Kites
For inflatable leading edge technology, Check out the new Cabrinha Switchblade 3 Kiteboarding Kites. Totally re-designed for 2008, this kite is significantly better than the previous models. Built with new materials, it is extremely well built. Faster response and amazing upwind drive.
The newest kite on the market that really impressed us is the Eclipse Thruster Kiteboarding Kites! Chekc out the incredible new bar system with the adjustment for the de-powering range. The quick release safety system is the best we have ever seen! As if this wasn't enough, the kite is a true hybrid kite, with the de-powering range of a bow kite and the relaunch of the bow kite, but the control of a C kite! Super fast kite with the lightest bar pressure of any kite we can find!
Looking for a low wind kite, the Cabrinha Contra Kiteboarding Kite is specifically built for low wind performance.
The low cost kite is the Cabrinha Element. this is essentially last years CO2 kite, but for a more attractive price to bring more performance to you for less money! These packages are available with the new Prodigy Kiteboard!
Recon is equipped on all the 2005 Cabrinha kites.
Imagine being able to side launch your kite immediately by simply pulling on one of the outside lines! This makes water relaunching a cinch and the safety release is second to
none.
The ever popular 2004 Cabrinha Access still delivers the best performance for those getting into the sport, but on a tight budget. Now you can get into kiteboarding for far less than you might expect. Access 12.0 kites complete dropped from $963.00 to only $799.00 for the 2004 models, while they last!! Packages with the new Prodigy twintip kiteboard are only $1099.00 for a 12.0 square meter RECON equipped Access kite with the control bar, flying lines, pump, kite backpack, and cdrom and a ready to ride Prodigy kiteboard. There isn't a safer kite on the market!
2005 Cabrinha RECON Equipped CO2, Nitro, and Contra kiteboarding kites are leading the way with a definite technical advantage. The proof is in the kite. If you get a chance to try one of these Lift or Lift Pro kites you will quickly realize that the hang time with these kites is far superiour than any other kite available.
Specials on Used Kites and Closeout Model Kites Available Now
Looking for a great bargain? - Check out our section of used kites and close-outs models. Currently, we have the low wind Phoenix 21 and the Gaastra GXR 19.5 available at an incredible price. Tired of being grounded, you will be the envy of the beach with these amazing low wind monsters. The Phoenix has re-defined the low wind barrier. Not only are these kites as large as a school bus, but they are amazingly nimble for their size.
This is accomplished with a unique double leading edge system. The leading edge of the kite is two parallel tubes instead of one super large tube. This decreases the drag created by leading edges larger than my waist line. Result a super fast powerhouse kite that will allows me to jump on a 136cm board in 8 mph of wind! I used to ride a 170 and just hope to be able to go upwind in 8 mph, now I am shredding in 8-12mph!
