2017 Cabrinha Fireball Connection System

MACkite's thoughts on the 2017 Cabrinha Fireball!
Like a comet from the sky set to change the landscape as we know it, Cabrinha’s newest offering to the kiteboarding community is Fireball – a kite connection system. Fireball is specifically designed with kiteboarding in mind, with features that will most definitely change the way you ride.
Fireball changes the most important piece of equipment in kiteboarding
The connection point between you and the kite. Before Fireball, we were limited by the natural restrictions of a hook and security pin setup. This all-new connection creates a fluid and seamless feel that represents a step in the right direction for kiteboarding. Still not convinced? Here’s the 411…

What could possibly be the most secure safety system available.
- Safety: Fireball effectively closes the loop, creating what could possibly be the most secure safety system available. Fireball is designed to work perfectly in sync with the Fireball Spreader Bar and your Cabrinha kite, allowing the test and design team to ensure 100% effectiveness of the release and safety system. Foul hooking is now a thing of the past, and you can be sure that your connection will stay where it’s designed to be.
- Comfort: With Fireball, you’ll no longer have the upward pull of your spreader bar or a uncomfortable restricted movement from a traditional connection to your kite.
- Performance: Fireball allows for full 360-degree range of motion with a connection point that is as close as possible to your core. This will translate to a more direct and smooth feel when controlling your kite.
