Stoked, my new kite finally came in. Its a 12m, new Naish design. So I went down to the beach and rigged it all up and it seems to have 6 lines. Ultra fast through the window, with great depower and bar pressure.

When i get some more time on it, i will post a review in the Gear section.

Until then, heres a pic.

Hope you all like.

Slick rig,I'm sure this will be a massive seller for the 2010 session.

How did you manage to get a pre-release Naish Manta Ray so early................???

Inside info on this kite is un-believable and sure to be a hit...

i was over in china, so i decided to drive to the kite factory. some of the upcoming kites look amazing. I snuck my camera down to there R&D man made beach and heres what i found.

Slingshot are doing a fast high wind kite called the octo



And Cabrinha are making a facinating sphere shaped kite called the pussball



I hope everyone likes my finds. Anyway i certainly look forward to next years kites.

Didn't they tell you that the kite is a special low wind kite?
It will fly upwind in minus 10 knots at minus five you will be totally overpowered, but no-one will see you, its amazing.
So much fun!!

I hope it comes with accessory spotlights in the eyes for night kiting.

Would certainly scare the living bejezzus out of anyone on the beach after dark
