hi i tried a naish park 12m 2014 today put about 7 psi in the kite but the struts did not seem that hard or the wing tips. just wondering what to put in it and when relaunching half hour later self launch from sand it did not want to form shape like down on air i did have the 2013 were i went today was gusty and wind up and down so prob not fair assesment but it sems to to turn pretty slow a bit more bar pressure than the 13 model maybe and the new bar shape is different i did not feel that happy with the kite but once again the wind was not great but interested to see if need to put more psi in thanks

Just pump it till it pings when you flick it. Can't go wrong.

Try another pump, the gauge might be wrong.

I've been on the 2014 parks for a little while now. Probably one of the worst kites i have had for self launching, they tend to fold over on themselves. Always keep your hand on the quick release. Relaunching seems ok so I could be doing something wrong as well?

Apart from that... Awesome kites in the air though. Does everything well.

I would check the attachments on the wingtips of the kite to see what setting it is on ie fast or slow.

Also check the bar to see what setting the rear lines knots are on. I run mine on the second knot. They are under the (floaty things on the sides of the bar) whatever they are called.
