finally it has a name...looks like Naish is very secret about it...they must have developed something new...
When will it be out?

No replacement for the fabulous Raven 3 I hope. They should merely do some very very small refinements (a tad faster turning for waveriding, even higher jumping) on that kite or even better, leave it the way it is!
I've only ridden my Raven 3 12m lately. From 14-15 knots up to 30 knots or so, great range. What an awesome kite. Huge and very floaty jumps, excellent control, great loops, easy turning, light on the bar and very stable (when pumped up hard). And the best is it keeps power through those fast and hard carving turns I really dig.....No hybrid or SLE can come close..

Naish, something new??
I highly doubt it. From what i have heard it will be a 4 / 5 line kite just like the Ion 2, Link and Yarga to name a few. Only difference is they are a year behind

Not a Naish fan I presume?

Naish had some problems, but for me now they are back on track and have great products for every style.
They will have something new, otherwise they wouldn't be that secret about it...

And I guess it wouldn't have a new name unless it was something different in design to the current line up.

Hmm, that makes sense. Any one got some pics or what? I've seen pics of the new North and SS kites and some others, but nothing from Maui...
I also agree with Toby on this one...it will be exciting to see what comes out...
