Title: 6.0 Naish S26 and 6.0 Ensis v2
Post by: Keys Sup on February 28, 2021, 05:33:42 PM

Still learning but it's time to flip the Naish S25 6.0m. Does the Ensis v3 come out soon? Would Ensis v2 be better than the Naish S26? Thanks for any help.

I can’t answer that, but I can tell you about the one feature that is most impressive in all the new stuff I’ve demoed. The ability to slide your hands is priceless. So much easier to ride, pump, do everything really.

So boom-ish designs.

You can slide both hands for optimal trim, with the Echo, Ensis, Cabrinha Mantis, Epic, Airush, and rear hand only, a little bit, with the Fone Strike.

Hey Dwight,
Since i understand you’ve tried them, how do you compare the Mantis and the Strike? Thanks!

I didn’t ride them enough to pick a winner.

Live2Kite says v3 will probably come out in June sometime. My season starts June so I will flip S25 then.
