The 2023 Cabrinha 03S CONTRA is the ultimate kite for light wind riding, carrying on the legacy of its predecessor from 20 years ago. This kite has earned a special place in the quivers of many kiters, serving as their go-to choice for all-around riding or as a lifesaver when conditions are challenging. With the 03S CONTRA, you can experience the next level of performance and control. Order yours today and discover what makes this kite truly exceptional.

This year sees the largest evolution to the Contra legacy.

Through the use of HTD Lite and the Lite Frame technology we have been able to reduce the weight of the kite by 15%, allowing it to perform even better in those threshold winds.

The three-strut design makes this kite the go to for light wind twin tip riding, and also makes it the best jumping light wind kite we have ever developed.

Efficient control and power allows the rider to concentrate on their riding, not the kite.

LITE FRAME

The Lite Frame has the benefits of the proven HTD Lite Dacron along with a refined canopy design to provide the lightest most reactive kites to date. This light-weight frame increases the range and performance of your product.

HTD LITE

The next evolutionary jump in inflatable structures is HTD Lite. We took the superior benefits of the proven HTD material to which have superior elongation control and combined it with a superior reflex bias recovery and lighter weight construction to elevate the response characteristics and range of the kite.
