Full Description

Cabrinha kites and bags cater to specific riding styles. The FX 12m is for freestyle/freeride, the Drifter 9m is dedicated to wave and down-the-line surfing, and the modern Switchblade Bag features a highly functional, strap-based system.

1. Cabrinha FX 12m
  • Discipline: Performance Freeride / Crossover Freestyle
  • Characteristics: The FX features a modified C-shape arc that delivers explosive pop, massive slack for unhooked maneuvers, and fast-turning kiteloops.
  • Tuning: Modern FX models come with bridle adjustments so you can tune the kite’s feel for freestyle or general looping.
  • Conditions: Because of its larger size (12m), it provides excellent forward drive and low-end power for lighter-wind days
2. Cabrinha Drifter 9m
  • Discipline: Performance Surf / Wave Riding
  • Characteristics: As the gold standard for wave kiting, the Drifter offers unmatched “slackline drift”. When you ride down the line on a wave, the kite drifts with you instead of falling out of the sky.
  • Bridle: Uses a very short, pulley-less bridle that prevents tangles and allows the kite to pivot on a dime.
  • Conditions: The 9m size serves as an ideal quiver staple for medium wind ranges
3. Cabrinha Switchblade Bag / Universal Kite Bag
  • Design: Recent iterations (like the functional Cabrinha 04 series) feature a “dry-bag” roll closure instead of traditional zippers. [1, 2]
  • Features: Built-in ventilation panels allow moisture to escape, and static external straps make it easy to compress a single kite down or strap two kites together for the walk to the beach. [1, 2]
  • Storage: Includes designated external sleeves to slide your control bar and pump right into the sides, so you don’t have to squeeze everything inside the main compartment
