Re: North reach vs cabrinha switchblade (3s vs 5s)

it really depends on what year SB you are referring to. The new 04 SB is very fast but still offers quite a lot of power.

Re: The New Cabrinha Switchblade

It's funny. Remember when people used to purchase products based on how they rode? Now people are more swayed by marketing of a material than just a great flying and durable product. Try the new SB against any high performance free ride kite of any material and it will come up near the top the major...

Re: 2024 Cabrinha Nitro v2 Review - vs Orbit Pro & DLAB

I'd be very interested to see the Nitro 2 8-meter tested against the Evo DLab 8 meter for a like for like comparison. So much effort went into the design of the Nitro 2 in the area of kite speed, recovery, and stability that I'd have to guess that the 8's would be slightly closer than one may think ...

Re: Future Kites-Wings will be around 25 PSI +

That's the issue with the airframes already. Canopy get's totally trashed with the compost LE's and struts. Switching up canopy material to avoid premature degrading adds massive $$$ for nominal performance differences. Kind of reminds me of windsurfing rigs going up to 3K-4K each and lasting under ...

Try the Cabrinha Moto X or Moto X Apex! Even the Drifter is super fast to turn with little pull.

Re: Cabrinha Apex kites

Ultra HT has been noticed for sure. You will see it pop up in another brands high performance series but marketed different under an already utilized acronym. It took time to iron out the application process with Ultra HT to avoid the inherent issues that come with implementing new school materials....

Re: Cabrinha 2024 Nitro Wildcard Colorway

There is actually a reason that this kite is only produced with while LE and struts. The high performance Ultra HT is a next level, laminated material that has a different finish from front to back side. Cabrinha’s unique construction process that reduces turning bias requires the panels to be mirro...
