As a dedicated one-strut kite, the Naish Boxer maximizes light wind possibilities. With optimized aspect ratios and perfected arc profiles, the canopy is tighter than ever and the balance between power and turning ability is next level. Sheet in and go, the Boxer is your best friend in kite foiling, lightwind wave or freeride conditions thanks to precise bridling and great bar feel.
The size range is also finely tuned to each discipline, with smaller sizes specially refined for kite foiling. With the refined Luff Strut, the Boxer provides more stability and power, promoting easier relaunch and offers great drifting ability.
These kites now sit deeper in the window, giving you a more solid feel while foiling. The panel count is also optimized by size, meaning all kites in the range have a similar feel due to the larger sizes having more panels and the smaller sizes having fewer. This brings the ultimate balance of structure and weight per size. The Dacron layout has also been redesigned to keep weight down.
Along with a new lightweight/streamlined TLS 500 bridle lines, the Boxer now flies better than ever in light air. The huge size range from 2.8-16.0m means the Boxer has the largest range in the Naish lineup, with the bigger sizes being great light wind twin tip options, the middle sizes being great for all-around light wind riding (surfboard, foil, twin tip) and the smaller sizes excelling at kite foiling.
A point which may be overlooked by most riders, the Boxer shines at light wind and down-the-line wave riding, drifting better than almost anything due to its lightweight single luff strut design.
An outstanding underpowered kite, the Boxer is incredibly easy to relaunch, light to the touch, responsive but gentle. Very easy to sheet in and go, this kite is quick, easy to control and generates power quickly. It’s light and lively feel at the fingertips makes it approachable and forgiving. In short, the Boxer is the proverbial “yes man”—eager to please, easy to control and supportive enough to explore your own style.
It is also ideal for intermediate to advanced riders who want one compact kite for travelling, freeriding, wave riding and snow kiting.
Quad-Tex Material:
Taking this sought-after C-kite to the next level, the addition of the Quad-Tex canopy makes the Pivot practically indestructible. Already engineered for solid control and handling in strong winds, the addition of Quad-Tex’s 4x-reinforced ripstop and perfectly balanced weave matrix—testing 30% stronger and stiffer than any other around heightens the stability and responsiveness of the Boxer design. The pinnacle of freestyle performance just became stronger and more accessible; time to experience the pure precision of the Boxer.
Naish Boxer Depower:
The Naish Boxer is a kite that depowers by flying to the edge of the window. Compared to other kites, the Boxer’s foil profile is thinner, and its Leading Edge diameter is smaller.
These two characteristics allow the kite to fly further forward in the window, and get there fast. This gives it the ability to depower quickly.
Key Features:
-
Profile Lock Seam: Located along the high point of the kite, the Profile Lock Seam ensures that the kite maintains its shape even after countless sessions.
-
Swift Tips: 30% stronger and yet lighter than previous wingtip constructions, providing a streamlined look and faster turning performance.
-
Bladder Cap Construction: Rounded aramid wingtip and strut closure eliminates any chance of bladder explosions. Designed to withstand higher leading-edge input pressure.
-
Optimized Aspect Ratios: Individualized by kite size to increase turning speed and power delivery.
-
Quad-Tex Ripstop: The strongest and stiffest canopy material on the market, QuadTex withstands intense conditions while maintaining long term high performance.
-
Radial Segmented Arc: Short linear segments form the kite’s arch accurately and smoothly.
-
HT Plus Seam: High-tenacity thread that reinforces the seam on the leading edge, ensuring confidence in a high-pressure inflation for improved performance.
-
Aerodynamic Flying Bridles: Extremely lightweight and aerodynamic, decreasing air and water drag and enabling easier relaunch.
-
Bridle Point Construction: Adjustable, intuitive, stronger and cleaner than ever before: increase the wind range of the kite, maximize depower in the bar throw.
-
Luff Strut: Providing an adaptable framework for better low-end power.
-
SureLock Valve: Flushed inflation valve with secure twist lock mechanism for pump-hose, for easy and fast inflation.
-
Single Diagonal Load Seam: Improves direct steering for a responsive and well-balanced kite.
-
New Bridle: Gives better steering direction with the bar at any distance on the throw, meaning even at full depower you have total control of your kite.
