Cab Contra 2018 15m; can please someone weigh it?

Postby omg » Tue Jan 22, 2019 1:44 pm

I am close to buying the 15m Contra, but would really like to know the weight of the kite beforehand, so could someone be so kind and weigh it, please?

Thank you very much! :thumb:

Thanks very much!

However, if someone had first hand info, ie. weighted the kite by him/herself, that would be awesome and much appreciated because one shop told me that it’s appx. 12lbs! which is quite different and very heavy indeed.

My 2016 15m Contra weighs 5kg incl bag. The bar is an aditional 1.1kg. I assume similar for the latest models.

Thanks very much. I was only interested in the kite without the bag as I don't fly the bag nor travel with the bag when trying to cut down the weight.

switchblade 14m 2018 is 4.1kg (without the bag of course), so 100 grams heavier than the Contra 15m.
