A snapshot of the past season says a lot about where the
sport of kitesurfing and Cabrinha are headed for 2007 - 2008.
Bow and High Depower kites have taken over the industry and now make up more than
90% of the kites being sold today. Our decision to offer bridled non-bow designs such as
the popular HD kites along with our industry leading Bow designs has allowed us to cover
the full spectrum of performance and price with no compromise on safety. Override’s depower on demand still remains the best means of depowering your kite in an instant.
The 07 -08 range of Cabrinha kites is more refined and targeted than ever. We have made
a much clearer separation in the categories to provide specialized equipment for the most
popular styles of riding. We have added a dedicated surf kite and surf boards which epitomize the very soul of the Cabrinha brand.
With the increase in the wind range of our Bow and HD kites came an increase in the load stresses. In 2007 we have implemented strategic counter
measures which focus on added durability in the high load areas. Through
the use of various materials we now provide a balance of strength and
weight to deliver our most durable kites yet. Higher denier materials along
the strut and LE seams provide solid stitch holding characteristics and
alleviate any possibility for stitch combing. The selective placement of
higher weighted material along the trailing edge deters against tears created by “tomahawk” style kite crashes on water, snow, or land.
Our completely new board range offers the highest performance, most advanced boards to date. Lighter weights are achieved through the reduction in our component accessory weights. New molded footpads
cradle the sole of your foot like a shoe while dampening impact during those hard landings. Our new lighter foot strap
is designed for comfort, easy attachment and adjustment.
We’ve implemented new concave bottom shapes which
create grip along the rails and a faster line through the
center sections.
Kitesurfing is experiencing growth in many ways throughout the world. Cabrinha Kite Surf Equipment is dedicated
to match its pace step for step.

because the flatter Pro Span Extreme™ arc uses
less square surface area to deliver the same power
as a conventional arc kite which is much larger in

OVERRIdE 2: SECURITY SECONd TO NONE
The Override method of depower has become the preferred choice from seasoned pros to 1st time riders. It doesn’t
get any easier than this. Just place the control bar in the Override mode and the kite will immediately begin to
depower and drop from the sky. With Override you can avoid many accidents before they happen by maintaining
control of the power of your kite at all times.
OVERRIdE 2 STEPS
(fig.1)
Kite in power position
(fig.2)
Initiate depower by pushing
the bar away from you
To place the bar into Override mode you can simply
push past the stopper unit and the kite will immediately
begin to depower and drop from the sky. To depower
the kite, push the control bar into the Override Mode,
unseating the Override™ 2 Stopper Unit (fig. 2). The
kite will immediately depower and begin to drop from
the sky (fig. 3). The Override™ 2 Stopper Unit features
a positive locking and unlocking action and is now
much easier to activate and reset, giving the rider even
more freedom to spin the bar or to depower the kite.
The Override 2 stopper unit provides a place to rest
your control bar if you’d like to unspin your lines. When
the Override stopper unit is seated on its sleeve you
can temporarily let go of the control bar and unspin
your lines.

The Override™ 2Tension Ring allows the
rider to choose the level of pressure it takes
to unseat the stopper unit from its sleeve
an enter Override™ mode. With each click
of the tension ring, the release load increases and more force will be required to
put the control bar into Override™ Mode.
Override™ 2 can also be used when performing unhooked tricks. First, be sure to
unseat the Override™ stopper unit from
its sleeve. Then connect your leash to the
ring on the harness loop. If you drop the
bar during a missed trick the kite will immediately depower and begin to drop from
the sky.

FEATURES
> IMPROVED LEADING EDGE REINFORCEMENT
> TRANSITIONAL STRUT REINFORCEMENT
> FLAT SEAM PANEL Construction
> 70 GSM TRAI
This season we take durability head-on with the addition of transitional strut panel materials and reinforced LE closing seams. We have reinforced the
high load areas of our kites with a transitionally
weighted material. This well-placed material acts as
a buffer zone between the rigid strut areas and the
canopy. The entire canopy of all kites are flat seamed
and taped prior to sewing. This is 20% stronger than
the free hand sewn method of a top stitch.
The leading edge closing seams now have additional layering to eliminate stitch combing.
The entire trailing edge implements a two-ply of tough
70 gsm material for added durability and strength.
Cabrinha implements many new construction techniques to improve the overall durability of the kite.
We use flat seams exclusively in all of the leading
edge panels. This results in stronger seaming especially in the closing seam. All of the body panels also
feature taped flat seams for added strength.
The full contact between the strut and the leading
edge helps to ensure a rigid frame. The positive connection not only provides stability while the kite is in
flight but delivers added durability and a rapid relaunch.
An extra layer of Mark Cloth on the LE closing seams adds
strength.

The third generation of our highly refined Contra kite
raises the bar in light wind performance kiting. Designed
to get the absolute best performance in light wind conditions, the Contra is made to deliver the speed and agility
of a small kite and power and pull of a big kite.
The secret lies in our highly tuned profiles which produce much faster flying speeds. These profiles allow the
kite to fly from point A - B in the power window much
quicker and keep the kite feeling lively in the sky. This
translates to overall better performance in marginal wind
conditions.
The new Contra delivers much more than just performance. It covers all areas of Security, ease of use and
durability that you would expect from Cabrinha.
The Contra Bow kite has everything you need to perform
in the light wind arena, and nothing you don’t need. Light
wind is no longer a second rate alternative. Thanks to
the Contra, your spectrum of great riding conditions just
got expanded.

DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
It hard to imagine that just 3 short years ago the Crossbow launched an entirely new level of performance and
security that changed the face of kitesurfing. Today, in
keeping with the philosophy that performance and security are no longer mutually exclusive, the Crossbow
3 brings you maximum performance, efficiency and security wrapped into a single kite. This makes the Crossbow 3 the ideal Freeride kite; a kite which can span
many riding styles and categories.

The Crossbow has one of the widest wind ranges in
our kite offering. The efficiency of this kite led to the
creation of the “two kite quiver”. A unique condition in
which two kites will handle the needs of most riders. A
situation where less is definitely more.
The performance in the Crossbow 3 comes from the
flatter, Pro Span™ Extreme arc and is fast flying profiles. The combination of these two produce more power per square meter than a conservative arc classic
kite. Enough power to match the Crossbow’s legendary hang time reputation or to propel you into your next
trick. The pin point control of the power comes from the
Crossbow’s ability to depower on demand. You can fully
depower the kite at anytime just by placing the bar into
the Override™ mode.
Made to withstand the rigors of everyday abuse, the
new durably constructed Crossbow 3 lets you ride with
confidence knowing your kite is up to the task.
If you are looking for high hangtimes, trick riding, or just
freeriding, the Crossbow 3 is the kite for you.

PERFORMANCE
The Revolver HD is coming your way this season as
our premier dedicated surf kite. The brief we gave our
chief designer Pat Goodman, was to build us a kite that
is: Fast turning. High Depowering. Responds immediately to edge input. And is built with the most durable
strength to weight ratio materials available to us. The
result is nothing short of spectacular.

K
The Revolver HD is your personal power source for true
kite surfing. Its as close as it gets to the real thing with
the added benefits of power to get you in and out of the
line up. Tow yourself into a wave with the Revolver and
feel what it is like to actually surf without having the kite
over-power your turns.
The Revolver HD’s defining characteristic is that its
right there when you need it... and virtually invisible
when you don’t.
The conservative amount of Pro Span™ Extreme
makes the Revolver incredibly stable. But more so, it
makes it turn on a dime. The Revolver’s inherent turning speed allows you to surf tight in the pocket and put
the kite wherever you need it in an instant.
The new frontier in kitesurfing has come full circle back
to its surfing roots. Cabrinha, the company founded on
the very core of surfing now brings you the ultimate surf
kite. The Revolver HD.
If you are looking for a surf kite with the technology of
the future but the soul of surfing’s past..... look no
further than the Revolver HD.

DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The Convert bow kite is a reflection of the people who
do our sport. Rugged, and technical...with a sense of
ease. The Convert is simply the easiest and most secure way to get yourself up and riding in the shortest
amount of time, with the least amount of hassles.
The secret to the Convert’s simplicity lies in its stable
Pro Span™ arc and bow kite bridle. The combination
of these two features creates an easy flying kite that
gives you complete control over the power and more
importantly...the depower. The way the Convert quickly
flies forward to the edge of the window makes it a snap
to get past your first milestone in kitesurfing - Going Upwind.
But that’s not where it stops. The Convert is designed to
grow with your abilities so that as you quickly learn, the
kite will back you up with performance to match. Performance characteristics like quick turning and easy jumping with incredible hang times. If you decide to venture
into the surf you’ll love the high depower function of the
Convert so you can focus more on your surfing than on
flying your kite.
If you’d like to ride unhooked, the Convert quickly converts into 1:1 mode. 1:1 mode means disabling the pulleys on the control system which will favor unhooked
trick riding. In the 1:1 mode virtually all of the bar pressure is eliminated resulting in smooth power and depower delivery.
The Convert kite. Kitesurfing has never been easier.

have reinforced the high load areas of the kite with a
transitionally weighted material. This well placed material acts as a buffer zone between the rigid strut areas
and the canopy. The closing seams now have an additional layer of material and a layer of Mark Cloth to handle the higher demand put on them by todays riders.

DESCRIPTION
The Convert bow kite is a reflection of the people who do our
sport. Rugged, with a sense of ease. The Convert is simply the
easiest and most secure way to get yourself up and riding in the
shortest amount of time, with the least amount of hassles.
The Convert is a full scale Bow kite from leading edge to trailing
edge. This design delivers an incredibly wide wind range, stable
easy handling and perhaps the most important feature on any kite
..... an enhanced relaunch function that is second to none.
RELAUNCH ON COMMAND
The Convert’s relaunch capability is so easy that your hands never have to leave the control system. By simply pointing the end of
the control system towards the kite, the wing tip will rise off of the
water and launch the kite into the sky. Unlike other relaunch methods, The Convert allows you to decide when to launch the kite and
which direction it goes into the air. Its simple... and it keeps the
control in your hands... where it should be.
Two of the elements credited for the Convert’s amazing relaunch
are:
The curved shape of the leading edge and the swept wing tips.
Together they allow the kite to “unstick” by reducing contact to the
water or snow when the leading edge is face down. The constant
curvature of the leading edge allows the kite to easily roll onto a
wing tip and lift off the water.
The Bow kite bridle is also responsible for allowing you to choose
the direction you would like to launch the kite. This clearly puts the
Convert in a class of its own amongst a sea of hybrid kites which
don’t allow this function. This important function becomes an added safety feature when your kite is sitting next to an obstacle like
rocks, a pier, other riders or swimmers.
For example: if you want to lift the right facing wing tip just point
the right side of the control system directly at the kite and hold until
the wing tip rises off of the water. When the kite launches you can
easily control how fast or how slow youÕd like it to fl .
If you want to speed up the relaunch process you can always just
grab a leader line instead, flip the kite on its side and shoot it up
into the sky. The Convert’s easy relaunch sets a new standard in
kite control. Simple. Fast. And at your command.
The feature packed Convert comes standard with:
Sprint. Our single point inflation system. You can easily inflate the
kite by connecting the pump to a single valve.
Override 2. The ability to depower on demand by just pushing the
control bar away from the rider.
The Convert comes with our versatile Powerdrive 2N1 S control
system. The 2N1 S control system allows you to ride in either the
2:1 pulley mode or the 1:1 mode with the pulleys disabled.

In 2:1 mode the pulleys effectively

ff
steering, powering
and depowering inputs. For the amount off distance you move the
control bar you effectively double the reaction on the kite. This creates precision control, rocket fast turning, and puts you in charge of
your kite at all times.
In 1:1 mode the disabling of the pulleys virtually eliminates all bar
pressure and provides a smooth power and depower band. Great
for freeriding and unhooked wakestyle riding. The Powerdrive 2N1
S comes with our Bypass leash.
If you are looking for an all round freeride kite that will perform in
a wide variety of conditions and riding styles. One with an industry
leading relaunch system, look no further than the Convert kite from
Cabrinha.

DURABILITY
A new robust construction with transitional strut reinforcements
and higher strength materials in the durability prone areas.
The Convert SE tackles durability with a tough Dacron leading edge, struts, trailing edge and wing tip areas. These areas
transition into the canopy with transitional strut reinforcement
materials, creating a solid framework around the canopy. The
canopy is made up of 92 gsm (standard canopy material is
53 gsm) to stand up to the abuse that a school kite is likely to
receive.

D ESCRIPTION
The Powerdrive 2N1 can be ridden in either the 2:1 pulley
mode or the 1:1 non pulley mode depending on your riding
preference.
The 2:1 pulley mode increases the effects of your steering and depowering input. For the amount of distance you
move the control system you effectively double the reaction on the kite. The 1:1 mode virtually eliminates the bar
pressure and lends itself to a smooth power delivery.

From the moment you put your hands on
our Powerdrive 1:1 control system you’ll
ask yourself “Where is the bar pressure”.
Thats because the Powerdrive 1:1 control
system without pulleys delivers absolute
control over the power of your kite without
the increase in pressure caused by pul
pulleys. But don’t let the lack of bar pressure
fool you. The Powerdrive 1:1 features

CORES
PVC
Super light, tough, low density foam core. The basic
advantage of this material is its light-weight, and ease
of milling a precise core shape; producing a consistent
result every time. Average Density: 75kg/m³
WOOD
Vertically laminated Paulownia stringers produce a
high compression/ lightweight core. Paulownia has one
of the highest strength to weight ratios of all wood species.The result is simple. Bullet proof, with a smooth,
consistent flex pattern. Average Density: 310kg/ m³
X-48
The X stands for Extruded Poly Styrene (XPS). XPS
offers a high impact resistances and a better strength
to weight than regular EPS. It is completely water tight
and provides an excellent bond to the laminate. Average Density 48kg/m³
FIBERgLASS LAMINATES
QUADRAX
A four axis weave of fiberglass that is extremely strong
and light resulting in a very lively feel and response.
BI-AXIAL
A simplified weave ensuring durability with a loose
feel.
HARD GLASS
A pre-laminated fiberglass that’s pre-tensioned and
cured under pressure. We apply this to the board in
strategic locations to increase strength with a minimal
increase to the weight. It’s the strongest fiberglass
available! Hands-down!
TOPANd BOTTOM SHEET
A light-weight and tough material. Its’ UV and Scratch
resistance properties’ makes it perfect for Kite Board
production.
ABS RAILS
The ABS sidewall is laminated to the core during the
Lay-Up process. It’s designed to increase the strength
while ensuring a smooth, durable and consistent ride.
CORE PROFILES
All our cores are produced with CNC milling. This
means that every core is true to our design. Flex, profile and manufacturing consistency are all exact, every
time.
FLEX PATTERN
TRUE TWIN FLEX
A symmetric pattern provides an identical flex, forward
or switch, ideal for all types of riding conditions.
SURF
Surfboards flex under load. This flex provides spring
out of the turn and offers control. Our cores and layups are developed specifically for kitesurfing.
MOUNTINg SYSTEM
STAINLESS STEEL INSERTS
Based on the industry standard 6 inch (15.24cm) pattern. Our Stainless steel inserts are custom made to
eliminate pull out and spinning. Our inserts are all ¼20 thread and sized to properly fit the core profiles.
They are inserted from the bottom of the core, glued
and are in for good.
ARRANgEMENT/ LAYUP
LAMinAte
Each board has its own unique layup. We have tested
many different configurations of the laminate to produce the best combination of strength and weight. The
Cores are profiled to dial in the specific flex for a design. Then the laminate is applied to support the flex
and increase strength.
STANCE OPTIONS
The Stance options provided are design specific based
on the rider size and style. The Prodigy and the larger
two sizes of the Imperial have a 14/17 inch option for
all around freeride performance. The Smaller Imperial stance of 13/15 fits the smaller targer rider. The
Custom features a 16/18 footstrap stance with a 20”
binding stance for the wakestyle rider.
TECHNOLOGY
Board Technology
FLEX SUPPORT
Kiteboards are subject to high shock loads. Wakestyle, flat landing, kite loops and sliders wear heavy
on a board. By adding spot reinforcement, we have
addressed these loads without adding thickness or
weight.
ROCKER
The rocker is a key element in the overall feel and
performance of your board. We use three distinct
rockers based on the performance targets of the
boards.
BOTTOM SHAPE
Design specific bottom contours are added based
on the boards performance demands. Single concave with rail chines on the Imperial improve tracking and smooth out the ride in Chop. Custom quad
concaves increase tracking and add performance
for finless riding.
ABS SHAPED SIDEWALLS
Shaped sidewalls allows precise edge control
and provide smooth traansition on sliders.
BINDING INSERTS
Our Stainless steel inserts are custom made
to eliminate pull out and spinning.

FEATURES
Kitesurfing has come full circle back to its surfing roots
with the introduction of the S-Quad. Years of design
experience has gone into making the perfect kite surfboard. The S-Quad has all of the design elements of a
true surfboard with the construction to match the kind of
abuse the surf will likely dish out.

> TOW SURFING ROCKER
> QUAD FIN DESIGN
> X-48 CORE
> COMPOSITE SKIN
> WOOD REINFORCED HEELS
> CUSTOM CUT TRACTION PADS
> SURF STRAPS
> FUTURE FIN SYSTEM
Designed by Pete Cabrinha, the S-Quad blends his fast
tow-surfing rockers with a wider curvier outline to deliver a board that powers off the bottom and snaps in
the hook. The 4 fins allow the rail to hold when you need
it and let it bust loose on demand.
The S-Quad is constructed with an X-48 EPS core and
a composite skin. The x-48 construction has been custom developed to the Cabrinha S-quad. The XPS core
is machined to offer the optimal shape. A full wood
laminate under the feet provides strength and impact
resistance. We use a multi weight glass lay-up to provide the best combination of strength and weight.
When ridden with the new Revolver HD surf kite, its as
close as you’ll get to the real thing. If you want just one
board to handle a wide range of surf conditions the
S-Quad is your board.

The Imperial continues to be the choice of riders who want
to excel in all styles of riding. Since the Imperial lends itself
to high speed riding through rough or choppy waters, we’ve
added a concave bottom shape to help you get up to speed
quicker. To handle the speeds even better, we’ve changed
the outline slightly to increase the edge response and tracking. This has all been done while maintaining the forgiving
feel and easy ride that it is well known for.

The Prodigy is the perfect first board as it will get a rider
tracking upwind with it easy to control handling. From
there it’ll grow with you as you quickly progress through
the stages. The reason for its easy handling and smooth
feel lies in the combination of its wood core, fast rocker
line, and forgiving outline. The wood core is responsible
for its flex and dampening through the choppy water.
The fast rocker will get a rider up on a plane quickly
yet allow him or her to control their speed through the

3d FOOT PAdS
The new generation foot pads have been redesigned with performance, light weight, and ease of use. The new molded EVA
mid section reduces weight. As well the plate has been canted
to give better ergonomics. A new outline provides a solid foot
position and integrates the cut EVA grip area. The Internal
plastic is pre-curved and has the weight greatly reduced.
WIdEBOdY AdJUSTABLE FOOT STRAP
The strap has been totally redesigned for the new model.
Fit, function, styling, and ease of mounting have all been addressed. Traditional footstraps lose their fit as the strap gets
bigger or smaller. By adding two side adjustment the strap stay
centered on your foot. The internally molded Side Curtain EVA
eliminates any contact with the adjustment webbing no matter
how large you make the strap. When the strap is in its smallest the there is no added bulk. The outboard tongue can be
removed to allow easy mounting of the strap. This feature also
allows the strap to be left on the board for
traveling.

profiled to deliver an even response to long periods of
edging which is unique to snowkiting.
The Quadrax orientation of the lay-up distributes binding pressure over a greater area, because the 30-degree
axis fibers add extra torsional stiffness. The stainless
treated steel edges and Crystal EzCare base all make
for a snowkite board with the highest durability.

makes this the preferred harness for freeride, freestyle
and surf. The body of the impact waist is made with a
combination of Thermoform and our exclusive impact
mesh material which helps to dissipate the energy when
hitting the water at high speeds.

The Cabrinha Deluxe Seat Harness is quite possibly
the most comfortable way to go riding. The body shape
of the seat harness keeps the hook right around your
center of gravity . This low hook position is ideal for
transferring the load directly to the rail of your board.
The result is a higher level of board control in strong
winds and choppy water.
The 8-Point spreader bar connection will keep the hook
firmly in place when you ride, causing immediate kite
response from your body movements.
