Since its introduction, the Thorn has set the standard for high performance twin tips. The Thorn is tuned with the highest tension flex and most powerful outline shape. Pro riders will appreciate the positive response and reliable control the Thorn offers for advance freestyle, while intermediate freeriders benefit from the Thorn's massive wind range, lively speed and upwind efficiency.
The Thorn has a refined shorter and wider outline. This new outline offers a quicker planning and more controlled ride. The Thorn also has an all-new solid wood core. This Naish exclusive technology delivers performance and durability like never before.

Design:
- Response Flex= Naish's highest tension flex, the Response Flex, delivers ultra positive power and drive, eliminating the bounce for solid reliability and efficiency. Response flex is an integrated framework of specific sections with unique requirements. The section at and between the feet is the most rigid with overlapping reinforcements layers top and bottom. It retains energy with diagonal laminates from foot to fin. This section relies on specific bottom reinforcement from tip to tip to enhance overall flex as well as critical torsion control on the tips between the fins.
- S130 Outline= This rail outline template is one of keys to the performance in Naish kiteboards. Originally developed for Sol, it has become our standard. We never stray far from its general curve with refinements year to year and board to board. It has proved to be the ideal combination of solid tracking, power and pop.
- Tapering ABS Sidewalls
- Global Pro Performance = Designed for our international team's competition freestyle riding. The speed, pop, versatility and durability will also suit advanced freeriders.
Construction:
- T2-NASA Tech Core Laminate = Three laminate strips of carbon fiber in a framework system specifically oriented end to end on top and bottom work in conjuction with the new outline and new core taper of vertically laminated solid wood to engineer our Response Flex.
- Snowboard Finish
- Grav-D Strap System = The Naish exclusive, revolutionary Gravity Device quick-mount binding integrated system is better than ever with new mounting angle options and enhanced sizing adjustment range. Footstraps exclusively designed pre-twisted for shaping to match the top of your foot. Deckpads designed with 3-D shaping, full-grip texture and thick heal padding.
- Solid G10 5.0cm Fins = The lower section of the fin has a moderate thickness draft providing lift which is ideal for low-end power as well as maximum durability.the draft steps to a thinner foil at the upper section of the fin which is ideal for low drag at higher speeds. This stepped design offers the advantages of two designs in one fin.
