Naish Shockwave (2006)

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
The Shockwave is a unique new kite design that will bring kite wave riding to a whole new level. The kite can depower no matter where it is in the wind window. Now you can position yourself on a wave, where you want, when you want and how you want. Upwind sailing efficiency and basic jumps have been redefined. Popping over whitewater has never been easier. The Shockwave is the most dynamic surf kite made to date.

WHAT’S NEW IN DESIGN
The Shockwave is an “SLE kite“ (Supported Leading Edge). This design allows the kite to have more projected area and greater range of adjustment in the angle of attack. The Shockwave employs a simple four line system. The new control bar has a double purchase system which allows for a greater range of adjustment. The Shockwave stays rock solid in the air without jelly fishing or collapsing.

WHAT’S NEW IN CONSTRUCTION
The Shockwave comes with Dyneema brial lines from Cousin Ultimate® that are pre-stretched under temperature. High quality pulleys from Ronstan are used in the bridle and control bar system. Thermoformed bumpers adds to the kites durablity. The Shockwave is made with industry leading materials and built with Naish quality.
