Naish International requested to have the picture taken off. They will release all info and better pictures once they completed all info about the Charger.
Please accept their apologies.

Is it just me, or does the Charger look a little Wainman-esque?
Looks cool from the limited pic...

No. Not realy. It's got a that naish boxy leadind edge. The strut inflection points at the leadind edge don't curve they come to a point. It also dosn't have the leading edge battons or scuf guard thingys. It is a "delta" shape but out side of that it dosn't look all that alike.

looks nice, it still has the geo-tech, but nothing like the winman kites at all..
Which I guess should speed up turning...
I am sure there are scruff guards on sensitive points, all my naish kites have had that...

definitely not replacing neither the cult or the helix..the cult 2010 is a mix between the 09 helix and 09 cult with some added performance thingy's..super smooth.

I think that companies are worried that if they don't release a Delta kite this year they are going to be left behind. Not necessarily a bad thing, Delta's for the most part are great kites.
But Delta is definitely the new BOW.
