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.

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.
