Comment on Naish Torch ‘07 Kite…Having Exploding Issues by ME

Same with my 12m Torch. Happened on one side had it fixed, bladder replaced, with in 5 rides the other side did the exact same thing. Obviously a problem but Naish says there absolutely nothing wrong here, no defects. To be fair my kite was at half life, it’s a little suspect that these kites all seem to die the same way. Still love the way they fly though.

Mmm, my Naish Torch 12 2008 Model (4) exploded almost exactly as the one in the first picture. Lucky for me i’m rather familiar using a sewing machine…

Had it once before on a naish raven 2 14 alon the LE zipper.

Same happened last week with a Torch 3 9m! First time it happened was last summer when turning over, total blow-out madness destruction. Last week it happened as I was teaching someone with little wind, kite was on 5th line, and during relaunch. BANG. But now on the other side :(. I still think this is a faulty construction!

Wow, it’s a little late but I’m glad I found this article.

I had the exact same thing happen to my 07 Raven 16.
It blew right at the center seam of the LE while someone was fliping it to launch me.
The kite had around 10-15 sessions on it, but I was just past the 3 month mark. I had my local shop deal with Naish, but Naish would have nothing to do with it, not even repair it.
This happened around August of 07 so by that point Im sure Naish had to know about this problem from the sounds of this article. It almost makes me mad all over again.
In the end, I made out ok since my shop hooked me up with a new Raven, but it was at their expense which I don’t feel good about.
Anyway, it’s time to buy some new kites again but I don’t think it will be Naish since they don’t stand behind their product

Cheers from Michigan!

Comment on Bularoo Update… by jon sidell

Just bought a bularoo 16m from kitegearexchange on ebay
Thought i was getting a great deal, but of course after one session the dreaded leak and swim back, this kite never touched water!!!
The one aspect being ingnored is cost of shipping, which from what i can tell will be 100 dollars back and forth(total) although they will exchanged kite, they will not pay for shipping, plus the time involved, and days missed bcoz of no kite
My advise–do not buy a bularoo, no matter how good of deal
if you must but a Best kite stick with a Walroo
there is a reason theses kites sell so cheap

That’s great to hear that Australian Naish contingency stands by its product like this. As for this being a “one-off”, not likely given the number of these incidents we’ve seen here in the SF Bay area…or maybe it’s just our water :)
