Naish Hunt Q Series 2026 Kite

Pure surf feel with maximum control and drift

Naish has introduced a new kite this season, specifically designed for wave riding, the Hunt Q Series 2026 Kite. As soon as you drop into a wave, you will notice how effortlessly the kite moves with you. The drift is stable and predictable, allowing the kite to stay perfectly positioned while you focus on your turns. No backstalls or unexpected slack, just a constant and reliable pull. What really stands out is how light and playful the kite feels.

The blended leading edge construction plays a key role in the overall performance. By combining 160 gsm dacron in the center with 140 gsm dacron in the tips, the frame remains stiff enough for stability while staying light and flexible for fast steering response. Together with the flex struts, this gives the kite a lively and highly responsive feel. The updated profile shape allows the kite to move efficiently through the wind window, helping you generate your own apparent wind, especially in lighter conditions. At the same time, the Profile Lock seam keeps the profile stable, ensuring consistent and predictable power, even during long turns or in gusty winds.

The bridle setup has been refined for wave riding, using SK99 lines and improved load distribution for more direct steering input. You feel exactly what the kite is doing without heavy bar pressure, making it easier to react quickly in technical sections of a wave. Even the smaller details have been carefully considered. The Swift tips reduce weight at the extremities of the kite, allowing for faster turning and smoother acceleration. The QuadTex canopy ensures a tight and durable construction that maintains its shape over time. TPU bumpers protect the kite in high wear areas without adding unnecessary weight.

The kite also features adjustable bridle settings, allowing you to easily tune it to the conditions. More power in lighter winds or more control when the wind picks up. Thanks to the easy relaunch, your kite is back in the air quickly after a crash, so you do not miss a single wave. The Naish Hunt Q Series 2026 is built for wave riders who want to get the most out of every session. A kite that moves with you, reacts instantly, and gives you the confidence to fully focus on riding the wave.
