Cabrinha Caliber
Caliber Cabrinha When we speak of serious freestyle and free riding the Caliber steps up to the plate. With its lower rocker line the Caliber planes quickly and is able to fly upwind. It is considered as a huge asset when riding in less than favorable wind conditions as well as for staying in the defined competition area. The Caliber’s outline and flex pattern give the board incredible pop whether you are riding unhooked or hooked in. The new Caliber has extended the quad concave right through the center of the board to provide increased grip, and to diffuse the […]

The Cabrinha Team in Marshall Island’s
The Cabrinha team has found a spot that seems to be one of the best spots for kitesurfing in the world, the Marshall Islands! Crystal clear water, perfect waves, white sand, flat water and no other kiters! Actually I hope the Marshall Island’s remain free from kitesurfers, it would be a shame if this hidden pearl would turn into another spot that is totally crowded of kiteboarders. Besides I don’t think the corals and fishes would appreciate to get ripped up by fins and boards… Anyway, the Cabrinha team seems to be careful with the under water world, I like […]

Cabrinha Drifter 2012
The name Drifter says a lot about what kind of kite were talking about here. Yes, it’s a surf kite which you probably already knew. So what can we say about the Drifter? A friend of mine took out a 9m for a test ride in gusty conditions, 20-30 knots. Choppy water combined with a 5,4″ surfboard. Let’s start with the good news. The kite feels rigid almost as if there were rods instead of lines. It´s easy to pilot is whereever you want it without any annoying lag and no such moments when you´re waiting for the kite to […]

Cabrinha Crossbow vs Slingshot Rev II
Cabrinha Crossbow 2007 vs Slingshot Rev II 2009. I just bought some new kites, Slingshot Rev II, thought it would be interesting to see if Slingshot’s kites were better than my Cabrinhas. I have friends that kite with Slingshot kites and Ruben Lenten is also kiting with Slingshot, so you would think that the Slingshot kites are at least as good as Cabrinhas. My buddy rides with Slingshot Fuel kites, old c-kites from 2007. He is a good rider, but when it comes to jumping he never makes such huge jumps as make with my Cabrinhas. I have always thought […]

My jumpingkite is leaking :(
My best jumping kite, a Cabrinha Switchblade is leaking air… Luckily there is no wind this week, so there is plenty of time to fix it, but how to do it? The only way to be absolutely sure of where the slow leaks are coming from is to pull the LE bladder out and check. But first, we’d recommend checking the airlock valve itself. Be sure that the rubber o-ring is still in place on the under side of the valve. This piece looks similar to the rubber washer found in a common garden hose. Without that o-ring, the kite […]

Cabrinha Crossbow IDS leaking air
Two of my Cabrinha Crossbows, the 11m and 13m are leaking air and it’s very annoying to be forced to ride back to land after less than an hour of kiting, just to blow up the soft spongy kite again. I have emailed the support to Cabrinha and I´m currently waiting for their answer. This is what I just wrote to them: Hello! I have three Cabrinha Crossbow kites (9, 11 and 13), all from 2009 with the IDS system. They are all used, but not in excess and they are still in very good condition. However, I recently noticed […]

News from Cabrinha
I´ve been wondering if Cabrinha really makes the best kites on the market, so I simply asked Cabrinha of their opinion about which brand they think make the best kites, Cabrinha or some other brand. I got this honest answer. Thank you for your interest in Cabrinha kites. Your concerns are all valid, but there’s is no easy answer to you questions. First off, there is no such thing as the most superior kite on the market. This is the same as trying to pick the best car or truck out there. The answer will vary based on what is […]

Cabrinha Crossbow IDS – 13m Review
So I ended up buying the three kites I were talking about in the previous post. I got a good price for them, payed only $1500 for all three including 3 bars, pumps, bags, everything. So far I had two sessions with my 13m. My first reaction with this kite was the fact that the stopper was missing on the bar, where the hell is the fucking stopper was my first thought and I was a bit annoyed that it was gone. And it annoyed me in the water as well. I’m used to keeping the bar close to my […]

Cabrinha Kite Crossbow IDS 2009
An article has already been written about Cabrinha Crossbow 2011 edition, but I think the majority of all kiters buy second hand kites, so I think a review about the older Cabrinha Crossbow is in place, the 2009 version to be more precise. In fact I´m just looking to buy some new second hand kites, since my old 2007 Cabrinha Crossbow 9m and my 2008 Cabrinha Switchblade 12m is getting a bit to torn… or actually the kites are in great condition, but the bars are almost falling apart! A guy is selling three 2009 Cabrinha Crossbow IDS, sizes 9, […]

Freeride Kite #1
Freeride kite nr.1. No other kite has made a bigger impression in the kite history. When Cabrinha introduced Crossbow did they actually drastically change the conditions for kiting. Year 2011 is the 6th version of the classic freeride kite of Crossbow that Cabrinha releases. With crossbow are you getting a huge wind span and ability to kite in gusty winds like no other kites. I´ve been kiting myself with a 9 meter Cabrinha Crossbow in 23 m/s, with full depower, but still… Crossbows open arc design gives tons of lift and power. the crossbow is the kite for you that […]

2011 Cabrinha Crossbow IDS
Cabrinha has released its new type of the popular crossbow kite, the Cabrinha Crossbow IDS! So what is new and what is this IDS all about? The crossbow kite has always been Cabrinhas best free riding kite with a very good power / size ratio which can be explained by the kites profile which has a wide open arc which makes the kite excellent for those who are looking to be airborn as long as possible. The crossbow has always been known for being extremely easy to waterstart and the 2011 version does not make us disappointed on this point […]

I love Cabrinha!
My first post ever… I know that this site is not much to put in the christmas tree in this state, but bevare… My plan is to make this site into a site dedicated not only to kite surfers, but surfers who love to ride Cabrinha kites! Me myself has of course not tried every single kite brand out there, but a few… Cabrinha is by far the best kite brand I tried and simply love my cabrinhas. I have one crossbow and switchblade and will hopefully extend my collection with a nomad or a 2011 version later this year, […]
