Technologies

2DR
Cabrinha`s high-quality woven fabrics line has been designed specifically for kitesurfing. Unlikely as most of other sailcloth’s in kites, Volae materials are developed especially to meet specific expectations. This material have highest durability and lowest stretch.
 
SKELETAL FRAME
All Cabrinha kites are built on Skeletal Frame foundation. It contains multiple layers of highest quality Dacron material and polyester. Multiple reinforcements on struts, leading edge and trailing edge provide most durable kites possible. Molded EVA protectors, robust LE protectors and triple row stitching in highest stress areas protect your kite in the best way possible.
 
DYNAMIC ARC
Dynamic arc allows kite to have two arc shapes. One when the kite is in the air, other while kite is resting on the water. Simple bridling holds the arc shape in place. Dynamic arc allows you to position the kite for a super quick relaunch.
 
POWER CONTROL
This system allows you to quickly adjust power level of the kite. Each steering line “pig tail” connector has three positions. Middle one is factory recommended. By connecting line closer to the kite, you will get more power. In strong winds if you want to have less power, connect rear line to the knot closes to the rider.
 
X1 SECURITY
1X is not a depower system. It`s full safety system which relies on one line only to shut down all the power kite have immediately. Whether it`s on land, water no matter the conditions, kite will flag out instantly.
 
A-B WINGTIP SETTING
Now you have multiple tuning options to adjust the kite to your own preferences. This allows you to customize bar pressure, feedback, and adjust the power/de-power range of the kite. Try flying the kite on each setting to find out which one fits you best! A = Lightest steering initiation and very light bar pressure B = More bar pressure, feedback and more impulse to know where kite is, also it shortens depower slightly
 
SPRINT AIRLOCK
This Sprint Inflation system allow you to pump your kite in the easiest and most efficient way possible. One-way Airlock quickly pumps air to all struts from a single valve. After inflating you can close off each strut separately to keep stiff profile of the kite and avoid deflation in case of accident with leading edge. Deflation takes seconds thanks to Airlock valve`s dump feature.
 
PURE PROFILE PANELS
This technology keeps smooth arc in flight. By cutting each canopy panel in half at center and doubling the aerodynamic, ultimate curvature control has been obtained. 90% performance of the kite comes from it. Smooth and clean kite in the air will be faster and will have wider range of performance.
