Here are some detail pictures of the '07 Naish Boxer SLE...

Image

The whole shebang in a travel friendly package.

Image

Canopy bumpers protect the LE and canopy from abrasion by wrapping on to the LE.

Image

Bomber bridle attachment points on the LE...

Image

...and on the Wintips. High quality Ronstan Pulleys on the bridle and bar.
Aramid reinforcements on the LE angles at the wingtips for added protection.

Image

High Strength Spectra at all attachment points. You can see the Aramid
reinforcements and bridle adjustment here as well.

Image

Clear, Concise tuning instructions (printed on the kite) to set the kite up to
your preference

Image

Vertical Seamed struts and direct strut connection for a rigid structure.
The Boxer SLE comes set up with the Octopus Single Point Inflation System
for quick, easy rigging.


Image

Control bar set up in the 2:1 Configuration

Image

Control bar set up in the 1:1 configuration

Image

New Stainless Steel buckle for the Pull-Pull adjuster strap

Image

Molded T-Handles for Adjuster Strap

Image

Reliable Naish QRTL with integrated 'Chicken Finger'

I hope to have a review up soon, available in the US Mid-August :thumb:
The Boxer SLE is built with the highest quality materials available and bomber Naish construction. Quick turning, killer range, tuneable bar pressure to your preference; an incredible kite and an incredible value.

US MSRP:

6.0 $1149.00
9.0 $1299.00
12.0 $1399.00
15.0 $1499.00

it looks great !!!!
i like the idea of going from 1:2 to 1:1 in a sec.

but i don't understand the safty system. where do i conect the leash?
i see there is still the small metal ring for the fifth line on the chicken loop...

i don't trust punch out systems to be 99% safe like a fifth line system. (nothing is 100%)

maybe i'll just rig one to my next hybrid ...

There are two leash options with the naish's I have seen. One is on the chicken loop. The other is a small red ball above the depower strap you can see in these pictures. The red ball option will flag it onto one line.

the setup hooked to the red stopper ball gets in the way sometimes if your bar spins a lot.( it gets wrapped around the chicken loop rope) thats what kinda ticked me off about the shockwave

Hey Naish USA, any wind range estimates? Either the general ones or for me (160lbs advanced rider on 130 TT, Skim, and Trow directional)

Also, would you compare the relaunch of this kite to the 5th line Torch2?

Thanks for the pictures!

Im about 15# heavier than you and can comfortably ride the 9 in wind I would be on my torch 8. Havent been out in light wind yet so dont know the low wind threshold.

relaunch is like the shockwave, super easy...
