You are a kite beginner and looking for a kite? Then you should definitely take a look at the Naish Triad 2021. Good stability, predictive behavior and an easy relaunch make the Triad the perfect beginner kite.

The S25 2021 Naish Triad has a new diagonal seam. This seam ensures that the cloth sits more stable in the kite, resulting in improved steering and a more stable kite. In addition, the Triad 2021 has a new inflation valve to inflate the Triad even faster. The Triad’s cloth is made of the strongest and most durable material on the market: Quad Tex.

The Triad was designed by Naish developers to be a faithful and capable kite for the rider from water launching to practicing kite loops. The kite is stable in the sky and even in gusty winds the kite gives great feedback.

Especially for beginners, the forgiving steering behavior is an advantage. The forces of the kite are always constant and predictable. For riders who like it a little sportier, should rather reach for the Pivot.

The relaunch is very easy by pulling on the steering line. Of course, the focus of the Triad is not on jumping, however, it does not perform badly at all in this discipline. Thus, the kite is suitable for advanced riders to perform their first tricks and jumps.

One of the features that make the Triad 2021 such a nice kite is its large depower range and easy sheet-and-go. This means that you can simply pull the bar towards you without steering the Triad too much. The Triad is a great kite to start kitesurfing with and at the same time its long hangtime makes it suitable for new jumps or your first kite loops.

The kite is available in sizes 14,12,11,10,9,8,7,6 square meters. Naish defines the kite as a classic allround freerider. All in all, a very well-made kite, which is aimed specifically at beginners and advanced kiteboarders. If you already have a lot of experience in kitesports, this kite is probably not sporty enough for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to write us a comment.
