Naish Hunt [Q] 2026

The Naish Hunt [Q] 2026 is a dedicated wave kite designed to be the invisible link between you and the wave. It drifts effortlessly down the line, holds steady through carves and stays where you need it – Naish's brief was no backstall and no surprises. Bar feel is precise, power delivery smooth and the steering stays reactive even when sheeted out.

A featherlight, crisp airframe with automatic relaunch makes it as much at home on freeride and foil sessions as in the surf. Naish product designer Ewan Jaspan walks through the details in the Hunt Tech Talk video.
