Empowering Women in Watersports
Naish works closely with pro rider Nadja to understand the needs of women riders. Boards in attractive colors and sizes suited for typical female builds give newcomers approachable options. Nadja also finds Naish foils and boards like the ADX Nvision and Hover Wing Foil Ascend Carbon Ultra 42L provide the control and feedback that boost her confidence in big air tricks.
Beyond gear, Naish supports Nadja's women's clinics. These empowering sessions led by a relatable role model create a supportive space for women to progress at their own pace.
Naish's female-focused approach is paying off. As Nadja explains, women feel more empowered in sports like wing foiling that minimize safety concerns. This allows them to focus on skills versus equipment handling. Communities of women riders like Nadja’s squad provide continued encouragement too.
