2008 North Kiteboards

NORTH BOARDS North’s reputation in Kiteboard construction doesn’t need to be made any more. Its 3D Cap sandwich construction is the result of five years experience with high pressure technology and allows the creation of individual flex properties in various areas of their boards, giving each one of them different and optimised riding characteristics.One step further is the Carbon 3D Cap Sandwich, featured in the Pro model range.All together, the 2008 North board range features no less than 8 different models!
CAESAR PRO 08 this board is a full blooded new school weapon. With its hard flex, flat rocker and straight outline, it allows huge pop, bounce free landings, early planing and great upwind performance!

SKY PRO 08 Largest board of the PRO series, the SKY has massive pop, hard flex, excellent upwind riding, offers good control, sticky landing and has wakeboard inserts.
MALLORY PRO 08 The new board of the PRO range, the Mallory is a new school board with hard flex. It offers great pop and control, good upwind ability and has wakeboard inserts.

JAIME PRO 08 Certainly the most popular of the North PRO board range, known for its assymetrical concave, the Jaime is fast and smooth and is the perfect alternative between free-ride and freestyle.

2008 Naish Kiteboards

TWIN TIPS
NAISH this season, after experimenting for the first time on the SOL last year (and obtaining a whopping zero warranty claims worldwide!), has gone for wood core for the construction of ALL its twin tips. The result? An incredibly lively feel, smooth flex and wicked pop: we love it!

THORN: 100% Freestyle, this board delivers stiffness, pop, versatility and durability, and will suit all the tough boys who want to go hardcore!
SOL: This is the all terrain board, offering versatility and comfort in all conditions. This is an all condition performance board (flat, choppy, wave, you name it!), as comfortable in freestyle as in high speed.
HAZE: Fun, easy to ride (but offering a lot more than a simple beginner’s board) you’ll love this user friendly board! On top of all the wood properties, it offers the big attraction of its price

New F-One Delta C-Shape

Heres the first details on the new 2008 patented F-One kite.

It certainly looks the part.
No News on thier advantages at this stage however the Delta shape looks like it will depower extremely well without losing steering line tension.

We are keen to see how they prevent the kite from overflying.

Details here http://www.f-onekites.com/ on the 9th of July.

Revolutionary Kite design by NAISH

NEW 2008 NAISH SIGMA SERIES KITES

The designs will be very apparent once used, you will see why the old designs are just that. SIGMA represents the next step forward in kite design and handling.
4 line or 5 line configuration, SLE or Non bridal versions, your choice.

By incorporating straight segments in the leading edge from strut to strut, canopy tension is kept constant. Wind pressure is not necessary to maintain the canopy profile, and at low angles of attack Geo-Tech keeps the canopy from collapsing. By maintaining a consistent aerodynamic leading edge Geo-Tech provides a wrinkle free canopy, large depower range, and stability at broad angles of attack where historically kites with a large depower range have experienced distortion. Combined with Sigma shape, Geo-Tech creates the most precise and controllable kites ever, which maintain this feeling and control trhough an amazingly broad wind range.The front profile of Geo-Tech compared to a curved leading edge quickly shows where the extra canopy material allows conventional kite foils to collapse at low angle of attack and expand at high angle of attack creating instability. Geo-Tech keeps the foil the right shape at broad angle of attack.

Also in regards to turning, the Sigma kite flexes from the center during turns : which enables the rider to turn the kite at any speed with absolute control. The Sigma leading edge produces a hing pint at the center of the kite unlike conventional kites that use normaly 30% for turning.

HELIX
High performance ( 7 strut, Sigma Shape, Geo-Tech, Octopus, SLE Control Sys )
ALLIANCE ( Sigma Shape, Geo-Tech, Octopus, Shift System ) - 5 Line

The design of the Aliance is for kiters that they want a kite with a 5th line but with benefits similar to the SLE. In order to design this kite they took the bases of the Torch 2008 with a flatter arc to improve the low wind benefits and using the new technologies Sigma and Geo ‐ Tech. Easy kite for all conditions - for most peopleUnlike the Helix, Cult and Code, the relaunching of the Aliance is just like the Torch or any other kite with 5 lines.

CULT ( Sigma Shape, Geo-Tech, Octopus, SLE Control Sys )

Cult 2008 is a evolution of already well-known Boxer SLE, but with all the new advantages of Sigma and Geo ‐ Tech. The design of cult with 5 struts makes of this kite that will satisfy 90% of kiters. The stability, the ease of handling, the ease of the relaunching, the low bar pressure are the factors that have improved.
CODE ( Sigma Shape, Geo-Tech, SLE Control Sys )

Code 2008 is a Cult with less details but with similar benefits, perfect for people looking for the best price.
