The much anticipated 2013 Cabrinha gear has arrived. We'll be demoing the full range this Saturday at Altona beach (pier end). Just look for the flags, and mass of Cabrinha kites and boards. It looks like we'll be getting a southerly coming through, but if that fails beers and pizza back at the shop. Otherwise, things will kick off around 12.








see you down there !

Bridled C-Kite?? I think I remember Pete saying many years back that he will never EVER make a C-Kite again...

Did you get the new Custom in?

Yep, great to see they changed their mind! I will have a few sizes down at Altona on Sat.
Custom is due to arrive tomorrow along with a few other boards.

checked out the 2013 switchblade, had some slight problems with self landing as pulling the center lines doesnt seem to do much. is cabrinha thinking that pinning off is going to be the new way of landing a kite?

Switchblade has had some huge improvements, if you put the 2012 and 2013 next to each other you can see its had alot of changes made. I find the 2013 SB much better than the last few years.

I will release the kite on the landing line and let you know how it goes for me. I normaly just walk up the centre lines on all kite's i have used with a Y. Anyway will test it.

I hope someone has forewarned the trees, parks vic and the fire brigade.

We all know how Cabs love trees!!!

Maybe that's why Cab have gone all green and Eco!!
To pay back what the kites and their safety trigger happy flyers have taken.

All the best with your day guys

We were there from 11 to about 4pm.
Wind came through with the clouds.

I think what impressed the most was the new Switchblade and Xcaliber and of course the clean bar system. Guys who normally ride C4's, C kites and core riots all liked it which was interesting.

Oh the pump went down well too.

Should be some reviews on the way.

I saw you guys all jump up like jack-rabbits when that 17knot came through! Awesome sight seeing all those Cabrihnas up in the air. Good to see what was perhaps the first jumps and airs for 2012-13. Well done Steve.

You should have come down and tried some of the kites.
Yep it was great to see everyone testing the gear.

I was standing on the beach talking and launching so didnt get a chance to get out which sucks!
