Hi all,
Just got my Naish torch 2010 11m, the pump did
come not with out a pressure gauge. Rang the Distributer and he said the 2010 range come with out gauge is this correct.

Also does anyone know what pressure to pump up a torch?

The kite also come with 24m line standard but I thought Naish was putting extension lines (3m) to make the lines 27M?

I had 2008 Helix and 2009 Cult, non of them had pressure gauge on the pump.
As for the line extension, I think you are the first person here who got a 2010 Torch so probably you should wait for another two weeks till you know!

hi, i have just recieved my 2010 stuff from naish, and the pumps dont have pressure gauges, and im pretty sure they arent supposed to have them. as for the line extensions, iv heard nothing about the line extensions, apart from on the 14+m kites. the helix comes with 4m line extension, and 20m lines as standard.

Naish Pumps have never had pressure gauges for as long as I have been using them... 4 years or so.

You will probably break yourself before you break the bladders!

27m lines is very long!. I would have thought 24m is heaps.
Pressure gauges never work accuratly for long. Its better to learn how the kite should feel when pumped up without one.Flick the leading egde, if it makes a kind of ping noise, its pumped up right.

Pump Pressure Gauge = Windmeter = No Use in the Real World
Use the Force !!!
Mmmm, feel the pressure, see the pressure !!!
But beware of the limp side you must !!!

Flick the leading edge of the kite, when you have pumped it enough it makes a nice 'bing' noise . Works for me, i'd say the perfect amount is a c#

The gauge is useless anyway. Just pump it hard.
