PERFORMANCE FREERIDE / CROSSOVER

Most versatile performance kite

  • 5 struts for standout stability and performance
  • Enhanced profiles optimize the low end power
  • Park and ride stability
  • Direct steering
  • Light bar pressure
  • High hang time
  • Easy relaunch
  • 10 years of proven performance

After ten years of refinement, the Switchblade kite from Cabrinha is held as the benchmark for which all crossover/freeride kites must aspire to. Its success lies in its uncommon blend of high performance and ease of use. The Switchblade will easily crossover from freeriding to freestyle to surf on any given day. The common element in each of these riding styles is precise handling; and this is where the Switchblade shines. The Switchblade provides maximum control with a light bar touch. The SB?s high performance profiles deliver the power needed in light winds and the ability to dump the power in strong winds. This gives the SB the type of range needed to extend your sessions when the winds are up and down. The five strut design holds the canopy true to its shape regardless of the wind condition or angle of attack.

RIDER PROFILE: The discerning rider who will crossover from freeriding to freestyle to surf on any given day. High performance, versatility, and build quality are at the top of their list.
FIXED CONTROL SYSTEM:

The 2015 QuickLoop 1X control system is a light weight, fixed length control bar featuring our all new QuickLoop. QuickLoop is an opening harness loop connection designed to work specifically with our 1X single line flagging security system. QuickLoop defining feature is it's ridiculously simple operation of our 1X security system. Upon activation of 1X single line flagging system the power of a kite is immediately killed and it will rest motionless on the water or land. The incredibly easy reconnection of the QuickLoop harness loop is now the new benchmark in the industry for simplicity. The all new Overdrive 1X security system now has a cleaner method to manage the 1X security line. We have removed the external 8 meters of security line to create a simplified lower V connection. The 1X line stopper is integrated into the centerline adjustment strap.
