02 Contra 1S Kiteboarding Kite

OVERVIEW

1 Strut Hybrid design, Low drag wing tips, Draft forward profiles

• Lightweight 1-strut design
• Heavy duty closing seam construction
• Nano Ripstop Canopy, the benchmark in durability, stability and responsiveness
• High Tenacity Dacron for enhanced arc stability and improved handling characteristics
• Strategic canopy reinforcements in high stress areas
• Pure Profile Panels for efficient aerodynamics
• Agile and responsive steering for increased power delivery
• Superior drift characteristics and underpowered steering response
• Effortless relaunch in the lightest wind conditions

MAC's Take

Since its inception almost 20 years ago, the Contra has been an absolute machine for lightwind conditions. This naturally led to Cabrinha's designers looking at it for use with foiling, a super natural progression for the kite. The 1-strut iteration drops a lot of the weight that the 3-strut has, allowing for flight in much lighter conditions. Pair that with a quick response time and you've got an ultra foiling machine.

OVERVIEW

3 strut hybrid design, low drag wing tips, draft forward profiles.

• Effortless relaunch in the lightest of wind conditions

MAC's Take:

Grunty and effortlessly lightweight, the Contra 3S has been a staple of the lightwind kiting community for years and 2022 is no different. Surprisingly nimble in the smaller sizes, the Contra makes for a fun session when everyone else is standing on shore stuck staring at the water.

2022 CABRINHA SWITCHBLADE PRODUCT REVIEW

When we talk about kite legacy, longevity and performance here at MACkite, the Switchblade is always at the top of the list. If you are just learning how to body drag, or practice your mega loops for the next KOTA, look no further: this is the kite for you. Coming into its 18th year on the market, the 2022 Switchblade arrives with some stellar performance upgrades. With the all new ceramic pulleys and a redesigned and rebalanced bridle system, the Switchblade has been updated to have the option for a faster turning speed and to lighten up the overall feel of the kite, making it not so grunty. This supercharged 5 strut is going to boost even higher because of the faster turning speed and add more control on the landings. The Switchblade paired with any of Cabrinha's Overdrive control bars make for a match made in heaven.
