The new Cabrinha Switchblade IDS kiteboarding kites are SUPER stable and provided the most consistant delivery of power.

It is the best compromise between the Convert and the Crossbow kite offering a bit of both kites into this one kite!

IDS - Intelligent Depower System

Powerdrive IDS Control System

Light Bar Pressure

New Durability Measures

Improved Airlock airflow

The Cabrinha Switchblade IDS kiteboarding kite is the best compromise bewteen the Convert and the Crossbow kiteboarding kites. It is the best for all around handling. Labeled as a wakestyle and freeriding kite, it is perfect for any skill level! Thanks to the addition of IDS(Intelligent Depower System) you have more control at your fingertips than you ever thought possible.

The Switchblade IDS is the dedicated freestyle kite of Cabrinha’s highly evolved bow-kite range. It offers direct, light bar feel with easy handling characteristics and smooth pull while unhooked. Equipped with Cabrinha’s exclusive Intelligent Depower System, this year’s Switchblade is better equipped to bridge into the freeride realm and make any rider feel like a pro.

Bar setup and safety systems
The new Powerdrive IDS control bar has 1:1 four-line setup, all-new ergonomic grip and streamlined design with soft EVA bar ends. These new bar ends move the pivot point of the lines right to the bar itself and they also double as flotation devices. The quick-release loop remains the same, but the new Absolute Depower system features a below-the-bar, mini fifth-line safety attachment.



Key kite features
Cabrinha has a reputation for building the highest quality kiteboarding kite. They are also know for leading the industry in new technology, such as the new IDS bridle system, Sprint single-point inflation, improved LE closing seam, new bridle pulleys, new pulley bridle line and an improved airlock valve.

On-water performance
The Switchblade kiteboarding kite has built a big following over the past few years, and it has been a catalyst for many C-kite riders to finally accept the bow kite as a legitimate unhooked performer. The biggest change we found between the Switchblade 3(2008) and the IDS(2009) was its quick upwards pull and unreal glide. It is one of the easiest kites on the test for lofting big jumps, and its stability and smooth pull lends confidence to any level of rider.

Kitty Hawk Kites considers the Switchblade kiteboarding kite to be the best kite for unhooked freestyle riding. Smooth depower and good stability also make the Switchblade adequate for freeriding and waves. The quick and easy relaunch of the IDS also makes this kiteboarding kite a good choice for quick big-surf relaunching. This is a versatile kite and an excellent travel companion. The IDS is a breakthrough, lending confidence to self-landing on the beach or other emergency scenarios. Simply push the bar away from you and engage the Absolute Depower to allow complete flagging of the kite from the IDS front-line bridles.

Bottom line
The Switchblade 4 is sure to impress its many followers. This fourth-generation bow kite dominates the freestyle discipline. It has some great jumping character and control that better crosses into general freeride or wave disciplines.

The Switchblade IDS is a performance kite with a direct, light bar feel, and easy handling capabilities. The Switchblade excels in the competition wakestyle arena but is simple enough to make any rider feel like a pro.

2009 Prodigy Kiteboard by Cabrinha Kiteboarding

Cabrinha’s newest kiteboard, the Prodigy is the ideal kiteboard for beginners. With less rocker and a flatter bottom, the Prodigy will plane easier and earlier. This means it takes less kite power to get on plane. This is not only for beginners because you can use less kite power, but it also makes the board perfect for the lighter summer winds!

The wider size gives you lots of floatation without adding a lot to the length. This also helps the kiteboard to plane with less kite power, but allows it to be manageable in the moderate to higher winds as well since it has less water line exposed to the water.

The Prodigy kiteboard will get a kiteboarder tracking up wind with a smooth ride. . Fast, smooth, easy, and very, very aggressive the Prodigy kiteboard excels as a kiteboard for lighter winds and for your first kiteboard.
