Pivot kite is incredibly stable, predictable and easy to control. You don't have to concentrate on looking at the kite, it's always where you expect and turns instantly when you pull the bar. It's designed to be incredibly easy, reliable and user-friendly to launch - especially appreciated as a beginner or when moving further down the learning curve and doing freestyle maneuvers and jumps. The kite has a really good depower, so you can reduce the pull simply by trimming the string on the bar without compromising the kit's flight characteristics, which is often a challenge with many other brands. When you pull the bar towards your body, the power comes naturally and comfortably and it's very easy to control how much power you want in the kite, making it really comfortable to both sail and jump with.
There's plenty of boost if you want to jump high - and it's very easy and predictable to jump (Kevin Langeree has won King of The Air twice in a row with the Pivot kite, so it's definitely proven to jump high).
Naish is known for their superb quality and sublime performance. The Pivot kite is made of the exclusive Quad-Tex fabric, developed in collaboration with Naish by Japanese Teijin, which in addition to being top of the line, is also very light and stiff, which makes the kite fly very stable. The trailing edge is reinforced with Shark Teeth which, in addition to increasing durability and stability, also means that minimal dacron is used in the wingtips, making the kite lighter and really responsive to sail.
"One of the best kites I've ever flown! Turns on a dime, I never had to look at this kite because it was always where I think it should be. Best all-around easy to fly kite." // Kelly Grief, The Kiteboarder
"Who is it for? Kiter's seeking ultimate versatility & high performance characteristics. What's it do? EVERYTHING! Tight pivot-y turns, super easy to jump, extremely forgiving, superior lowend & impressive highwind control." Kitefinder.com
Naish Torque 2 Kitebar (2021 model)
Pivot is flown with the Naish Torque control system bar, which like the kite is made of high-end build-to-last materials with all the features and details expected from a Naish kitebar and many adjustment options. The safety system is among the best in the world and works like a dream, so you can sail with complete confidence. The new "Torque 2" comes with a brand new and unique release system and comes with three different loops to attach to the trapeze, so you can choose whether you want the traditional loop, a smaller loop, or use the slider loop so the bar doesn't suddenly jump off the trapeze hook. The bar is incredibly reliable, lightweight and comfortable to sail and ideal for those who don't want to compromise on safety, comfort or performance. Comes with three loops and leash to attach the safety line to your trapeze.
The board
The package is combined with two different boards, depending on your needs and preferences.
Naish Hero (2021 model)
The Naish Hero kiteboard is aimed at beginners and intermediate kitesurfers who want a forgiving and easy board to ride, but is not a board you outgrow quickly - the soft flex results in a forgiving board with a high degree of control that even many experienced kitesurfers love it for. The board is designed to go maximally upwind (so it's easier to maintain height) and can be ridden effortlessly even in small waves. Whether you're learning to get on the board, keeping height, cruising or jumping and turning, Hero is the perfect all-round board that makes the experience fun and effortless throughout the learning process.
Naish Motion (2021 model)
The Naish Motion kiteboard is aimed at a wide target group - from beginners to experienced kitesurfers who want great freeride performance in all conditions. The board performs in all conditions and can be ridden in flat water, chop and small waves. Motion goes upwind easily, so it's easy to maintain height, even for the less experienced surfer. It cuts through chop effortlessly and is easy to control in jumps and turns. A medium flex makes the board ideal for those who want to jump and develop on the trick side. It's not too aggressive and stiff like a dedicated freestyle board, making it easier to control and learn on. It sails smoothly and provides softer and more comfortable landings after jumps.
Naish Apex Binding (2021 model)
The Naish Apex is designed to give you the ultimate in comfort and performance. Whether you're a beginner, pro freestyler or in between - Apex will be the binding for you. The Apex is made to be adjustable in all directions to fit your feet exactly. It's the small details in the foot strap that make Apex one of the best foot straps on the market. These include EVA foam to protect the foot from hard surfaces, two different shock absorbing cores for the heel, micro-adjustment of the angle of the binding and "grooves" at the toes for extra grip.
Naish Airmax kite pump (2021 model)
The new Airmax pump is made with an aluminum shaft, pressure gauge and leash so you can attach it to the kite while pumping. The valve is optimized for the new SureLock inflation system on the Pivot kite, known from SUPs.
