Cabrinha [issue # 10 Jul/Aug '04]
Cabrinha’s new light-wind weapon is the Contra, which will see you ripping in 5-10 knots of wind. Designed a little differently to the traditional arc design of other inflatables, the Contra’s ‘Pro Span’ arc produces power equivalent of a kite 2.5m2 larger. It’s lighter and faster turning too, with an increased lifting surface area. In essence, more of the canopy has a positive effect on lifting or turning. The ‘Span Limiter’ bridle has been brought in also to limit the ‘jellyfishing’ that some big kites experience. Security? Sure - it’s fully recon’d up, too. www.cabrinhakites.com
