The Convert kiteboarding kite meets the demand for a kiteboarding kite that can handle a wide range of conditions, kiteboarder styles and skill levels. It’s better suited to a wider range of skill levels over last year’s kite model. For the beginner it has easy handling , smooth power delivery and good amounts of depower. With no back stalling issues and great stability through gusts the Convert kiteboarding kite inspires confidence. For the advanced kiteboarder, this kite has big jumping and glide capability. The Convert kiteboarding kite pulls smoothly while unhooked and can easily satisfy intermediate freestyle maneuvers. The wind range is great also as Test Team member, Dan Steiner described, “This kite is very grunty for its size…great low-wind performance, I was powered on a 9 m when others were on 12s...great hang time and pop for airs. Super smooth!” The IDS bridle system also offers up the quickest and easiest relaunch of the test. Simply pull in the back line about six inches and the Convert is flying again. The biggest safety innovation so far this year is Cabrinha’s new Absolute Depower. Made possible by the IDS bridle system and in conjunction with the Powerdrive IDS control bar, this system lets the rider completely flag the kite by engaging a highly evolved mini fifth line. It’s the ultimate for anyone who needs to self land on the beach and wants the added safety of a five-line system with the simplicity and range of a four-line bridled kite.
