Very well put Rory! and thank you for your exprienced overview of the Cabrinha Switchblade kite. I have only been kiting for about 18 mths and have not flown as many different brands of kite as you but I am here to echo your sentiments 110%. I have been pushing myself and my equipment to the limit and have found my SB exceeds my expectations! I was out on Sunday in the conditions shown on the following graph. I was setup on the beach opposite kite island waiting for the se to hit and boy did it come in
as you would know because you were one of the only other kiters I saw out there (heaps of poleys, c'mon kiters
) for that 2 hours of awesomeness. Was only expecting 25 kts but had to deal with gusts of up to 39 kts on my 12m
. As stated before had an awsome time and felt completely safe on my Cabrinha even when having to self land in those conditions. I also would like to mention the crew at Surf FX for their experienced advice, great deals and all round pleasure to deal with (no pushy salesmen
)
Good Winds to all!
Craig
