Cabrinha 04

Often imitated, but never equaled, the Drifter remains the go to kite for anything to do with waves on directional boards.

As the name suggests, the kite is synonymous with it’s Drift ability.  Put it in position and ride down the line, the kite gives you the confidence to concentrate on the wave ahead instead of having to fly the kite.

But the Drifter offers much more than that. The first production kite to be triple looped, the Drifter is also at home in the air.

This Lite Series kite is the most reactive Drifter kite to date, allowing you to put the kite where you want it in the air, no matter what style of riding you are doing.

Whether you are taking to the skies for Strapless Big Air, charging down the line on a screaming point break or ripping wind swell, the Drifter will always deliver.

Apex noun:  the highest point or most successful part of something.

What can you do to an already incredible kite.  You give it the Apex treatment.

With a lighter feel and even more playful handling, the Moto X Apex version is a true testament to the Apex Series of kites.

The use of Ultra HT for the main airframe aids in stability, steering and also recovery due to the incredible bias elongation controls.  Combine this with the use of the Aero spliced bridle line, and new lighter weight bladders, you have the lightest 3 strut kite in the Cabrinha range to date.

Threshold winds have always been the toughest challenge to any kite designer.   Do you make a powerful kite, but sacrifice turning and playfulness, or do you make a light kite, but sacrifice the low end power that get’s you up and going.

Building off the highly successful Moto X platform with the combination of the materials used in the Apex Series, Pat Goodman was able to skillfully handcraft the perfect blend between power and fun.

The lightweight Ultra HT and the new lighter weight bladders bring down the weight, but also aid in the fun lively feel of the kite.

The Moto XL Apex is the kite you need in your quiver.   The ultimate session saver, it will have you coming off the water with that look on your face which makes everyone know just how much fun you had.

Last year we introduced the big air evolution of the Nitro to the kite market, and it delivered.

One of the most anticipated kites, grasped the kite world by the horns and took riders to all new heights.

For 04 the Nitro is back again and through the work of the Cabrinha International Big Air team and the crew at Design Works, we have taken yet again another evolutionary jump forwards.

Refined profiles to help maintain canopy support during extreme tricks and the new 7 point Apex bridle gives the riders the support and confidence they need to not only do the tricks, but to also provide them with the feedback they need through the bar during the tricks.

The ultimate wingman, the new Nitro will not only help you go to the next level but will also be there with you for the ride of your life.

The Xcal wood is packed full of performance enhancing features to get you up to speed in a flash and it’s here where it excels giving the rider a completely locked in and controlled ride.  What you do in this moment is in your hands, whether you release into the stratosphere or load the rail into a powered takeoff.  High speed landings are absorbed with ease through the centre double concave shape.

The Xcal Carbon is the most responsively tuned board in the Cabrinha range leading to exceptional freestyle performance.  The most important stage of any trick is the take off and it’s here where the specific use of Japanese Toray carbon construction and the aggressive quad tip channels produce explosive & predictable pop.  

High speed landings are absorbed with ease through the centre double concave shape.  When sheer performance is all that matters the Xcal carbon is your go to stealthy performer.

The stylus has redefined kiteboarding in lighter winds.  What is really impressive though is its top end performance.  

While care has been made for optimal efficiency for light wind planing and control its stiff flex, light weight paulownia core allows you to still take to the air and take advantage of less than perfect wind conditions.  

The Stylus is no light wind ‘Door’ and you’ll be thankful of its feature rich design long after the wind picks up.  Its light wind rocker will get you planing while others are still stood watching from the beach deliberating.

The XO is a high performance freestyle / freeride model that is optimized for lighter weights and generally smaller riders.

The flex pattern is softer for a smoother ride and the stance widths are slightly narrower than the rest of our range.

Just when you thought a product couldn’t get better, the new H-Series MkII pushes into the future of foil design and sets a new benchmark for efficiency and performance.  The design team have implemented new technology learnt from the collaboration with Sintef.  Water testing in the biggest tank in Europe has refined the H-series tip shape to allow the tips to breach and re-enter without cavitation.  This allows more progressive riding and radical turns, be it with a kite, wing or prone.  The new leaner profile now boasts an increased speed range which helps entry into freestyle tricks or on the race field.  It seamlessly pairs with any of Cabrinha’s V-series stabs and is part of the modular Cab Fusion system. 

X1240 kit includes: Wing X1240 / Stabilizer V200 / Fuselage 346MM / Screw Set / T-nut Train / Torx Tool

X1650 Kit includes: Wing X1650 / Stabilizer V230 / Fuselage 346MM / Screw Set / T-nut Train / Torx Tool

When we introduced the X-Series wings, we took Cabrinha’s foil program to a whole new level. Through working alongside SINTEF and the University of Norway where we were able to fully breakdown and simulate hydrofoil performance in the world's largest cavitation tank. From this we have been able to further evolve the X-Series into the industry’s leading all round hydrofoil. Early lift, but with a high top speed has been achieved, and through refined tip shape and profile, you are able to break the tips free, but still be ready to carve into your next turn.
