Arrow Naish Torch 09

Don't mess with success. The 2009 Torch is built on the hugely successful 2008 design, which has been praised by magazines and riders around the world as the best C-kite ever made.


The new Smart Paneling in the wing tips increases the control of turn completion and improves depower smoothness. This provides all the advantages of a power C-kite with the depower range approaching that of an SLE.


The flying characteristics are unmatched. Never before has a kite had this amazing combination of fast turning and perfect pull during turns, while maintaing a very friendly overall riding feel. The 2009 Torch targets intermediate to professional kiters who demand the greatest possible hooked-in and unhooked performance from a power C-kite.
Combined with the 2009 Shift System, the Torch returns to defend its world wide teset winning status and remains the most technically perfect performance C-kite in existence.

- Smart Paneling Wingtips
- Shift Bi-Line Connection
- Flextip Leading Edge

- Direct Response Steering

Construction:

2009 Naish Shift System
The 2009 Shift System combines industry leading 5th Line performance with simplicity and seamless functionality.

This year, the floaters have been made larger to cover the line adjustment knots which provide a cleaner connection to the leader lines. This allows easier steering after rotations, and helps to float the bar.
The Shift System is the most effective way to control the arc of the Torch and provide the easiest relaunch. The new more ergonomic grip and graphics give it a stylish new look with function.
