Cabrinha Kites 2026

Cabrinha Kites 2026 — The Complete Range

Cabrinha's kite lineup for 2026 continues the brand's tradition of offering distinct, purpose-built models for every riding style — from the world's most popular beginner kite to dedicated wave and freestyle platforms. Each model is designed in Maui and tested in the consistent trade winds and ocean surf that define Cabrinha's development environment.

The Cabrinha Kite Range

The Switchblade remains the cornerstone of the range — its delta-hybrid design offers a wide depower range, excellent relaunch, and comfortable bar pressure that works for beginners and experienced riders alike. The Drifter is Cabrinha's wave-specific design, built to drift downwind and relaunch efficiently in surf. The FX is the freestyle kite: direct, stiff, and explosive for unhooked tricks.

The Moto is the entry-level all-rounder, designed for beginners who want a stable, confidence-inspiring first kite. The Moto X is the performance version — adding boost and hangtime for riders progressing beyond basics. For foiling, the Contra offers extraordinary upwind angle and light-wind performance.
