What sport is driving the most demand at the moment (kite, wind, wing, surf…) and why?
NAISH is strong in every segment. We do not neglect our heritage in windsurfing, being one of the first kitebrands in the industry, recognizing as the innovator the first wings into the market and same counts for the SUP industry. Potentially, WINGING is for certain a strong growth sport

Our High Aspect range is the most successful foil set because it is very versatile, easy to use, multi discipline and easy to expand with a bigger front wing or backwing.

Key Products:

Hover Ascend Carbon Ultra:
The Hover Ascend Wing Board series has been specifically designed for a specialized usage in the field of wing foiling. Designed to be ridden a size smaller than our Hover Wing Foil Carbon Ultras, they offer a comparably thinner parallel planform with increased waterline. The parallel outline and increased water line makes it possible to get on the foil with minimal effort. In the smaller sizes (up to the 92) these boards are crafted with a flat tail rocker while the larger sizes feature a tail kick that makes them suitable for dual-purpose use as both SUP foil boards and wing foil boards.

Glider HA:
The Glider HA is our newly designed pump foil that specializes in dock starts and low-effort, light wind downwinding. The large wingspan and high aspect ratio foils provide high lift and low stall speed, making it possible to effortlessly pump and glide for long distances. In order to accommodate this larger wingspan, a new “Hammer Head” fuselage front wing connection has been designed to provide a very stable connection, instant response, and reduces any flex. The Dual expansion foam core construction with UD and 3K carbon layup provides ultimate stiffness at low weight.

Hover Downwind:
With exceptional attention to detail, the Hover DW has been designed and developed to revolutionize the world of downwind SUP foiling. The maximized waterline and beveled rails facilitate the generation and optimization of momentum with each paddle stroke, allowing riders to achieve directional stability and lift-off onto the foil with maximum ease. Furthermore, the beveled bottom ensures lateral stability during acceleration and facilitates quick lift-off, enabling riders to glide and ride swiftly across the waves.
