The Helix continues to lead the revolutionary Sigma
Series. For 2009, it has been totally redesigned to
provide super fast turning, superior glide, great
upwind ability, easier water relaunch, more direct
bar feel, and a 5th line friendly option.
These improvements have been achieved by
reducing the number of struts, lowering the aspect
ratio, developing a new bridle platform and
reworking the arc; making it the first ever GeoTech
Generated C-Shaped arc.
We have also incorporated the Low Drag Wingtip
and Direct Response Steering technologies into our
new wingtip design. To complete the Helix line, we
have added two new sizes.
For intermediate to advanced riders who seek the
highest all-terrain performance, and those looking
to course race.

Naish SLE Bar - Included when purchasing cas as COMPLETE:
The 2009 SLE control system has been streamlined
and simplified. Improvements include a new center
line attachment system, a stainless steel swivel, and a
spinning front line leash.
The flying line connection/leader lines have
also been streamlined by moving the rear line
attachment points closer to the bar, where they are
covered by the large floaters. Now steering the kite
with line twists is easier since there are no adjustment
knots at the end of the leader lines.
The styling of the bar is also distinct with a new more
ergonomic grip, and a new bar end that allows easy
bar length adjustment.
For 2009, there is a single dedicated 1:1 with the
below the bar sheeting on the Smart Loop. The SLE
Control System can also be easily retro-fitted with an
optional 5th Line kit. The clean design allows you to
focus on your kiting experience.
