Cabrinha 2017 Switchblade Kite

• Ultimate performance in the widest range of conditions and variety of riding styles.

The 2017 Cabrinha Switchblade is an all-around high-aspect high-performance 5-strut kite that is meticulously refined and expertly crafted. Now in its twelfth year, the 2017 Cabrinha Switchblade is defined by a clear vision and constant refinement. Cabrinha's concept with the Switchblade has always been simple; one kite to rule them all. To that end, Cabrinha continues to tweak and perfect the Switchblade, bringing it ever closer to absolute domination of its class. It's no wonder kiteboarders of all disciplines so revere the Switchblade, and no surprise that it has become one of the best selling kites of all time. Key to what makes the Switchblade arguably the king of kites, is its rock-solid stability, massive power, and enormous depower. When you add to this its easy and reliable relaunch, fast, nimble, and smooth turning, and penchant for flying tight to the edge of the window, the result is a kite that can do anything and everything. The Switchblade is a high-performance kite that can boost to the moon and devour the most extreme high-wind conditions with confidence and poise. At the same time, it excels in light winds, screams upwind drifts like a cloud and relaunches like it's water phobic. In 2017, the Switchblade has been updated with some subtle yet meaningful changes. At the top of the list is Cabrinha's "Pure Profile Panels" which has been unincorporated into much of Cabrinha's 2017 lineup. Each segment of the leading edge now has two corresponding panels of canopy thus bringing to bear enhanced "curvature control." The bridle line material has been upgraded to be stronger and more durable preventing any performance degradation through bridle line stretch. The Sprint Inflation System has been streamlined to be a more low profile and easy to service. There is also rear line tuning options whereby the rider can adjust the kites bar pressure, depower, and power of the kite to their preference. The 2017 Cabrinha Switchblade is
