Versatile Freeride & Wave Performance

The Naish Triad 2023/24 is an all-around kite designed for riders wanting smooth power delivery, intuitive handling and dependable performance across freeride and wave conditions. Built to feel predictable and easy to control, the Triad combines stable drift, comfortable bar feedback and balanced handling for riders progressing through everyday sessions or pushing harder in surf conditions.

Its versatile design allows the kite to transition naturally between freeride cruising, wave riding and mixed-condition sessions without feeling overly aggressive or technical. The Triad delivers a forgiving and confidence-inspiring feel while still maintaining enough responsiveness for fast directional changes, carving turns and powered freeride riding.

For wave riders, the Triad offers stable drift and smooth depower that help the kite remain controlled while surfing down the line. For freeride riders, it maintains the comfortable and balanced feel Naish kites are known for, with easy relaunch, predictable handling and consistent power through gusty conditions.

Designed for Everyday Freeride & Surf Sessions

The Triad’s canopy profile and balanced frame construction help create a smooth and stable ride across a broad range of wind conditions. Its efficient power delivery allows riders to maintain control without excessive bar pressure, while responsive steering helps the kite remain agile and easy to reposition during transitions and wave riding.

Whether riding a surfboard or twin-tip, the Triad delivers a natural and accessible feel that suits riders wanting one kite capable of handling freeride cruising, progressing wave sessions and everyday riding without demanding aggressive input or highly technical riding styles.

Key Features

Smooth & Predictable Power Delivery

Balanced tuning and progressive power help the kite feel stable, intuitive and easy to control in changing conditions.

Stable Drift for Wave Riding

The Triad is designed to remain composed while drifting down the line, helping riders focus more on surfing and less on kite management.

Responsive Freeride Handling

Fast and direct steering response allows smooth turning behaviour and confident handling for freeride and surf sessions alike.

Easy Relaunch & Forgiving Feel

The kite’s accessible handling and stable canopy profile make relaunch simple and help create a comfortable experience for progressing riders.

Durable Quad-Tex Canopy Construction

Naish’s Quad-Tex ripstop material helps maintain canopy shape and long-term performance consistency while improving overall durability.

Who Is the Triad 2023/24 Best Suited For?

The Naish Triad 2023/24 is ideal for:

Freeride riders wanting smooth and intuitive handling
Wave riders looking for stable drift and easy depower
Riders progressing into surf and all-around riding
Twin-tip riders wanting forgiving everyday performance
Intermediate to advanced kiters chasing versatility across mixed conditions

Naish Triad 8m 2023

I flew the 8m 2023 Naish Triad recently in 14-17 knots. There wasn’t quite enough wind for a directional session so I opted for a foil instead. Other kitefoilers were on 10m Kites at the time. My previous experience with a 3-strut Kite was with the Naish Slash. More recently, I’ve been riding a Boxer when foiling. In the air, the Triad felt responsive with medium feedback on the bar. It’s reasonably quick thru the air and turned around its wing tip with a good pull on the bar. The steering lines can be set to a lighter feedback setting but I didn’t trial this during the session. In comparison to my 5m Boxer, the 8m Triad felt markedly slower in the air, understandably. I got use to this quickly however and found that manoeuvres like 360’s, and upwind tacks were much easier for me due to the additional power and float from the Triad. Surprisingly, when riding down a wave and straight at the kite at 45 degrees, it drifted remarkably. I only needed minor bar input to counteract the kite falling, allowing it to drift with me. I’d say the drift is much better than my 2020 Slash 7m. This may be the influence of the Luff strut, but it was a stand out feature in my book. I can understand how Naish still market this kite to intermediate free-ride Kiter’s as it’s user-friendly and you know where it is at all times. I believe wave kiting is now the focus for more advance riders. I am really looking forward to running this kite through its paces in some 4ft cross-shore conditions as I feel this is where it will shine. Based on my test, I have ordered a 7m as I feel the power this kite generates will be more than adequate for the conditions I primarily ride in i.e. 12-20kts foiling, 20+kts wave kiting etc. Big thanks to Jason at Briskites for the test ride and his knowledge in the field.
