If you have young kids I would recoimmend Beaches resort at Turks and Caicos, it is great for kids, 5 star and depending on the wind direction you can kite in front of the hotel or go to Long Beach which is a 15 minute cab ride on the other side of the island where you have a beautiful bay that is s...

Re: Cabrinha xbow 11 or 13m?

My logic for going with the 14 SB and the 10 CB is that I figured the 14 can take me from 12 to 18 knots plus its a faster kite so it will probably be more fun than the CB 13 in light winds and the 10 CB can be used from 15 knots up and it will provide me with a bigger range specially on the upper e...

Re: Cabrinha xbow 11 or 13m?

I am thinking of going with the 10m crossbow but I am wondering which kite would be a better match for it, the 13m Crossobow or the 14m switchblade? I weigh 90kg, and ride mostly in 10 to 25 knot winds.

Re: Cabrinha xbow 11 or 13m?

How easy is the 13m to relaunch ?

How light does the wind have to be before it falls out of the sky?

Re: Cabrinha switchblade vs Crossbow

thanks for the great feedback, I have a couple of more questions The bottom end is good but it's a little more technical to get the range. The SB is easier to whip around to work the bottom end. The XB likes to be flown more smoothly. According to our local weather station we are riding in 3-4 knots...

Any feedback on either kite and their dif...
