OMFG not another "new " kite from Naish - no wonder their resale value is zilch, wish they would make up their mind and concentrate on a few designs and stick with them for a few years and develop them rather than changing each year (bar the Torch).

I always prefere gear made specified for a discipline. And since Naish makes some of the best gear on the market, I am really happy that they come with a race kite to replace the charger. A shame they have not IKA registred the kite ?

I think this is the kite I have seen around here for some time. If this is it, then race and jumping / free riding.
I am assuming this is the kite they have been testing for some time in the bay here. I also seen one that was jumping really really high that I could imagine looks like that. Would make sense. High AR, 5 struts in high wind.

High Performance Freeride/Race
Sizes: 7, 9, 12, 14, 17
The Draft is a high performance freeride kite that excels at hooked-in riding, hang time and racing. This state-of-the-art design has powerful lift for boosting big airs and long gliding jumps.
The Draft features a Static Bridle Platform. This eliminates the pulley and keeps the kite stable and driving forward for unrivaled windward performance and downwind speed.
The Draft has five struts on the 7, 9 and 12 sizes for added control in strong winds and three struts on the 14 and 17 sizes for light wind performance and faster turning. Stability, high floating jumps, and speed are characteristics that define the Draft.
