Hey guys I'm wondering about the Naish Trip kite. I've found a 10 m ex demo for $700. Is it any good in the surf? Without struts I'd imagine the relaunch would be a bit difficult? Any opinions?

Cheers,
Nick

Hey nick speak to Kim at gero surf and sail, pretty sure he spent time on most naish kites at the current brand release gig, said he was surprised at some of naish,s kites, not my thing but the pivot gets the thumbs up from a local who I've given the demo

No worries Kim solely rides waves so worth talking to, all zero strut kites have a great bottom end and rapid turning to size ratio, it's when things pick up in wind speed that they lose their finesse

there is a lot of chatter on some of the overseas forums about what a great surf kite the brm cloud is. Apparently it's drifting ability is almost unmatched, plus it was made for windy Maui conditions.
