About this kite

The Slash is Naish's pure wave and strapless-freestyle kite: generous drift, snappy pivot turns and a low-end-to-top-end range that handles the surf zone's honest chaos. It sits deep in the window when you need it gone and answers immediately when you do not. Wave riders' Naish since 2016.
