2016 Cabrinha Chaos 1X Technology

2016 Cabrinha Chaos 1X Size

The 2016 Cabrinha Chaos Kite is designed to win competitions! Surpassing all expectations, the Chaos can handle your training workload and deliver results. Its aggressive, high aspect C-shape design gives you the pop and line slack you need to make unhooked tricks effortlessly. Its superior wind range is a big advantage over its rivals. Extended suspension lines add support to the leading edge to maintain arc shape and add flight stability. This ensures torsional freedom and movement to the kite for a stable and supported ride.

Tuned perfectly for freestyle, it flies through turns rather than pivoting through the wing tips. You can throw a kite loop with the tightest arc possible. Its bar pressure stays light but delivers the right amount of feedback to let you know where the kite is at all times. New to the 2016 model are its customizable steering options for either quicker turns, or a more stable kite position for handle passes.

2017 Cabrinha Ace Kiteboard Technology

	Basalt is a volcanic mineral fiber which offers vibration resistance and durability while maintaining a high strength to weight ratio. Washed pure molten basalt rock is absent of toxic additives. The combination of wood core with basalt laminate provides a flex characteristic, unique to Cabrinha.
	We use a premium “A-grade” Paulownia wood core which is vertically laminated to optimize strength, reduce weight and allow the board to flex more naturally and freely. This premium cut has a higher number of continuous vertical strips free of finger joints for a smooth flex pattern. This allows each board to mirror the design for more consistency from board to board. Found in all 2017 models.
	One of the most efficient ways to control tip, tail, and torsional flex is through the use of core profiling. With our Parabolic Rails we are able to precisely control the stiffness of our boards by using a raised and tapered rail shape. Having the thickness along the rail helps with torsional stiffness and enhances flex control while keeping the board weight to a minimum. This design approach provides the boards with a substantial increase in re-bound. Found on the Ace & Tronic. Freeride boards benefit the most from the technology.
	Provides razor sharp responsiveness and stability for landings. designed to get you up and riding quickly and upwind fast. Found on the Xcaliber, Ace, and Spectrum.
	The same 16mm screws are used for fins, handle and foot straps.
	We use a premium “A-grade” Paulownia wood core which is vertically laminated to optimize strength, reduce weight and allow the board to flex more naturally and freely. This premium cut has a higher number of continuous vertical strips free of finger joints for a smooth flex pattern. This allows each board to mirror the design for more consistency from board to board. Found in all 2016 models.
	Our unique hex flow polycarbonate fins feature a hexagon dimpled pattern over the surface of the fin. The hex pattern helps to create a boundary layer which assists in the laminar flow over the fin, reducing drag. The new material is made from a lightweight and resilient bullet proof material.

2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kite

Read more on what Cabrinha says about the 2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kite

The 2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kite is a performance freeride kite designed to pull every bit of power out of the atmosphere and deliver it right into your hands. IThe 2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kite is purposely built for kiteboarding, meaning that it has been designed from the ground up specifically for the sport of kiteboarding. The 2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kites inflated skeletal frame of the kite sets it apart from a ram air kite in many ways. The 2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kites skeletal frame provides the structure that keeps the kite design true to its intended shape while in-flight. In shifty winds, the inflated struts drive the kite through turbulence with a minimal amount of deformation.

The 2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kites inflated leading edge structure introduces the laminar flow of air across the kite’s Pure Profile panels, making it very stable even at low speeds. These inflation properties make the 2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kite unbeatable as a light wind performance kite and incredibly accurate as a high wind kite. It also goes without mention that an inflatable kite is much more reliable to relaunch, thereby making the 2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kite much safer and much more fun to ride than a ram air kite.

2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kite Rider Profile

The 2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kite is perfect for any type of riding where forward speed and acceleration must be matched by the speed of the kite with effortless management. Excellent for foil boarding or speed kiting.

5 Strut, Bow kite design, Pro Span technology, High aspect ration, 3 bridle setting options

2017 Cabrinha Apollo Kite Technology

	Improves the relationship between the actual canopy area and the lifting canopy area. With Pro Span, a majority of the kite’s surface area is working for you in a lifting capacity which also improves speed and upwind performance. The key element is not the flat canopy area and aspect ratio of the design, but the in-flight projected area and projected aspect ratio. Once it takes shape in-flight the power comes from the efficiency, and the efficiency comes from decreasing the induced drag of the overall wing by having more lifting area focused in the “projected” power producing section of the wing. The defining feature of the Apollo is its ultra high aspect design which translates into a higher projected span.
	The layout starts in segmented sections in the design software, but, in-flight its natural shape is a smooth arc. In order to make the transition between segmented and curved, we doubled the aerodynamic control by cutting each canopy panel in half at the center section, providing the ultimate curvature control which is where 90% of the performance comes from. When a kite is clean and smooth it will be faster through the sky giving you a broader range of performance.
	We offer multiple tuning options this season which completely change the way a kite flies. These options allow you to customize the feedback and bar pressure, adjust where the kite sits in the window, and balance the power/ de-power range of the kite. Cabrinha highly recommends testing the different settings for yourself to find out what feels the best to you. A = The lightest bar pressure and lightest steering initiation. B = Much more feedback, more bar pressure, shortened depower, and more steering impulse to know where the kite is.
	The 1X is not a depower system, it is a full blown shut down system. The 1X relies on only one line to immediately shut down the power of the kite whether it be on land or water in all wind conditions.
	Power Control settings quickly adjust the power level of the kite. Each rear line “pig tail” connector has three power positions which you can connect to. The middle position is the factory recommended position. Create more power by connecting the knot closest to the kite or less power by connecting to the knot closest to the rider.
	Cabrinha’s exclusive line of high-quality woven fabrics has been designed specifically for kitesurfing. Unlike many of the generic sailcloths available in today’s kites, the Volae materials have been specially developed to our exact specifications. The development process has taken over 5 years to create this dedicated kite material, which delivers the lowest stretch and highest durability on the market.
	All Cabrinha kites are designed and built on a Skeletal Frame foundation. We start by placing the most durable, 160 gsm Dacron material into a framework that locks in the intended shape. We then create the canopy shape and profiles with a light weight yet highly durable 53 gsm polyester woven material. We build on the durability of the canopy material with a second layer of 53 gsm two-ply material over the high stress strut sections. Next, we layer into the perimeter a 75 gsm, double ripstop reinforcement material to combat the extreme loads that are placed on the trailing edge and wing tip areas of the kite. Finally, we complete the kite with details such as molded EVA chafe protectors, robust leading edge protectors, and triple row stitching at the high stress inter-segment seams near the center of the kite. We seal it all up with a woven nylon ribbon reinforcement on the leading edge closing seam.
	A dynamic arc allows the kite to have two distinct arc shapes. The kite takes on one shape while flying, and another shape while in resting mode on the water. The flying shape occurs as soon as the kite gets airborne and the front lines are under tension. The flying shape is the kite’s intended shape which is optimized for the intended usage. The arc shape is held in place by a simple set of bridling. The dynamic arc shape occurs when the kite is not in flight, such as when the kite is resting on the water in relaunch mode. The dynamic arc allows the kite to open its span and orient the wingtips in a position to facilitate a super quick relaunch.
	The Sprint Inflation System with Airlock is the most efficient and easy way to get your kite pumped up. The large one-way Airlock valve quickly feeds air into all of the struts from a single location. The Airlock connection to the Sprint pump now requires no special adapters. Once inflated, you can lock off each strut independently to keep your kite’s rigid frame, and isolate any accidental strut deflation from the rest of the kite. When the session is over, the entire kite will deflate in seconds thanks to the Airlock valve’s large dump feature.

Internalized Lines: The protective PU tube allows us to run the depower mainline and the 1X landing line through the center of the bar without the risk of abrasion or tangling. 

Low V: We have lowered the front line connection to the CAS in order to provide a more direct and immediate response from your bar input. 

1X Security System: The 1X is not a depower system, it is a full blown shut down system. The 1X relies on only one line to immediately shut down the power of the kite whether it be on land or water in all wind conditions. 

Depower On Demand: We introduced Depower on Demand in 2005 along with our revolutionary Crossbow kite. Even today, every Cabrinha kite (except the Chaos) incorporates Depower on Demand as the default method to precisely control the power of a kite. 

Safety Floats: The EVA ends are buoyant enough to float the entire control system with lines attached. The tips have Flex grooves which aid in bending the tips while winding your lines onto the bar or while steering your kite. 

2017 Cabrinha Recoil Overdrive Adjustable Kite Control Bar "Fireball Option"

10 Reasons Why you should pick the Fireball option with your next Cabrinha Control Bar

• Better Control & Performance - Fireball focuses the feel of your kite directly to your core with minimal friction for a seamless connection between kite and rider.
• More Comfortable - The lower-profile connection point between the harness and spreader bar keeps the spreader bar from rotating into your body when the kite is overhead.
• Auto Locking Security - No more chickenloop and lock tube. The Fireball is held in place by a locking gate that holds it in the socket and is easy to engage or disengage.
• Non Binding Freedom - The Fireball's ball and socket connection allows the ultimate freedom in kite position. No resistance or friction where ever the kite is flying.
• Instantly upgrades any harness - Transform any harness to work with Cabrinha's Fireball system using the specially made spreader bar.
• Easy Security Activation - Cabrinha's 1X security system is a push-away system that instantly flags out the kite on one of the front lines.
• 2.9 Second Re-connection - Quick and easy reload of the push-away safety system. No PhD needed; insert the pin through the loop, lift then lower the push-away handle and you're good to go.
• Integrated Safety - Traditional chickenloop and different shaped spreader bars can't guarantee the security system will work every time all the time. Cabrinha's Fireball system in connection with the specially designed spreader bar ensure a safe connection and flagout.
• Never Foul Hook - Fireball's ball and socket joint will connect the same way every time. No more chickenloop rotating or coming unhooked if tension on the front lines is lost when launching or in flight.
• Purpose Built - Fireball is the new frontier of connection between kite and rider, built specifically for kiteboarding rather than repurposing the hook and loop connection from windsurfing.

2017 Cabrinha Switchblade Kite Technology

	The layout starts in segmented sections in the design software, but, in-flight its natural shape is a smooth arc. In order to make the transition between segmented and curved, we doubled the aerodynamic control by cutting each canopy panel in half at the center section, providing the ultimate curvature control which is where 90% of the performance comes from. When a kite is clean and smooth it will be faster through the sky giving you a broader range of performance.
	We offer multiple tuning options this season which completely change the way a kite flies. These options allow you to customize the feedback and bar pressure, adjust where the kite sits in the window, and balance the power/ de-power range of the kite. Cabrinha highly recommends testing the different settings for yourself to find out what feels the best to you. A = The lightest bar pressure and lightest steering initiation. B = Much more feedback, more bar pressure, shortened depower, and more steering impulse to know where the kite is.
	Power Control settings quickly adjust the power level of the kite. Each rear line “pig tail” connector has three power positions which you can connect to. The middle position is the factory recommended position. Create more power by connecting the knot closest to the kite or less power by connecting to the knot closest to the rider.
	A dynamic arc allows the kite to have two distinct arc shapes. The kite takes on one shape while flying, and another shape while in resting mode on the water. The flying shape occurs as soon as the kite gets airborne and the front lines are under tension. The flying shape is the kite’s intended shape which is optimized for the intended usage. The arc shape is held in place by a simple set of bridling. The dynamic arc shape occurs when the kite is not in flight, such as when the kite is resting on the water in relaunch mode. The dynamic arc allows the kite to open its span and orient the wingtips in a position to facilitate a super quick relaunch.
	Cabrinha’s exclusive line of high-quality woven fabrics has been designed specifically for kitesurfing. Unlike many of the generic sailcloths available in today’s kites, the Volae materials have been specially developed to our exact specifications. The development process has taken over 5 years to create this dedicated kite material, which delivers the lowest stretch and highest durability on the market.
	All Cabrinha kites are designed and built on a Skeletal Frame foundation. We start by placing the most durable, 160 gsm Dacron material into a framework that locks in the intended shape. We then create the canopy shape and profiles with a light weight yet highly durable 53 gsm polyester woven material. We build on the durability of the canopy material with a second layer of 53 gsm two-ply material over the high stress strut sections. Next, we layer into the perimeter a 75 gsm, double ripstop reinforcement material to combat the extreme loads that are placed on the trailing edge and wing tip areas of the kite. Finally, we complete the kite with details such as molded EVA chafe protectors, robust leading edge protectors, and triple row stitching at the high stress inter-segment seams near the center of the kite. We seal it all up with a woven nylon ribbon reinforcement on the leading edge closing seam.
	The Sprint Inflation System with Airlock is the most efficient and easy way to get your kite pumped up. The large one-way Airlock valve quickly feeds air into all of the struts from a single location. The Airlock connection to the Sprint pump now requires no special adapters. Once inflated, you can lock off each strut independently to keep your kite’s rigid frame, and isolate any accidental strut deflation from the rest of the kite. When the session is over, the entire kite will deflate in seconds thanks to the Airlock valve’s large dump feature.
	The 1X is not a depower system, it is a full blown shut down system. The 1X relies on only one line to immediately shut down the power of the kite whether it be on land or water in all wind conditions.

Fireball is an innovative connection method for the next generation of kitesurfing. It’s minimalist design supports a fluid and friction free ball and socket connection. This non binding connection is made to harness the dynamic forces of a kite as it flies through any part of the sky. Fireball immediately upgrades any kite and harness to deliver more control, security, and comfort than ever before.  All new 2017 control bars come with the Quickloop or Fireball option.

The 1X Overdrive Control System with the TrimLite Cleat has the premium, adjustable bar ends with our quick and easy QuickLoop opening harness loop. QuickLoop's defining feature is its extremely simple use of our 1X security system. Upon activation of 1X's single line flagging system the power of a kite is immediately killed and it will rest motionless on the water or land. The overdrive feature allows you to expand the length of the bar 8cm with a simple adjustment to increase your turning speed, while our new compact stainless steel TrimLite Cleat allows precise and positive trim adjustment.
