11:45 am	When Looking For Style And Performance, You Should Opt For The Cabrinha Switchblade You might be glad to know that for the last 5 years now consecutively, both amateurs as well as professionals have been preferring the Cabrinha Switchblade as a wakestyle freeride kite. It seems that there are many reasons why this is so. This extraordinary kite has been designed to function in a wide array of situations, it really does not matter whether it is hooked or unhooked. When unhooked, this kite can easily fly to the front and because of the easy pull and the security it offers, it is something that is extensively used for hitting kickers and sliders and also for those hugely admired wakestyle tricks. And in the latest from the company, the Cabrinha Switchblade 2010, you can expect even better results, due to the fact that its re-launch and turning speed has been increased. If you want something that offers a light-bar feel and something that can be managed easily, then you must opt for the Switchblade - the "Intelligent Depower System" or the IDS makes it even better. Even though this particular characteristic of this kite is strongly felt during competitions by those who take their kiteboarding and kitesurfing seriously, it is equally experienced at regular practices. It continues to fly forward when unhooked, providing the power needed for the tricks. Here are some of the most unique features of the Cabrinha Switchblade 2010. 1. Powerdrive IDS Control System 2. Widened usage, including Freeride 4. The Absolute Depower system 5. The bar pressure is very light 7. The Airlock airflow has been improved Using the sliding mechanism in the stopper unit of the OverSlide™ IDS, you can easily release the control, thereby unspinning the twists in your control lines. This has never been tried before. It has been fortified and streamlined. Ideally the landing line needs to be protected from exposure to elements and the control system needs to be made simple - it is able to do both. And thus naturally, these world class Cabrinha products are preferred by most competitors and casual surfers from across the world. The company has a research and development center at Maui in Hawaii and this is where the big wave kiteboarding and wakeboarding competitions are held, and thus, the company is able to benefit by staying close to all of them. Before a new product arrives in the market, the company makes the champions themselves try them out for some time. Those who are into wakestyle freerides and need a kite should seriously consider the Cabrinha Switchblade.

10:30 pm	Cabrinha Custom - This Is One Kitesurfing Board You Are Surely Going To Love Making use of the cue from wakestyle king Andre Phillip and introducing new flex pattern with a stiffer center section, Cabrinha has now developed the amazing Cabrinha Custom. It can be easily termed as a hallmark product in the field of kiteboarding today. The bottom of the Custom is shaped in 3D and its center section is quite flat thus allowing the bite, while the extreme tips are concave. It also allows for finless riding on flat water surface or blockages. It has been mentioned before that Andre Phillip and his unique wakestyle performance has impacted the Cabrinha Custom 2010 greatly and so using this, you can emulate the same broad stances and the flowing mode. You can easily stick off-axis landings by using the channels at the tips. Paulownia wood, which is completely eco-friendly and of course highly durable is used for all the boards of the company and the Cabrinha Custom 2010 has this too. Using this you can expect great performance, resilience and flex. This is accounted to the ABS sidewalls and the ingenious manufacturing technology that uses fiberglass and resin. When you are using the Cabrinha Custom, you can also enjoy more support at the feet and at the side too and that is because of the Sync Backless Binding that it comes with. Though it took some time before the kiteboard testers could get used to this, once they did, they had only good things to say about it. The all-new Sync system is not only light-weight but it is also very much helpful with its soft durometer EVA footbed. 1. Wood core of this board has been made with bombproof Paulownia. 2. It comes with a new flex pattern and it also has a center section that is stiffer. 3. Carbon deck strips for added reflex response and stiffness. 4. You will get better pop and grip too all due to the presence of the quad-step bottom. 5. There are stronger inserts. 6. 24" or 61 cm; 26" or 66 cm; 28" or 71 cm Sync and wake stance options. 7. Sizes include 133 x 40; 136 x 42; 140 x 42.5 and 144 x 43. Pete Cabrinha was a celebrated kiteboarder who had 38 years of experience and this product is his brainchild, and now the Cabrinha kiteboards are widely used for both casual surfing and also in competitions. Products like the Switchblade, Crossbow from the company come with the proprietary IDS technology, and the others, such as the Prodigy, Rival, Caliber or the Plasma are just what you need for surfside wakes or the lake. You can use the Cabrinha Custom confidently, completely certain that it ranks among the best you can get.

11:02 pm	Cabrinha Caliber - This Is The Board So Many Like To Use Featuring bombproof Paulownia Wood core, Quad + Cave bottom (for utmost tracking), new 3D X deck (for increased tip flex), new Outline (for reducing Tip Spray) with Rail Grabs plus Handle (22" 0r 56 cm; 24" or 61 cm; 26" or 66 cm Sync and Wake Stance options, Cabrinha Caliber is the right match for you. Do some research and you will definitely find many boards, but as the kiteboarding or kitesurfing enthusiast, there are very few that can match up to the Caliber. The lower rocker line helps you get the momentum and accelerate quickly, while the 3D bottom shape gives you great edge control. The Paulownia wood is just what you need to ensure that the body is lightweight and yet tough. And the Caliber is definitely what you should want for the big air and for Freestyle Tricks as well. The Cabrinha Caliber And Its Structural Features The Cabrinha Caliber 2010 is an all-round Freeride board that offers you a unique feel that can hardly be matched, this is because of its quad concave bottom. If you compare the Caliber with the Custom you will notice that it has a lesser rocker, but when it comes to tracking the upwind, the shorter length does not come in the way. However freestylers are sure to find that it is just what they need when fully powered up and facing high windy or choppy conditions. Since it also comes with the flat section and the heavier rocker line, this one is best for sticking of axis landings. And so, the freeriders and freestylers looking for something for the high wind and choppy conditions agree that this is a fun and all-around board. Cabrinha Caliber 2010 - Special Features This product has been made by using the Paulownia wood core, which is both tough and eco-friendly. It has 3DX shaping on the top while its bottom is shaped quadra concave. This is quite a unique formation and most of its special features are because of this. The current models come with an extended strap and this allows more support to the top of the foot and the sides as well. Here's Something About Cabrinha That You Might Want To Know These really great kiteboards were the brainchild of the famous Pete Cabrinha and his several years of surfing experience. Pete Cabrinha himself founded this company and stressed on the importance of research and development, and the company's development center came up at Maui in Hawaii, which again is where a lot of wakeboarding and kiteboarding competitions take place. So when you do not want to compromise on your boards for kiteboarding or kitesurfing, you can bet safely on the Cabrinha Caliber. (Comment on this)
