The Switchblade is the ultimate freeride / crossover kite that all freeride kiteboarding kites aspire to. The Cabrinha Switchblade offers the best of both worlds - High performance and ease of use for all levels of riders. The ability to jump from one discipline to another makes it the perfect kite for almost any rider. Go kite surfing, boost big or throw down technical pro style moves - the Swithclbade will get you there. How does the Swithcblade do this? Precise handling - this is the key feature in the 2015 Cabrinha Switchblade that allows you to ride all styles of riding from freeride to free style to surf. The 2015 will give you maximum control with only a light touch of the bar. The Switchblades profile provides that low end grunt you want in light winds but still gives you incredible ability to release power when the winds increase. One Switchblade kite often has the wind range of 2 other kites because of it unique ability to get you going in light winds and still depower into the high winds. We love the five strut design for the rock solid stability of the canopy in all winds and whether the kite is powered up or not.

  • Largest wind range of any kite we carry
  • Ease of use - from beginner to advanced - you just can't miss
  • Big hang time - boost it up and stay up

What Cabrinha has to say about the 2015 Switchblade

After ten years of refinement, the Switchblade kite from Cabrinha is held as the benchmark for which all crossover/freeride kites must aspire to. Its success lies in its uncommon blend of high performance and ease of use. The Switchblade will easily crossover from freeriding to freestyle to surf on any given day. The common element in each of these riding styles is precise handling; and this is where the Switchblade shines. The Switchblade provides maximum control with a light bar touch. The SB's high performance profiles deliver the power needed in light winds and the ability to dump the power in strong winds.
