Foil Wing Naish ADX Nvision

The gear you know and love, reimagined. The Aluula material amplifies the playful and high performance characteristics you have come to love in Naish products.

It’s extremely light weight.

Typical Dacron weighs around 160 gsm, whereas Aluula Gold comes in at a mere 82 gsm.  That is half the weight!  When thinking about things that fly, it would be an overstatement to say that “weight matters”.  Not only does this weight savings make the overall feel of a kite more spry and lively, it also helps performance immensely in marginal wind conditions.  A lightweight yet responsive kite really helps make more drive/power in the kite both in light wind and stronger conditions.

It’s insanely rigid.

Not only is the Aluula fabric significantly stronger in warp and weft orientations, its tensile strength is upwards of 5 times stronger than traditional Dacron.  This helps significantly with overall frame rigidity, allowing for us to build more intuitively reactive and aerodynamically efficient structures.  Lightning fast turn response is the hallmark of Aluula Gold,  all thanks to its efficient transfer of energy and loads throughout the kite’s more robust frame.

It lasts.

With its extremely high tear, puncture, and abrasion resistance, the Aluula Gold material is extremely durable.  The woven strand “core” material is up to 8x stronger than steel of the same diameter.  When combined with the high tensile strength of the outer laminate layers we have a material specifically designed to maximize durability over the complete life span of the kite.

Aluula is hydrophobic.

This may seem like a negligible feature, but its resistance to taking on any additional water keeps the material from gaining un wanted weight from the absorption of water.  Not only does this help keep your kite dry and lightweight, but the material also doesn’t promote the growth of organic materials, aka no moldy kites.

It has top level UV resistance.

Again, like its hydrophobic nature, its amazing UV resistance can be easily overlooked.  However, nothing destroys kites and wings faster than the harsh UV exposure from long hours in the sun.  Most windsports are performed during the daylight hours, therefore the gear is subjected to plenty of harsh hours of UV.  This ultimately degrades the strength, responsiveness, and durability of the material resulting in overall performance losses.  Thanks to its advanced and durable UV coatings, the Aluula Gold material will extend the life of your kite much longer than a traditional Dacron kite.
