Naish Matador LT Review on SUPboarder

[@veskupaananen]

Good review, thanks. FYI 6m2 Matador LT has a center strut deflate valve. Would be a great feature in 5m2 too.

Thanks for the info!

A strut deflate valve would be a good shout on all sizes. I find the skinny tube kinks often and stops it deflating easily. Ta

Would this be okay to learn on, with the 5m version?

[@SUPboardermag]

Hi Adrian, yes, it would be possible to learn on of course but as a moderately powerful wing it wont be the easiest. As its a nice wind for flagging out ( stable) it has several qualities that also make it good for learning on too ( neutral lift, loose canopy). Wing development is moving forward very quickly and NOW this is certainly more suited to learning on that some of most recently launched wings such as the Naish ADX which is more technical to use. You could also check out wings like the Starboard GO and Naish Mk4 both great beginner wings. Hope that helps, Will - SUPboarder

@SUPboardermag thanks very much. Seen a second hand one locally to me as don't want to get a new one until confident. Thanks for your reply.

I bought the S26 Matador Window model in 5.0. Some of the local guys said it wasn’t accepted when it came out a few years ago. I’m 205 with large gear a 127L downwinder and 1800 foil wing. Still learning. So the proof of use is still to be determined. I hope I didn’t blow this purchase at $400US. 😳

Is it possible to attach a leash (and if so which leash fits the Matador)

[@SUPboardermag]

It comes with a standard leash attachment so any good wing will fit on this. Hope that helps, Thanks Reuben

How heavy are these wings?

[@SUPboardermag]

Hey, sorry we don't have this wing anymore, so cant weight it for you. But its wasn't a heavy wing. Sorry we cant help more. Reuben
