The thing I remember about my 2 line Naish sky pirate was how hard it was to pump up: came with a tiny 'balloon" pump & short, stubby valves that you had to plug before the air came back out. The high aspect 4 line Wipika Airblast was the game changer.
I have an R3 Naish, impeccable state, incredibly solid, 2 lines rollable into a 4 meters. I'd love to know the year of built or any info ? Also if Robby wants if for his collection, I can send it to him. Just for the pleasure to see Kevin scared face because of the total absence of depower "back in the days" :-)
Love it . I've still got my original AR 5 two line and a tiny AR3.5. Got a bunch of old bars. I wish I had kept my Sky Pirate. We used to struggle so much to get upwind, and on the shore we were so overpowered it was lethal.

Love Robby's Kites since 2008. Please produce a new BOLT. Kind Regards from Vienna, Chris.

Some good memories there Peter!!
Dangerous but fun days back then....
I want to see what’s under cover!!!
Hawaiian legend or italian wannabee we all can appreciate the advantage of a 4 line kite!
Why does the pink kite look so small but powerful
Aspect ratio
Those old 2 line kites were always on full power.
I have 6 old naish kites ..every single one leaks due to the octopus system ?!?
They are 6 years old.......get yourself some new kites!
