Review Naish Park 12m en 10m
A few weeks ago I met the guys from Ocean Addicts at the Boardmeeting in Kuana. They gave me some kites to try, so I will write a short review about this kites.
Sorry for my english, I¡¦m here in Australia, to practice my English. I hope you can understand the review and can use the information.
For a Freestyle session the guys gave me the Naish Park to try. The first two sessions were with the Park 12m. The conditions were 14 to 17 knots and I was riding in the Rivermouth at Maroochydore. Flat water and waves as well. A few days later I rode the Park 10m for a few sessions in the waves at Cotton Tree, Maroochydore and in the flat water at Caloundra. The wind was blowing 18 to 24 knots.
When I launched the kite, immediately I felt the easy turning of the kite. The kite responded quickly and has a medium bar pressure. Despite this medium bar pressure, I felt exactly where the kite was. So the bar pressure is not too light (for me).
I had the kite to do some Freestyle tricks, so I tried some raley¡¦s. When I unhooked, to prepare the raley, I continued to maintain a relatively constant pressure which means I (girl) easily with a little more wind dare to unhook. The kite stays at the same place, and has a good pop to make my raley. Yeaaah, nice ƒº! Feels good! After that I tried a kiteloop and some other tricks and I was very happy with the Park. It¡¦s all so easy with that kite.
Then I did a light wind Jump. Again easy and you can go high with this kite. I¡¦m not really a waverider, but I tried to ride some waves. I noticed that the kite is fast, but stable for in the waves. Easy to ride the waves!
Oke, you read that I¡¦m very happy with this kite, because it¡¦s a fast and very easy riding kite and has enough pop to do some tricks. Only the 12 meter has not a very good lowend. I think that is the only downside of the Park.
I have not much to critize on the bar and Lines. Everything looks fine and respectable. The safety and the stopperball Work well. As for me just fine.
My conclusion is that the Park an awesome kite. A kite for someone who wants something for everything. So for freeriding, some Freestyle and waveriding. And easy and fast kite with good pop.
Take that kite and have a lot of fun! See ya on the water guys!
