High-Performance BIG-air, freestyle & freeride kite

The Cabrinha Switchblade 2022 brings some further innovations in the design and the technologies of one of the most iconic kites from the Hawaiian brand.

A trusted friend of both beginner and advanced kiters, hands down the Cabrinha Switchblade kite has written many pages of kitesurfing history setting new records, winning competitions, and bringing new people into the sport.

For 2022 Cabrinha updated the Switchblade focusing on further improving its performances in terms of durability, fast response, boost and hang time.

New Ceramic Pulleys & bridle configuration:

The bridling structure has been completely redesigned and rebalanced, thus improving the speed and the feeling of the kite. The Switchblade 2022 now feels lighter, faster, and offers more control while jumping.

5 Struts Construction & Open Design

The 5 strut construction of the Switchblade makes sure that you will be in control at all times, also in the gustiest conditions. While its open profile makes for a generous wind range and the feature many of you are after: a great hang time!

Boosting and jumping high has never been so simple as with the 2022 Cabrinha Switchblade!

The Wakestyle Team Opinion and Review

We're fans of the Switchblade since the time when, back in the days, Cabrinha was sponsoring Mr. Andre Philip, who was pushing the wakestyle boundaries hitting rails and street-like features in beautiful Antigua & Barbuda.

But apart from being an established freestyle and BIG-air machine, the Cabrinha Switchblade is also known for its user-friendly characteristics and flying abilities.

The 2022 Cabrinha Switchblade can take you from your first meter on the water to the sickest unhooked maneuvers, the biggest jumps, and the highest loops. If you are looking for a responsive and user-friendly freeride boosting machine then the Cabrinha Switchblade is the kite to go!
