Convert

All-Round Freeride

The Convert bow kite is a reflection of the people who do our sport. Rugged, with a sense of ease. The Convert is simply the easiest and most secure way to get yourself up and riding in the shortest amount of time, with the least amount of hassles.

The Convert is a full scale Bow kite from leading edge to trailing edge. This design delivers an incredibly wide wind range, stable easy handling and perhaps the most important feature on any kite ..... an enhanced relaunch function that is second to none.

RELAUNCH ON COMMAND

The Convert’s relaunch capability is so easy that your hands never have to leave the control system. By simply pointing the end of the control system towards the kite, the wing tip will rise off of the water and launch the kite into the sky. Unlike other relaunch methods, The Convert allows you to decide when to launch the kite and which direction it goes into the air. Its simple... and it keeps the control in your hands... where it should be.

Two of the elements credited for the Convert’s amazing relaunch are: The curved shape of the leading edge and the swept wing tips. Together they allow the kite to “unstick” by reducing contact to the water or snow when the leading edge is face down. The constant curvature of the leading edge allows the kite to easily roll onto a wing tip and lift off the water.

The Bow kite bridle is also responsible for allowing you to choose the direction you would like to launch the kite. This clearly puts the Convert in a class of its own amongst a sea of hybrid kites which don’t allow this function. This important function becomes an added safety feature when your kite is sitting next to an obstacle like rocks, a pier, other riders or swimmers.

For example: if you want to lift the right facing wing tip just point the right side of the control system directly at the kite and hold until the wing tip rises off of the water. When the kite launches you can easily control how fast or how slow you’d like it to fly.

If you want to speed up the relaunch process you can always just grab a leader line instead, flip the kite on its side and shoot it up into the sky. The Convert’s easy relaunch sets a new standard in kite control. Simple. Fast. And at your command.

The feature packed Convert comes standard with: Sprint. Our single point inflation system. You can easily inflate the kite by connecting the pump to a single valve.

Override 2. The ability to depower on demand by just pushing the control bar away from the rider.

The Convert comes with our versatile Powerdrive 2N1 S control system. The 2N1 S control system allows you to ride in either the 2:1 pulley mode or the 1:1 mode with the pulleys disabled.

In 2:1 mode the pulleys effectively double the steering, powering and depowering inputs. For the amount of distance you move the control bar you effectively double the reaction on the kite. This creates precision control, rocket fast turning, and puts you in charge of your kite at all times.

In 1:1 mode the disabling of the pulleys virtually eliminates all bar pressure and provides a smooth power and depower band. Great for freeriding and unhooked wakestyle riding. The Powerdrive 2N1 S comes with our Bypass leash.

If you are looking for an all round freeride kite that will perform in a wide variety of conditions and riding styles. One with an industry leading relaunch system, look no further than the Convert kite from Cabrinha.

DURABILITY

A new robust construction with transitional strut reinforcements and higher strength materials in the durability prone areas.

The Convert tackles durability with a tough Dacron leading edge, struts, trailing edge and wing tip areas. These areas transition into the canopy with transitional strut reinforcement materials, creating a solid framework around the canopy.

Revolver

The Revolver HD is coming your way this season as our premier dedicated surf kite. The brief we gave our chief designer Pat Goodman, was to build us a kite that is: Fast turning. High Depowering. Responds immediately to edge input. And is built with the most durable strength to weight ratio materials available to us. The result is nothing short of spectacular.

The Revolver HD is your personal power source for true kite surfing. Its as close as it gets to the real thing with the added benefits of power to get you in and out of the line up. Tow yourself into a wave with the Revolver and feel what it is like to actually surf without having the kite over-power your turns.

The Revolver HD’s defining characteristic is that its right there when you need it... and virtually invisible when you don’t.

The conservative amount of Pro Span™ Extreme makes the Revolver incredibly stable. But more so, it makes it turn on a dime. The Revolver’s inherent turning speed allows you to surf tight in the pocket and put the kite wherever you need it in an instant.

The new frontier in kitesurfing has come full circle back to its surfing roots. Cabrinha, the company founded on the very core of surfing now brings you the ultimate surf kite. The Revolver HD.

If you are looking for a surf kite with the technology of the future but the soul of surfing’s past..... look no further than the Revolver HD

DURABILITY

The Revolver HD tackles durability with transitional strut panel materials and reinforced LE closing seams. We have reinforced the high load areas of the kite with a transitionally weighted material. This well placed material acts as a buffer zone between the rigid strut areas and the canopy. The closing seams now have an additional layer of material and a layer of Mark Cloth to handle the higher demand put on them by todays riders.

x-bow 3

It hard to imagine that just 3 short years ago the Crossbow launched an entirely new level of performance and security that changed the face of kitesurfing. Today, in keeping with the philosophy that performance and security are no longer mutually exclusive, the Crossbow 3 brings you maximum performance, efficiency and security wrapped into a single kite. This makes the Crossbow 3 the ideal Freeride kite; a kite which can span many riding styles and categories.

The Crossbow has one of the widest wind ranges in our kite offering. The efficiency of this kite led to the creation of the “two kite quiver”. A unique condition in which two kites will handle the needs of most riders. A situation where less is definitely more.

The performance in the Crossbow 3 comes from the flatter, Pro Span™ Extreme arc and is fast flying profiles. The combination of these two produce more power per square meter than a conservative arc classic kite. Enough power to match the Crossbow’s legendary hang time reputation or to propel you into your next trick. The pin point control of the power comes from the Crossbow’s ability to depower on demand. You can fully depower the kite at anytime just by placing the bar into the Override™ mode.

Made to withstand the rigors of everyday abuse, the durably constructed Crossbow 3 lets you ride with confidence knowing your kite is up to the task.

If you are looking for high hangtime, trick riding, or just freeriding, the Crossbow 3 is the kite for you

The Switchblade 3 has a familiar feel of a classic kite with the increased performance and security of a flatter, high depower kite. With no pulley’s on the control system there is virtually no bar pressure.

Contra 3

Where Light Wind and Performance Unite

The third generation of our highly refined Contra kite raises the bar in light wind performance kiting. Designed to get the absolute best performance in light wind conditions, the Contra is made to deliver the speed and agility of a small kite and power and pull of a big kite.

The secret lies in our highly tuned profiles which produce much faster flying speeds. These profiles allow the kite to fly from point A - B in the power window much quicker and keep the kite feeling lively in the sky. This translates to overall better performance in marginal wind conditions.

The new Contra delivers much more than just performance. It covers all areas of Security, ease of use and durability that you would expect from Cabrinha.

The Contra Bow kite has everything you need to perform in the light wind arena, and nothing you don’t need. Light wind is no longer a second rate alternative. Thanks to the Contra, your spectrum of great riding conditions just got expanded.
