The 2008 Helix defines the natural evolution of using technologies to adapt to the large depower range required in modern kites. If you are looking for the one kite to work in the widest range of conditions for all styles of riding, look no further than the 2008 Naish Helix brought to you by Island Surf and Sail.
Naish has redefined water relaunch with their new leading edge shape. The "W"-shaped leading edge creates two contact points in the water, minimizing surface area exposed to the water and leverage needed to rotate the kite. When relaunching the kite, the kite rotates around one of these points, and it will effortlessly fly back into the sky.
The redesigned leading edge is complimented by Naish's patent-pending Geo Tech technology. The angular leading edge runs straight from strut to strut, maintaining canopy tension from strut to strut. This means that wind pressure is not needed to maintain the canopy profile. Geo Tech provides previously unseen structural integrity to the kite when sheeting, preventing canopy collapse at low angles typical in traditional kites.
Like all 2007 and 2008 Naish kites, the Helix comes standard with more great features than any kite on the market today. The one pump Octopus Inflation System saves time rigging, tunable bridles offers the option of connecting 1:1 and 2:1, Delta Cut 2-ply trailing edge provides unmatched durability and Geo Tech 2-piece leading edge allows faster turning and response.
The Helix utilizes the latest technologies to take your riding to new levels the sport has not yet seen. High performance combined with ease of use. The shape of the leading edge allows the rider to turn the kite at any speed with absolute control.
Naish will be releasing their entire Sigma Series line later this year, including the Alliance, Cult and Code.
