Well its that time of year already when the companies start having their dealer meetings so I thought I might share some pics......
I'm guessing August / September for the Naish gear. Some brands are July / August.
How much for some of that Naish wind in the background 
Its been that long since ive used my Torch, im confused why it wont lite up my cigarrettes 
an im not stupid either - i know you cant use it to see in the dark ... cause there aint nowhere to be puttin in them batteries 
OMG!! this is sooo sweet, the shapes, the colours, everything is just so original and fresh. When can we get our hands on these goodies? I will take 3 of everything!!
I saw on the naish site (Icant find it any more otherwise I would have posted the link) they are bringing out a limited edition graphics of the skull and cross bones. Any chance they will be coming down under?
the seagull is evolving, guess this proves the theory of evolution.....
caint say its evolving into something worth riding
im sure the other seagulls are jealous wat with all them gay nice colours....
Check the straps out! Very cool lookin - love all the new systems comin out this year!
Also think it's cool the way they aren't printing sizes on the wingtips - further up looks really good!
It looks like the sigma shape has been 'toned down' this year especially from the 08 helix, interesting!
) cause 2009 bars were not that impressive.
I really like the old above the bar system they had on the 2007 gear. It was easy to use and clean below the bar.
I think the more rounded shape in the leading edge will be to reduce stress at the joins and improve the flight characteristics.
I don't know what people have against the Helix shape. I have never heard complaints from anyone that rides it, and people are always interested to find out about it even when I pull out my natty 08 Helix.
Naish doesn't need to rely on marketing gimmicks! The brand itself is a marketing tool that has a legend of Windsurfing and Kitesurfing behind it.
I think the Helix shape does make a difference, the main thing being the canopy doesn't flap when depowered. And my 9m Helix really shoots to the front of the wind window, just by giving a bit more back foot pressure. You need to pump it up nice and hard though.
I think the fact that the Alliance no longer exists shows how brilliant the Torch is and probably was more of a development step.
I'll be considering replacing my 12m Boxer SLE with a 12m Helix this summer.
Just cut off the micro loop, Idiot.
Some nice looking gear from Naish, I like the Torch graphic with the guy in the suit and what looks to me like a scary balinese mask.
The full wood boards look amazing, drool, drool.
Those Thorn TT's look like they are perfectly disguised to hide from you when you're body dragging looking for your board. I like bright, high vis boards.
That micro loop looks like trouble to me. The only time I would be using it is if I felt like getting a powered up caning from my kite, whilst frantically trying to unhook it, which is er, never.
What is the point? Enlighten me.
F**k me guys the sigma shape rocks and i would be more than happy to to put it up against any kite and show how superior it is. These kites have taken my riding to places i didn't know it could go and the new ones look sick.
cant be bothered.... At least sir rowdy is consistent in his hate for all kites that are not C shape.
Kites look sick can't wait to get mine and test them out.
Jacko
When your hands are tired from the bar pressure and you still want to ride full power you can use it.
Exactly like the stopper that you have on your Naish bar.
The difference is you can accurately setup your power on Naish bar or Slingshot bar but its not easy to work with this thing
I got rid of the bullet thing and stopper on my centre line (I have an 07 bar) as it catches on the bar and I have a habit of resting my right thumb on the centre line, so I kept cutting my hand. I also have long arms and can use most of the bar travel.
My hands would be the last thing to get tired. Its mainly my legs that get tired.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying out the new 12m Helix kite as a replacement for my Boxer SLE 12m. Only issue is the price premium over other brands.

I think they are going to be great kites, This years were nice, particularly the Helix. By the looks of it they have removed the Geotech for 2010. May feel a little more C-Kite-ish now. Kites look good, not a delta...still the sigma shape. Am dead keen to give them a run this year.
