I haven't heard much chatter, but the full line of 2020 Naish foils are available on their website. No specs but they look awesome. And it appears they are in stock and selling now. The 2020 boards look sweet too!

I am hesitating between This new Naish and the Axis. Love the Abracadabra idea ! If you have pictures of the big wing I would love to see them. My main focus is Dock starting
Yes Naish 2020 is now live and it is very exciting.
The Jet line up is best seen in person to get the real impression, but here's a quick few differences,
- All new front wings. New outlines, new shapes, new profiles. More powerful, smoother turning (yes smoother!) and lighter again. Sizes are now all relative to their projected area - 1050, 1250, 1650, 2000 & 2450. Plus some treats coming very soon in two High Aspect wings in 1400 & 1800.
- All new rear wings. These have made probably the biggest change. Way more powerful, heaps looser but also heaps more effective. New sizes measured in projected area. 210, 320 & 450.
- Upgraded Abracadabra. Stronger, stiffer and much easier to fit and remove on ANY board!
- All new Mast lengths. 65cm, 75cm, 85cm and 95cm.
Super impressive. In stock in most Dealers.
Ride safe,

What's the compatibility with 18/19 parts? Obviously the fuselage connection to the stab has changed, but will 2020 wings fit 18/19 fuselage, and is the mast size compatible across 2018 - 2020?
How stiff are the masts?
Masts are still industry leading stiffness to weight and still very well priced.
TefGel still needed ?
Tefgel was never needed, just good foil care. But yes you can choose to use Tefgel if you please. I find cleaning your foil the best way to ensure it is always ready to go.

100% Interchangeable all the way back to Malolo (yes the Malolo rear wing fit the 2020 Fuselage). We also have an adapter to 2020 Stabilizers to the 2018/19 Fuselages. All front wings fit all fuselages. All masts fit all mounts and fuselages.

Sweet .
Cheers JB.
What about the pumping ability of this new foil regarding the new incoming GF and Axis ?
Technically I'd say the "ability" is still 98.9% with the rider. But yes HA wings can produce an amazing amount of thrust when pumped correctly. Naish's new HA wings a definitely no different. But the new Jet wings all have a more efficient shape and coupled with the new Stab I find easier to pump again (the Thrust line were already easy imho).
here I am pumping around in next to nothing on the 1650 JET on the Wake 5'0".
