this year Cabrinha has done it again, they made a good kite even better.
I had some great sessions on my Nomad 11m in light and strong wind, where there was a bit of a lack of light wind ability, they have put a lot of effort into the new 11m low end power.
I can rider this kite just from a bit above 10kt wt my Caliber 133 whilst other riders still struggle to ride on 12 and 14s.
Another great thing they added is the bar pressure, it got lighter than last year but still enough to feel where ur kite is a every moment of ur ride.
The turning speed got a bit faster too, so it's goin more into the field of a wave kite as well, while keepin all the good things of a freestyle kite. This is the kite of choice of most Cabrinha riders when it comes to freestyle. His looping ability's are just awesome, it pulls all the way thru the loop without letting u slam the water before his back up and supporting ur landing.
I'm really looking forward to test my small 7m Nomad soon as well, as i only had a little teaser on it yet, but sure the time will come where we hit the 20kt again on Boracay.
The new Caliber is another step forward for the board range of Cabrinha, it has more flex in the tip end then last year and it pop's u out of the water like no other board andlanding hasen't been easier, due to the full quad concave that now goes all the way thru the center. It has also a very good early planning, so when u combine it wt the nomad 11 it gets u up and goin in no wind.
all in all a must buy package... Read Full...
