Kite
State-of-the-art C-kite for competition freestyle, power freeriding and unhooked waveriding.
Designers goals
The Torch flies quickly through the air and will depower easily with a quick check of the board edge. Power is delivered smoothly, with depower similar to a bridled kite by virtue of the kite’s ability to fly fast. Whether you are hooked in or unhooked, riding is effortless and precise. The position of the kite’s struts makes it stiffer in the air, for even more precise handling.
The Torch is equally at home winning heats on the world stage as it is ripping up your home beach.
Key Features
- Precise bar feel
- Unmatched unhooked qualities
- Fast response flying
- Solid power through the turn
- Kite of choice for pro riders

BAD PONTS: Hard to water relaunch, 5 lines,
C kites are amazing, the direct feel of the power makes you feel conftable and confident that you will always have power to keep you riding.
C kites have not changed that much over the years, so when buying kites look for the barging.

it is amazing going up wind, states bar is wrong
The Naish Torch 2013 is what we all aspected it to be. A good looking, high quality product once again. The kite's flying speed and turning speed are improved. It delivers smooth power throughout. The Torch is very precise and reacts directly to your imput. Don't underestimate this small feller, this kite is an explosive monster which will boost you all over the place when looping. Even unhooked in big winds the kite is still controllable. When you are not able to unhook anymore, just enjoy the amazing jumping and looping ability of this kite. This kite will provide everything experienced and pro-riders demand. Yet another improved version of the well-known Torch family.
