You need to get over the past, Cabrinha did!
The killer C kite mentioned did not have recon, it had an excellent 5 line setup. It was the 2005/2006 CO2, and they were really good C kites.
Have no idea about them making another one though, have not heard the rumour other than here today.

I doubt it, but Ozone and Eclipse have already said they are going to add a c kite to their 2010 range of SLEs

Steve you got it in one that C02 was so sweet, real shame to discontinue it.
It is great news that more companies are Bringing back C kites into there Line up, i heard that Naish make the Torch as it really dosnt cost them much to do it as the other kites in the Range pay for it?
Surley this would apply to Cabrinha being the number 1 brand for Sales? they must be able to afford a Run of C kites?
. I have recently spent some time in Cape town, where as you can imagine there are alot of kites on the water every day. and i have to say the majority of standout riders weather in Waves or Freestyle are Riding C kites. I mean no dis-respect to the Bow/Hybrid Riders as for sure there were guys Killing it on them aswell.
I myself have spent the Last year trying out Hybrid kites, and i must admit i find myself going back to the Trusty C kite, what more do you want the Fuel 2009, Torch 09, or Vegas do everything that you could ever want.
enjoy, and good winds to all

My dealer just told me briefly about the 2010 range from cabrinha. Di dent pay a tension.
Haven't you heard/seen any thing about the 2010 range as a importer?? Or is it just not time for a open forum talk about it.

Yes, this C kite should be available towards the end of 2009.
It will replace the Revolver HD as a wave / free style kite.
In the meantime, you can always ride the switchblade 4, it has nice lift capacity for freestyle

That would be great to see Cabrinha steping back and admiting they were wrong...
where is that bla bla bla when the first bows came about C kites are obsolete. What we saw is that bows became obsolete much sooner than Cs
and ppl now are going back to Cs. I'm glad I stuck if Cs all the time. tried many bows and SLEs but never thougth they were better .
ahhh...Delta C is just another hype. They even put a C in the name of kite trying to be fashion
