Hey guys, iv been latley searching around to demo a naish torch and a 2010 fuel. Im looking to progress further in unhooked/freestyle and i believe these kites are the way to go. However everyone i i have pritty much spoken to have said they dont stock them as its a very limited market and not many people buy them because of wind range/depower ect?
Have the new C kites improved from the old, but most people still have the old issues with c kites still in their views?
I've been flying the Naish torch 2010 all season and the depower isn't anything to worry about (there's 2 depower settings)
Total depower when connect to your 5th line and connecting to your depower leash which leaves your kite fully depowered with a little power left to relaunch.
Personally i clip on to the depower line/leash and i've never had a problem
I've been out on my 7m in 15knts (Surfboard)- 30knts+
Unhooking with this kite is extremely smooth and it doesn't pull your shoulders out.
I don't know bout any demos around but easiest thing to do is to go to your local naish retailer and ask in there.

that has all the info you need on the torch.
Good winds
il just flat out tell you my honest opinion.. buy a fuel. they win hands down no questions.. super easy relaunch super nice unhooked, its 4 line or 5th line optional if you want, boost good etc etc etc.
naish cant work without the 5th, they fly pretty average for a C.
ORRRR you could buy my 9m hifi comp which you will love too, its pretty much the best thing if you want C performance with heaps of range
