Used Naish Ride 10m Kite only, some professional color matched repairs on canopy, and some tiny patches that do not affect performance, see photos.
This is a great all round kite for all ride levels, or as an upgrade from an older models.
The Ride was derived from the base origins of the Park, but with more focus on a ‘sheet in and go" feel and easy water relaunch. The rounded wing tips allow the kite to better rotate with less drag while resting on the water, which makes relaunching extremely easy. The two-strut design allows for a lighter weight kite with a fuller center section.
This design, coupled with a slightly flatter arc (compared to the Park), gives the Ride more punch when sheeting in and provides that nice sheet-in-and-go feel. These characteristics translate into very easy jumping, where the rider can simply sheet in and jump on demand, without having to over-think their kite positioning.
The Naish Ride is an excellent choice for riders looking for ease and simplicity.
Naish came out swinging with the first Ride and have added a couple of
nice improvements in stability to make the second edition of the Ride
another winner in their lineup.
Naish Ride Tech Specs:
• Lightweight, two-strut design
• Effortless water relaunch characteristics
• Sheet-in and go feel and easy jumping
• Superior low-end performance
What we like:
The Naish Ride has only 2 struts and this means that there is a large
area in the centre of the kite to provide solid and reliable power. The
other advantage of 2 struts is that the kite is lighter in the air,
which means better efficiency through the wind window. Translation: when
you pull the bar to turn the kite, there is no delay and the Ride sits
exactly where you’d like it to be at all times.
The biggest improvement over the first version of the Ride is that this
kite is even more stable. While testing it we were really surprised and
impressed – the 2 strut Ride feels as stable as a kite with 6 struts!
- Lighter weight = better low end
- Center section expands = sheet-in and go & low end
