Cabrinha Swichblade 2024

In the past a lighter kite was used for just one thing. Lighter wind performance. Back then to achieve this lighter weight, riders typically had to sacrifice durability and features to get the most out of the threshold winds.

We are now in a new generation of not only kiteboarding, but also material developments.

Advancements have been going on for the past years, and through the work with the Cab Design Works team and the best manufacturers in the world, we have been able to develop new materials and designs, which not only help riders get out in those marginal winds, but also perform at the other extremes of our sports.



Lighter weight materials used to mean one thing, less support and stability. This was fine on large kites in 10kts of wind, but no benefit at all to smaller kites, stronger winds, or just extreme styles of riding. The new HTD Lite materials and also materials featured on the Apex series of products such as Ultra HT and Ultra HP take the material performance to an all-new level. All the new materials sport a lower weight of at least 15% against traditional materials, but the biggest leaps have come in points like reduced elongation, increased response and reflex and even bias control.

Technology:

While a lot of focus in the industry is on materials, there are many other aspects of kite design that are ready for a make over. In the 04 Range the Cab Design Works Team took to task and focused on these smaller details which in the end have a high effect on kite performance, weight and durability.
