I have a 2011 Cabrinha Crossbow 13m. I am starting to notice that my depower strap doesn't always release to full power. It seems like its jamming, although i've cleaned it and the strap is not frayed. Its so bad that i have to come off the water and manually release the strap. Anyone else have this...

Hopefully I can help I would say that the 2013 18m crossbow is arguably the best crossbow I've flown in terms of overall performance. It has tremendous range, great upwind (disclaimer, I'm a racer), and has gotten me out on the water in the dog days of the florida summer. I use this kite primarily ...

So, recently I traded in my Jimmy Lewis Supermodel 136 for a Rogue Wave 138. I have a JL Flightdeck for light winds and crazy upwind, but I was noticing that I had a lot of trouble keeping the Supermodel upwind. I finally decided to sell the Supermodel and try out a 138 Rogue. I must say, this board...

I will say the cab lines need tuned on a regular basis, but otherwise, no complaints and love the 18m. Glad you mentioned that. I have had to tune my 13 about 3 times so far and it was bought new this year, i thought i had a faulty kite. I guess all the xbows are the same, im guessing because they ...

WjM, Seriously dude? I own the 2013 18m xbow and have 3 sessions on it already! Just about everything you blasted about the Xbow is total BS! First off, the new 5 strut design along with all the other refinements have increased the turning speed imensely! The kite is much lighter now and has many s...

I cannot speak for an 18m but I have the 2012 CB LW 5 strut series in 9, 13 and 16m. The 16m will fly in stay in air at 5 knots but I need 13 to pull me up. I am 280lbs. This is on a Spleene Monster door. If winds are sustained after that at 11, I can stay up. I can hold onto it to about 20 knots. ...

Yeah, i thought there wasnt much difference between the 2012 and 2013s because they had switched to the 5 strut. I was also thinking about upgrading my 7 strut 13 to the new 5 strut 13 for the weight difference. Post subject: Re: Can someone review the Cabrinha Crossbow 18m for me plea I have tested...

You're specifically thinking about 2013 model? Cos they look higher AR that 2012 etc... 2012 or 2013. I can get a good deal on 2012 closeouts anyways right now and the 13s are so new I doubt many have ridden them yet. True - but check the specs if you can cos the '13 XB looks much higher AR than '1...
