02 Cabrinha Switchblade Kite

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.

Available in sizes 5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/14m

02 Cabrinha Drifter Kite

It’s in the name...

Drift Stability is a term that was created and defined by this kite, and is often used by other brands but rarely duplicated. The worlds most iconic surf kite gives the rider the ultimate ability to quickly control the on off switch of the power, giving the ultimate verstilaity to either use the kites power, or the waves.

Available in sizes 4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/13m

02 Cabrinha FX2 Kite


Every coin has two sides, there are 2 sides to every story and there are two sides to the new FX2.

With a nod to its heritage, but with a completely updated design we have been able to push the performance of the FX2 further into the big air realm. Fast powerful loops with the ability to catch you on the way down. Height and hang time that this kite has not seen before. We have created a progressive modern flying machine that will take you to all new levels.
Keeping with the original Freestyle Crossover naming, we also have developed a pro level 6 line bridle system that gives the rider the C kite feel they are looking for to help with latest tricks which are needed to get onto the podium.

Available in sizes 7/8/9/11/13

02 Cabrinha Moto Kite

No matter what the conditions or what style of riding, the Moto has something for every rider.
The most versatile kite in our range, the Moto provides lightweight control and immediate response through its unique blend of Pure Arc Segments and Pure Profile segments. This gives the smoothest, cleanest arc shape on the market and an incredibly clean airflow.
Whether riding a twin, surfboard or hydrofoil, the Moto is the ultimate one kite does it all in the Cabrinha range.

Available in sizes: 5/6/7/8/9/10/12/14

02 Cabrinha Contra Kite

In 2003 a kite was launched to help people maximize their time on the water. The name became synonymous with the light wind riding, and has since become a staple in many kiters quivers.

The Contra 3 Strut continues this legacy and provides the rider with the ultimate blend of light wind power and agility to maximize time on the water in threshold winds.

Its supported 3 strut frame allows to not only drive forward when using more traditional selection of kiteboards, but it also provides a stable canopy and an increased high end range.

Available in sizes: 13/15/17m

For more info, please visit: https://www.cabrinha.com/products/contra-3-strut





02 Cabrinha Contra 1 Strut Kite

The Contra 1 Strut has quickly garnered a reputation as one of the best kites for lightwind freeriding and has proven a versatile addition to any kite quiver.

With its single strut design, this light and nimble kite allows the use of much smaller sizes to maximize foilboardings true potential. Featherweight control and amazing drift characteristics allow for low angles of attack while on foil, and the rear line tension increases steering impulse even when depowered.

This dynamic kite design will put an optimized Contra light wind kite in your hands whether you ride a twin tip, surfboard, or a foil board.

Available in sizes: 3/4/5/7/9/11m

For more info, please visit: https://www.cabrinha.com/products/contra-1-strut





02 Twin Tip Overview

In many ways the board you ride is a mirror image of who you are. It’s an extension
of your personality... your approach to your craft. And from the time your fins hit the water, your board becomes a seamless extension of your body. In order to get the most out of your kitesurfing aspirations, it is important to have the right tool for the job.

Cabrinha Mantis V2

The Mantis V2 has made large strides forward, building on the already popular Mantis wing platform. The sizing has been refined for better flow throughout the range with a narrower wingspan in the large sizes and more progressive power in the small sizes. The wingtip takes on a more square form to deflect well off the water while it has a deeper profile for smoother power delivery and increased dihedral and twist for stability. The canopy tension has been refined for a tight responsive feel with minimal flutter which is further enhanced by strategically placed EVA battens. The leading edge diameter has been further refined, culminating in an ultra-rigid frame.

The Mantis V2 showcases Cabrinha’s forward driving wing program and puts the ultimate in technology and efficiency into your hands to maximise water time and performance.

Available in window / no window & sizes: 2/2.5/3/3.5/4/4.5/5/6/7m

What do they mean, 02? The second year since getting the company back from the corporate empire?

They changed their new model release dates so they fall in the model year designated, 2021 was 01, 2022 is 02.

Actually, we just restarted the naming of our product collections starting with the first collection since the acquisition, :00. Then onto :01 Spring, :01 Fall, now :02 Spring, etc. There isn't a relationship with the year, just coincidence.

but a good coincidence! Easier to know which model it actually is...imagine the confusion if 02 would be 2023 or 2021 ;-)
