What Best has to say:
Charge every wave
Get ready for the ride of your life. It is all about down the line riding, the commitment as you turn into the wave and your love of big hacks and sprays. Our passion and endless search for the perfect wave kite are reflected in the development of the Cabo. Share the feeling with us and try out our ultimate wave kite, the Cabo.
With its light weight, Tri-strut design and swept tips the Cabo is capable of sitting further back in the window to follow you down the line with impeccable downwind drift as you concentrate on finding your perfect line and sweet spot in the pocket. The combination of open-C platform and short Reactive Micro Bridle with new sliders works in harmony to maximize turning speed and kite feedback. With low bar pressure and amazing stability hooked or unhooked the Cabo always lets you ride the wave and forget about flying the kite.
Because the waves that you ride demand respect we build the Cabo Surf Tough. We have included Double Core Rip Stop, Canopy Framing and our new Twist-Lock LE valve to ensure the Cabo can survive any wave you can line up for. For 2014 we've revised the wingtip shape for more responsive turn-in and created a new harmonized-arc LE profile to deliver greater stability and smoother power delivery in gusty conditions. With an increased sweet spot and greater low end you'll be able to ride a smaller size than you expected.
The Cabo is the number one choice of Pedro Henrique and Nuno 'Stru' as they compete in wave events all around the globe as it's sure to always let them express their unique strapless styles. This season we've introduced a new 8m size to the line up to give you the perfect kite size choice in all conditions. If wave riding means everything to you, like it does to R&D team members Peter Stiewe and Jordi Modolell then you should own a Cabo so you can charge every wave.
RP Bar V4: 47cm, 52cm, 57cm
Your bar is the cockpit of your kite and we've engineered the RP-Bar to match your expectations. Packed with innovative technology and advanced construction features the RP-Bar is the definitive 4-line kite control bar.
The improved Pro-cuff+ QR is easier to service and activate. With a new grip pattern and retaining bungees it releases a 250kg load with one of the lowest trigger pressures on the market and meets international testing standards. Our Pinless Safety Leash connects your kite to your harness and is fitted with a mini version of the Pro-cuff+ QR that's easy and reliable to use. Low friction Delrin Bar Inserts help eliminate depower line wear and hold your chickenloop rock solid when you ride unhooked.
Above the bar you'll find a depower cleat that provides you with easy one handed depower. You can adjust your bar travel, depower reach and cleat height. Used with our revised back line adjusters you now have absolute control over how your bar is rigged. We've added a new Front Line Tidy above the depower that connects your front flying and safety lines together keeping them tangle free and allowing you to swap between single front/left or dual front line safety. All flying lines have been upgraded with a new slick line coating and we've added more color to make rigging easier. Naturally we've kept the dual Depower Stopper to take the strain off your arms and it works in tandem with the Redline Safety giving you comfort and control that you can trust.
The Underbar Swivel has a larger bearing surface and more aggressive grip pattern to make un-spinning your lines even easier. All flying and depower lines have a new low friction coating that keeps the sand out of the weave and enhances durability. We've topped the bar off with new BABEs (Big Ass Bar Ends), hiding our lightweight, composite reinforced plastic bar ends inside even softer and more face-friendly EVA bar end covers.
The RP-Bar is improved with new and innovative product features for 2014 and we've refined all those that made it such a smash hit with riders last year. It's the most advanced and safest bar we've ever made and the perfect complement to any of our 4-line kites. Pick one up today and start learning to fly by wire.
