CABRINHA Switchblade Kite 2022

PERFORMANCE FREERIDE SIZES: 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 14   The longest running and most successful kite in the industry is back for it’s 17th year, and what a year it is. The kite that spawned not only a style of riding but also a whole generation of kiters has evolved into the highest performing Switchblade to date. Taking the known Switchblade DNA, the creatives in the Design Works team have evolved this 5 strut design through use of new technologies, construction techniques and internal adjustments, to give a more playful, lighter feeling kite, while still remaining predictable and stable. This Lite Series kite utilizes the HTD Lite materials which make this the lightest Switchblade to date.   Combined with the Integrated Structural Canopy (ISC) we have been able to greatly reduce the weight of the kite while increasing longevity and improving steering speed.   5 Strut, Hybrid design, Fusion wing tip shape, Draft forward profile, Hybrid strut.   FEATURES: NEW:  HTD Lite:  Lightweight ultra rigid dacron NEW:  Switchblade DNA, cutting edge handling and performance NEW:  Revised aerodynamic profiles and design NEW:  Lighter and more playful control response NEW:  Bi-directional pure profile panels Ultralite bladders for an overall lighter weight kite Trailing edge EVA rigidity battens Nano Ripstop Canopy:  Durability, stability and responsiveness Sprint 3.0 Durable TPU leading edge bumper

Safety first !! Ein kleines aber wichtiges Zubehör, das leider zu oft fehlt, ist ein Messer zum Kappen der Leinen, wenn es mal eng wird. Die Leinen sind Rasiermesserscharf und können lebensgefährlich werden. Wer noch kein Kapp-Messer besitzt, sollte sich für kleines Geld das spezielle Concept X Kapp-Messer für die Leinen anschaffen. Die Klingen sind so angelegt, dass man damit schnell die Leinen kappen kann und sich dabei nicht selbst verletzt. Das Concept X Kapp-Messer ist das ideale Werkzeug für solche Notfälle.

THE ACCESS TO FLEXIBILITY We wanted an affordable, high flex suit. Up to now this was hardly possible. But the Nexus is the first suit that combines both and brings fresh breeze into the entry-level price range. A very soft neoprene is used all over the body. High thermal insulation is guaranteed by the mesh panel in breast and back panel area. All other standard NP features such as E3 sytem, leg straps and perfect fit are also included.
