Why Naish is not updating it's website to let us know at least what you are demoing on the other side of the OZ?
Do you have Charger for demo?
Will you please write a review on Charger?
We've been watching the underground photos for months and we still don't know what it is!

Isn't the underground a board designed for riders who use wakeboard boots? That's the impression I got from the limited press.

By underground photos I mean photos which leaked out of their resellers.
Not the underground brand.

Idiot,
unfortunately we are in the process of rebuilding our website, and therefore the old one hasnt been updated for some time.
we are looking at options to get over to the west coast with the kites, but it wont happen for a while. Dan at kite adiction /windsurfing perth will have a set of Naish demo kites very soon though, so could be a good idea to talk to him if you are close to Perth metro. otherwise keep an ear out for our plans for the west coast.
As for the Charger, I still havent ridden one, I will let you know what its like when I finally get one in the air.

to everyone else, im in Mackay now, it looked like there was some breeze about on the drive up today, so hopefully it stays in and we can get a ride tomorrow.
see those of you who can make it then.

Do you have pictures of the boards (other than the Jamie and x-ride which are on the north site)?

Is there still a 138 Sky pro model? or did they phase it out with the 137 Jamie

the Mallory, Cesar and Sky got replaced for the Team series. 4 sizes in them. 128cm,131cm,133cm,135cm

The Jaime comes in a big size which replaces the Sky.

North got some very sharp and different looking fins. another very innovative feature on the boards coming from Tarifa.
Pads are pretty much the same as last year just white this year. You got inlay pads for your heelside. Soft, medium and hard pads come with boards. changing them takes 30secs.

The Straps are a bit wider than 09s. Overall a very comfi feel.

Different colours on edge for different sizes throughout the line.

Board feels very smooth light and responsive.

I tried the 2010 9m vegas at palla for an hour in 15-16 knots, I weigh 47 kilos and thought it was pretty good I had just enough power. The main kite Ive been riding is a switchblade 3 8m and compared to that it was alot faster and had about the same bar pressue, I couldnt say about the relaunch but overall I like it better than the SB3

Thanks to Marv and Luke for the photos. and to all the shops who have put on the demos so far, its been a great tour. We have been having some good winds so far, fingers crossed they continue...
I wont write too much on the kites as it will be pretty clear to everyone that I have a slight bias, however finding all the 2010 gear really impressive, especially the Naish Cult 9m and the the North team 135, a combo that got even me planing in 13-16kn at Mackay!!! and is so much fun to ride, the light bar pressure that can be achieved on the cult and its ultraquick turning speed make for a really fun kite.
I have also been spending a bit of time on the Rebel 12m which has LOTS of bottom end this year, coupled with all the good of last years Rebel and with the added stability of five struts again this year.

I (and the demo gear) will be on the sunshine coast for the next few days:
wed: Agnes waters/1770
thur or fri: Noosa
sat: Caloundra
before heading to Brisbane for Sunday.
once again contact your closest North/Naish dealer for exact locations and times to get a chance to fly/ride the new gear.
hope to see you then.

Danza and idiot,
sorry for the delayed response... been too busy riding and driving, we are working to get Helix and Charger demo kites here ASAP, stay tuned for more details on that front. Helix will be available from mid September. pretty interesting new take on the sigma outline to offer even more punchy "C like" feeling with the added benefits of the sigma shape and SLE ease of use.

all,
due to the wind on the sunshine coast being very uncooperative the Caloundra "demo" will be held at Sunshine coast sailboards/Kite Action from 12 tomorrow (saturday).
We will still pump all the small kites and all the boards will be on display so come down and have a look, if the wind gods take pity we might even be able to shift to get a ride, but we will meet at the shop at 12 either way.



And the rumors are true, I have recieved the brand new Helix and charger demo kites, still need to fly both in anger before I can review either however the helix looks better even than I remmbered and the Charger looks like an interisting project for Naish... come and have a look.

Sunday at Brighton ??? Coolio.

I'll bring my 09 Helix's for direct comparison (9 and 12) and hopefully some actual riding - forecast is looking good !!!

However 09-10 is new board for me...

See you there...
