The Helix continues to lead the revolutionary Sigma Series. For this year, it has been totally redesigned to provide super fast turning, superior glide, great upwind ability, easier water relaunch, more direct bar feel, and a 5th line friendly option.
These improvements have been achieved by reducing the number of struts, lowering the aspect ratio, developing a new bridle platform and reworking the arc; making it the first ever GeoTech Generated C-Shaped arc.
We have also incorporated the Low Drag Wingtip and Direct Response Steering technologies into our new wingtip design. To complete the Helix line, we have added two new sizes.
The Helix is for intermediate to advanced riders who seek the highest all-terrain performance, and those looking to course race.

SIGMA OUTLINE The core concept of Naish Sigma kites is a radically re-shaped leading edge that moves much of the center canopy area behind the tow point. The result is a kite that delivers significant performance improvements in 4 key areas : 1) Overall stability2) Bar pressure and feel 3) Turning 4) Relaunch The Sigma design produces a balanced, linear power band combined with bar pressure that remains light but steady through a wide range of trim angles, creating a nearly perfect feedback loop between rider and kite. |
|
GEO-TECH 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 maintaing 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 through an amazingly broad wind range. |
|
New Direct response Wing tips The Angle of Attack on the wingtips has been increased from the previous Naish Cult to keep them more actively engaged. On the new Naish Cult, when bar inputs are added, the wingtip instantly reacts and produces drag while the opposite wingtip instantly accelerates and creates quicker and more responsive turning. Relaunch is also optimized as the lines hang to the inside of the kite and have less chance of becoming wrapped around the wingtip. |
