20 years ago, the Contra took light wind riding to a new level. It has graced the quivers of many kiters throughout the past two decades acting either as their all-round everyday kite, or as the ultimate session saver.

This year sees the largest evolution to the Contra legacy.

Through the use of HTD Lite and the Lite Frame technology we have been able to reduce the weight of the kite by 15%, allowing it to perform even better in those threshold winds.

The three-strut design makes this kite the go to for light wind twin tip riding, and also makes it the best jumping light wind kite we have ever developed.

One kite that has become synonymous with Cabrinha is the Drifter. A kite that does what its name says. A kite that allows kiters to experience the power of the ocean, a kite that lets you focus on the job at hand instead about worrying about where it is, or what is doing. With multiple world titles behind it and more barrel time than any other kite in the market, the new Drifter has taken the next evolutionary leap in delivering an expanded ocean experience.

The all-new Lite Frame and HTD Lite material, gives 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.

If there is one wing that has helped shape and define the sport, it’s the Mantis.

Now in its 3^rd generation the wing which set the benchmark for stability and rigidity has been further refined to maximize the true potential of wing foiling.

Increased convex dihedral has helped expand the range of the Mantis by providing an increased power to stability ratio, combined with the new Convex Strut the Mantis V3 is the cleanest and most efficient wing to date. A refined air foil section in the critical area of the kite has helped increase the low end power of the Mantis, further increasing its range of use.

High rigidity LE Inflatable, Low Dihedral with full powerful profile, Medium AR and convex strut.

FEATURES

NEW: Refined lightweight canopy design for reduced weight and reactive performance
High Tenacity dacron for enhanced dihedral stability and improved handling characteristics
HD large diameter UHMPWE reinforced closing seam construction
Nano Ripstop Canopy, the benchmark in durability, stability and responsiveness
NEW: Sprint 3.0
NEW: Durable TPU bumpers
NEW: Handles - Fully moulded composite widespan handles
Hi-vis, Weather resistant, low elongation TPU window

NEW: Dump valve for fast deflate

CONVEX DIHEDRAL

The increased Convex Dihedral has helped expand the range of the Mantis by providing an increased power to stability ratio.

LOAD PATH

The Load Path Panel Layout has been carefully designed to help mitigate the varying loads and elongation that occur on wings, translating into a cleaner and more structural product in a wider range of conditions.

REFINED FRAME

Refinements to the Frame of the Mantis V3 have allowed for a reduced weight, but increased reactive performance.

RIGID STRUT

The Convex strut on the Mantis V3 provides a stiffer and more reactive connection between the rider and wing.

HD LARGE DIAMETER CLOSING SEAM

A larger stiffer diameter LE requires an updated closing seam contribution to withstand the unique forces that winging provides.

PURE IMPULSE FRONT HANDLE

Infused with the technology of the Widespan Handles, the Pure Impulse front handle provides a direct location for carrying, maneuvering and also for controlling the wing.

The Mantis has become synonymous with its outstanding range and versatility. Not only does the wing perform amazingly in waves, on ocean downwinders, but it’s also proved itself to excel on the racecourse or on the lakes and flat water venues.

The Mantis Apex series takes the performance to a whole new level through the introduction of the Ultra HP frame material. Aside from a 22% weight saving in frame material, the big benefit comes from the ability to hold higher pressures, allowing us to reduce the LE diameter while maintaining stiffness. This leads to a leaner profile and a higher performing product.

In 2004 Cabrinha took big air kiting to a new level with the Nitro. A kite that was ahead of its time, it powered riders to the top of the podiums around the world. 19 years later we have broken the boundaries in the big air realm and are bringing it back to our roots.

The Nitro is back. A Pat Goodman design from Cab Design Works, which is the pinnacle of Big Air kiting.

Development was a no holds barred approach to see just what could be created to reach the extremities of height and stability. An Apex series product, the Nitro utilizes the most cutting edge materials, purposely developed for use in inflatable structures to be flown in the extreme demands of big air kiting. With phenomenal warp and weft elongation strength, especially under load, Ultra HT material keeps the kite in a stable arc, but the reactive bias movement allows the kite to turn even when under increased pressure allowing the kite to really fly and recover from loops.

The sport of Big Air kiting is more extreme now than ever before. Tricks, which were individual in the past are now combined into one jump, and the demands on the product have never been higher. To ride to the extremes, you need a kite that will get you there, and the Nitro is that kite.

The kite that spawned the freeride revolution of kitesurfing and opened up the doors to many new kiters around the world moves into its 16th year and the next step of evolution to this incredibly versatile design.

The introduction of the Hybrid Frame and HTD Lite materials has increased not only the range of one of the most adaptable kites in the industry, but also, it’s performance. Through the lighter frame and strategically placed materials, the kite is now quicker to respond to rider input allowing for not only increased maneuverability in lighter winds, but also control and responsiveness in higher winds.

The new direct bridle with its low drag materials also help move this kite into an all new realm of performance.
