2020 Slash
Pure Wave/ Strapless Fun
The ideal choice to stoke out dedicated wave-kiters, the 2020 Slash delivers unmatched drift, a wide wind range and quicker reaction time.
The leading edge bladder is tapered through the wingtip, creating a small diameter for fast turning speed and response. Providing incredible low-end power and the best down-the-line drift in the Naish line, the bar pressure is light to help fight fatigue and keep kiters on the water even longer. Made to take a beating in heavy surf, the Quad-Tex canopy remains the strongest material in the industry, while the leading edge seam features our exclusive HT+ thread that tested off the charts in strength. Thanks to the strength that Quad-Tex provides, Dacron strut panels can be removed without a loss of canopy rigidity, allowing for further weight reduction. Our unique Bladder Lock ensures there is no movement in the leading edge bladder or struts when inflating, deflating, crashing or packing.
The Slash has established itself as Naish's premier wave kite, providing incredible down-the-line drift and stable flight, perfect for park-and-ride style kitesurfing.
2020 Slash Reviews
The Kiteboarder | "The Slash had a ton of usable range and a really comfortable bar control with light bar pressure over a longer length of throw. The crisp turning response and fast turning speed made it really easy to generate power and place the kite in position and makes a great candidate for those who want a responsive fast moving kite for wave riding."
