Description

The longest running and most successful kite in the industry is back for it’s 17th year, and what a year it is.

The kite that spawned not only a style of riding but also a whole generation of kiters has evolved into the highest performing Cabrinha Switchblade to date.

Taking the known Switchblade DNA, the creatives in the Design Works team have evolved this 5 strut design through use of new technologies, construction techniques and internal adjustments, to give a more playful, lighter feeling kite, while still remaining predictable and stable.

This Lite Series kite utilizes the HTD Lite materials which make this the lightest Switchblade to date. Combined with the Integrated Structural Canopy (ISC) we have been able to greatly reduce the weight of the kite while increasing longevity and improving steering speed.
