About this kite

The Triad is Naish's ultimate all-round kite: predictable, forgiving and deliberately tuned to meet every rider where they are. It relaunches instantly, depowers honestly and progresses from first waterstarts to first jumps without a change of gear. The definition of a safe recommendation.
