The test team commended the Triad for its major design upgrades that enhance handling without compromising the intuitive performance Naish is known for. This year’s model brings lighter touch steering coupled with the reliable low-end power and smooth pull the Triad is celebrated for. It continues to provide substantial feedback from the bar, aiding beginners and intermediates in monitoring the kite’s position effectively.

Notably, the Triad has seen improvements in precision steering and consistent power throughout maneuvers, ensuring easy boosting and a broader wind range. The addition of instant depower mechanisms over previous versions adds to the kite’s safety and versatility. The introduction of the Synergy Bridle System allows quick adjustments, transforming the kite’s characteristics to suit different riding styles from wave riding to twin-tip cruising.

Drawbacks

While the Triad is designed to accommodate a wide range of skill levels, advanced riders seeking a kite with extreme capabilities in specific disciplines like aggressive freestyle or foiling might find the Triad less tailored to their needs. However, its versatility and ease of use make it a strong contender for most riders.

Users

The Naish Triad is ideally suited for beginners and intermediates due to its forgiving nature and easy-to-use characteristics. However, the 2024 enhancements also make it a solid choice for advanced riders looking for a versatile kite that performs exceptionally well in waves and offers great freeride capabilities. Whether you’re looking to ride waves, boost big air, or enjoy a relaxed freeride session, the Triad provides a balanced and enjoyable ride across all conditions. Its multifaceted design ensures that it remains a favorite for riders seeking intuitive handling, responsive control, and outstanding surf performance.
