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.

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.

FEATURES

The new Neo SLS builds on the incredible legacy of the previous years and further enhances the rider experience. FeaturingHybrid Flex Struts, which are now straighter and a wider, squarer wing tip shape show the focus was set on further improving the handling of the kite. The result is a kite with smoother handling, faster steering and a shorter depower stroke, allowing you to dump power instantly. The Hybrid Flex Struts are controlled by the precisely tuned ratio of Penta TX and STW70 adjusted to each size. The percentage of flex material in the tip struts decreases as the size increases. The new wing tips open up and flex when under pressure from the back lines, making for a super fast and near-instant initiation into the turn. The legendary wind range remains, with plenty of low-end power allowing you to get out whatever the conditions, while the top end keeps you on the water for longer. The Neo SLS features a Penta TX and Trinity TX construction, which combines lightweight materials and exceptional durability, resulting in a kite that is noticeable lighter than regular constructions. This weight reduction enhances the drifting capabilities of the Neo SLS, allowing you to execute your moves effortlessly on the wave without worrying about the kite. Even when depowered with the bar pushed away, the Neo SLS maintains its dynamic handling and steering, ensuring you retain full control while riding the wave. The kite's responsiveness remains unchanged, providing a seamless experience throughout your session. To ensure the kite can be versatile and meet the demands of wave riders and strapless freestylers, the Neo SLS offers multiple settings on the tips, allowing you to tailor the kite's performance to the specific conditions of the day. Whether you're indulging in a flatwater strapless freestyle session or playing in the waves, you can set the kite for maximum pop and powerful loops or fine-tune it for maximum drift and rapid turning speed, depending on your preference and the nature of the session. 

The Neo SLS has long set a standard for wave riding performance, and this year the enhanced performance takes the kite to new levels, both on the waves and in the air.
