Contra

From the company that brought you the revolutionary Crossbow and Switchblade kites, we introduce to you the all new Contra kite from Cabrinha. The Contra is designed from the ground up as a specialized light wind performance kite.
The Contra bow kite from Cabrinha has by-passed several generations of traditional design to emerge as the leading light wind specialized kite. What makes the Contra so incredible is its unmatched efficiency and performance in the light wind arena.

Through the use of Pro Span Extreme™, faster flying profiles, and the latest in cutting edge bow technology we are able to make your largest kite feel and behave

like a smaller performance kite. We have substantially reduced the Contra’s bar pressure through the use of our unique bridle configuration.

Light wind riding is no longer a second rate alternative. With the Contra’s incredible range of depower you can ride with confidence knowing that the power control is now where is should be.... right in your hands.

Crossbow

Complete Power Control
The Crossbow is essentially a flatter 4 line inflatable kite which has incredible efficiency and depower capabilities. The flat arc of the kite, also known as Pro Span Extreme, produces more raw power than a classic arc kite of the same size. The flatter arc and unique leading edge bridle are the elements responsible for the Crossbow’s incredible depowering capabilities. The Crossbow, together with our new 2 to 1 control system provides a level of security that can only be described as revolutionary. The sport has finally arrived in the 21st century and the Crossbow is here to announce its arrival.

Switchblade

Easy Handling / Bow Kite Performance
The Switchblade is the second kite in our series of revolutionary bow kites. The Switchblade uses the exact same technology as the Crossbow which has made a profound change in the performance and security of our sport. The Crossbow and the Switchblade are the industry leading kites which have introduced new levels of power, depower and security which all other kites are now judged by.

The Switchblade differs from the Crossbow mainly in its degree of Pro Span Extreme™. The Switchblade has a slightly rounder arc than the Crossbow which lends itself to smooth and easy handling. Especially when relaunching from the water. The less aggressive Pro Span Extreme™ means that the Switchblade has slightly less lift than the Crossbow but is incredibly more stable. The reduced lift means that the Switchblade is less influenced by gusty and unpredictable wind. The Switchblade kite is ideal for Wakestyle, Surfing, and Freeriding.
