"doona" is just an accepted term for a brand of continental quilt, (a bit like the hoover is actually a vacuume cleaner.)
but i agree they are more like quilts than mattresses.
.......why the F&^k am i talking about doonas. How cool is this new Naish kite. I can't wait for the second generation helix.

Looks cool- would be interesting to see how they have constructed the leading edge as the bends would possibly create stress points.

Must be alot nervous kite companies out there.

I suspect you're right, I think there are probably a lot of nervous companies and if it doesn't work, I think Naish is pretty much dead in the water, but for a company to take that much of a chance on the kites (4 models following this new design including a replacement of the raven) they must think its the way to go. The last time someone did that was Cabrinha with the first bow release.

Why so stroppy? The post clearly says "Here is more news from kiteforum". I'm hardly pretending they are my own. If you want to know why this forum turns nasty all the time its because of comments like these. [}:)]
Where I haven't specified where the information is from (i.e. kiteforum), it has come from a Naish guy I know who is currently in Maui.
Best went out on a limb with 1 kite, not their entire range - slight difference. Naish has gone out on a limb with their entire range bar one kite. Researched? Hardly, its called opinion, but having most of your range fail is likely to have a massive impact, ask wipika. Do you know runs Cabrinha? It was well know that Cabrinha took a risk with the bow concept and had it failed it would have created massive financial problems for them. In the competitive kite market, a mistake like this can result in the closure of a company. My comments were merely that I don't see a company like Naish taking a massive risk like this unless they had confidence in the product.

Naish pretty much dead in the water if this fails??? Yeah good comment, well researched, what like Best after they went out on a limb with the Hellfish, it failed everyone said they would go into liquidation, then they come out bigger and better than ever with the Waroo, do you know who runs Naish and their history.
