Naish Traverse EJ 2026 Kiteboard

Ewan Jaspan’s signature freestyle board

The Naish Traverse EJ 2026 Kiteboard is the latest pro model from Ewan Jaspan, two-time KPL (Kite Park League) World Champion, known for his creative and versatile riding style. Ewan is famous for blending disciplines: from park and freestyle to freeride and foiling. For this board, he worked closely with Naish to create a new shape that reflects his unique way of riding. The long and narrow outline allows the board to move smoothly and fluidly through the water while making carving easier. This board should be ridden one size larger than usual; for example, a rider who normally rides a 138 cm board should choose a 144 cm with the Traverse EJ. The rounded tips provide controlled turns and a consistent release when popping.

New for 2026 is a lighter construction with more flex in the tips. This gives the Traverse EJ extra rebound during take-offs and landings, without losing stiffness in the center. The continuous rocker ensures super smooth riding and prevents spray in your face while still delivering solid pop and soft landings. The board comes with a sintered base, a super durable material designed to withstand heavy use and impact from park obstacles like sliders and kickers. This keeps the bottom in good condition for longer. The Traverse features a clean, smooth shape with stiff rails on the deck and subtle grip channels on the base. This provides grip and control when needed but allows the board to release smoothly for tricks. The low flex and torsion offer direct feedback and added durability. The new haptic handle is slightly taller, making it easier to grab. For riders who want to do board-offs, the handle can optionally be fitted with 15 mm risers.

This makes the Traverse EJ 2026 a board for riders seeking versatility and durability. Whether you’re hitting park obstacles, practicing freestyle tricks, or enjoying a freeride session, this board delivers stability, soft landings, and a comfortable feel — perfect for advanced to pro riders who like to ride creatively and with style.
