12 meter naish torch slow to turn? Not anymore!

Well the first 2 days on my 12 sucked, it was really slow turning; therefore definatly not doing any loops or fast turns. But, today a naish rep was on site doing demos so I decided to ask about the problem. Come to find out all my kite needed was a couple adjustments to the bar. He shortened the QTR line and shotened the back lines at the bar which are both discussed in the manuel, but I failed to try and do.

Now my 12 meter Torch turns on a dime and I can practice my down loops again.

Much thanks to Pete and Naish Crew

Very Happy

Hey thanks Naish (John, Peter, Matt) for letting us try out the gear! It was a perfect day to test gear with the up/down wind you could just come in and get another size... Very Happy

My conclusion: All the kites felt great, and if your in the market for Naish don't overlook the Boxer. It had a lighter feel to it that I really liked. Also it can be flown with or without a 5th line, so you got options there.

Thanks again! Wave

Right on guys.... Yeah Matt and I also agree that the Naish Boxer is the hidden jewel in the Naish line-up. I hope everyone had an opportunity to try out a couple of the kites yesterday...

Hey Phillip, nice board ya got there!
