What Cabrinha has to say:

Design Profile: A premium performance freeride kite engineered for riders seeking the lightest feel and ultimate responsiveness.

The all new Switchblade Design Works has been developed specifically to work with the unique characteristics of Aluula construction.

Using the proven Switchblade DNA of predictable, confidence-inspiring handling, the Design Works version delivers a lighter, stiffer, and more reactive feel, giving riders improved responsiveness, greater efficiency, and support through an even larger wind range.

The introduction of the Vert-X Bridle provides even more choice in how the kite flies, allowing riders to choose between the Unify High-Y or Low-V configuration to fine tune handling characteristics and overall ride feel.
