Cabrinha News:
Cabrinha has just launched the largest product collection in the history of the brand
Nitro Big Air Kite
PERFORMANCE FREERIDE / BIG AIR
SIZES: 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 12
In 2004 Cabrinha took big air kiting to a new level with the Nitro. A kite that was ahead of its time, it powered riders to the top of the podiums around the world. 19 years later we have broken the boundaries in the big air realm and are bringing it back to our roots.
The Nitro is back. A Pat Goodman design from Cab Design Works, which is the pinnacle of Big Air kiting.
Development was a no holds barred approach to see just what could be created to reach the extremities of height and stability. An Apex series product, the Nitro utilizes the most cutting edge materials, purposely developed for use in inflatable structures to be flown in the extreme demands of big air kiting. With phenomenal warp and weft elongation strength, especially under load, Ultra HT material keeps the kite in a stable arc, but the reactive bias movement allows the kite to turn even when under increased pressure allowing the kite to really fly and recover from loops.
The sport of Big Air kiting is more extreme now than ever before. Tricks, which were individual in the past are now combined into one jump, and the demands on the product have never been higher. To ride to the extremes, you need a kite that will get you there, and the Nitro is that kite.

Contra 3S Kite
PERFORMANCE LIGHTWIND / FREERIDE
SIZES: 13 / 15 / 17
20 years ago, the Contra took light wind riding to a new level. It has graced the quivers of many kiters throughout the past two decades acting either as their all-round everyday kite, or as the ultimate session saver.
This year sees the largest evolution to the Contra legacy.
Through the use of HTD Lite and the Lite Frame technology we have been able to reduce the weight of the kite by 15%, allowing it to perform even better in those threshold winds.
The three-strut design makes this kite the go to for light wind twin tip riding, and also makes it the best jumping light wind kite we have ever developed.

FX2 Kite
FREESTYLE / CROSSOVER
SIZES: 7 / 8 / 9 / 11 / 13
Air and style are two words synonymous within the board sport industry. Most people develop their skills to achieve one or both of these terms, but to really master them both, you need a product that will allow you to get there.
A true crossover kite, the FX2 gives riders the tools to take to the sky in the Big Air realm delivering fast powerful loops with amazing catch ability, but with a change of bridle, they then have a no compromise freestyle machine that will allow you to push your limits and the boundaries of what you thought possible.
The new Hybrid Frame and HRD Lite materials have further increased the range of the FX2 to allow for an increased low end range, and also maneuverability in the higher winds and during double loops.

Drifter Kitesurfing Kite
SURF / FREESTYLE SURF
SIZES: 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13
One kite that has become synonymous with Cabrinha is the Drifter. A kite that does what its name says. A kite that allows kiters to experience the power of the ocean, a kite that lets you focus on the job at hand instead about worrying about where it is, or what is doing. With multiple world titles behind it and more barrel time than any other kite in the market, the new Drifter has taken the next evolutionary leap in delivering an expanded ocean experience.
The all-new Lite Frame and HTD Lite material, gives the most reactive Drifter kite to date, allowing you to put the kite where you want it in the air, no matter what style of riding you are doing.
Whether you are taking to the skies for Strapless Big Air, charging down the line on a screaming point break or ripping wind swell, the Drifter will always deliver.

Contra Aether Kite
PERFORMANCE LIGHTWIND / FREERIDE
SIZES: 4 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 11
There is something truly liberating and free when riding a Hydrofoil. This is further heightened when you are able to ride in winds that were not previously thought possible. Conditions where the water is still, and the only noise is the apparent wind in your ears as you glide across the ocean.
The Contra Aether has proven its self as a bench mark in the single strut kite realm. A kite that not only allows you explore these threshold winds, but also keeps you in control when the winds pick up, or you change your choice of board.
The single strut design and the use of the Hybrid Frame and HRD Lite materials, gives you an incredibly nimble and light kite to fly, allowing you to use much smaller sizes of product to maximize foil boardings true potential. Feather weight control and amazing drift characteristics allow you focus on your riding and not the kite.

Moto X Kite
VERSATILE FREERIDE CROSSOVER
SIZES: 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 12 / 14
From the evolution of electric vehicles, through to being able to carry a computer in our pockets we are surrounded by innovation, and in the Cabrinha range this is most noticeable in the all-new Moto X.
In what was already the most versatile kite in the range, we have taken the performance to an all-new level through not only the latest material advancements from the Cab Design Works Team, but also a new innovative design from Pat Goodman. A kite that can be flown anywhere, by anyone. A kite that allows you to choose the way you ride. A kite that will take you to the next level of riding.

Operating System [Overdrive Trimlite]
ADJUSTABILITY, CUSTOMIZATION & SIMPLICITY
SIZES: S/M (42-50) / M/L (47-55)
The most critical piece of equipment in kiteboarding is the Control System. A system that you not only you rely on for your safety and well being, it’s also the direct link between you and the elements.
A lot of work goes into Kite Design. The Cab Design Works Team works countless hours tuning and modifying the way a kite feels in order to make it the highest performing product on the market. In order to get the most out of all the work, you need a control system that gives you a direct connection to the kite. This connection needs to be intuitive and seamless in use, allowing you to focus on having the most fun in the elements.
Introducing the COS.
The goal in the development of the COS was to make its use so easy, that the rider can concentrate on their next jump, or wave.
This is the most feature rich control system to date, but the package is so simple and intuitive to use that anyone can feel the full benefits.
