Cabrinha Kiteboarding

No kite has done more in the sport of kitesurfing than the Switchblade. World Titles, World Records, Podium topping, all on a stock production kite that has also brought so many people not only into the sport, but given the perfect platform to evolve, improve and push their own boundaries of what they thought possible.

For 02 we have given the Switchblade a further performance boost. The redesigned and rebalanced bridle gives the option to not only increase the turning speed, but also lighten up the feel of the kite. A lighter faster kite not only extends the reach of this amazing product to different riders, but also allows for faster steering and control for jumping. The five strut stable frame of the Switchblade really comes into its own in the higher wind ranges. Here the legendary boost and hangtime of the Switchblade really shines.

Already into its 3rd iteration, the Cabrinha Crosswing X3 sets a new standard in efficiency and on-demand power.

Detailed work has been done by Cabrinha's R&D team. The wing foil profile and new radial canopy panel layout achieves the most high-performing and reactive wing to date.

Through an increased leading edge diameter with load distributing centre section construction, Cabrinha have created an exceptionally stiff framework. This is further enhanced by the Cabrinha Crosswing X3 innovative double strut. This framework gives the rider the ultimate feeling in efficiency and performance. In the lighter winds, where pumping and efficiency is required, and also in higher winds where stability and control are greatly increased.

Strategic window placements with the combination of the double strut, allow for a wide field of view.

Whether you are boosting to new heights or simply relaxing into your ride, take advantage of all of the Cabrinha Crosswing X3's new cutting edge technical attributes.

Combined with a pretensioned canopy, this gives a crisp high performing product that maintains its performance through a wider range of conditions.

Refined sizing and wingspans allow for more progressive power in the small sizes. The wingtip shape adjustment helps deflect water during start up, and also allows for deeper profiles to aid in power delivery.

Specifically designed for kitesurfing in waves and strapless surf freestyle, the Drifter has the ability to engage and disengage its power on command. While catching a wave you want all the power you need but while surfing, you often want the kite to completely disappear while you surf on your own power. Its in this moment of pure surfing where you want a kite that ‘drifts’ down the line with you in a stable and predictable way.

We dubbed this phenomenon Drift Stability and it is the crucial ingredient in a performance surf kite.

This is why the Drifter has no equal.

It puts air in your kite. Cabrinha pumps are the easiest to use and move the most air.2 sizes available and the XL is pictured

The 2020 Cabrinha X Caliber Wood is designed for intermediate to advanced riders looking for a freestyle model that can perform in varied water conditions.

Nothing beats the feel of a natural wood core when it comes to a high performance dampened ride. The X Caliber Wood shares the same shape as its carbon counterpart but has a completely different ride, especially in less than perfect water conditions. The wood construction absorbs the chop like no other giving you a softer ride and the ability to edge when the going gets tough. Better edging leads to better pop. And in freestyle, pop is everything.
