Cabrinha Contra Aether 2023/2024 Kite

PERFORMANCE LIGHTWIND / FREERIDE

There is something truly liberating and free when riding a Hydrofoil.

This is further heightened when you are able to ride in winds that were not previously thought possible. Conditions where the water is still, and the only noise is the apparent wind in your ears as you glide across the ocean.

A kite that not only allows you explore these threshold winds, but also keeps you in control when the winds pick up, or you change your choice of board.

The single strut design and the use of the Hybrid Frame and HRD Lite materials, gives you an incredibly nimble and light kite to fly, allowing you to use much smaller sizes of product to maximize foil boardings true potential. Feather weight control and amazing drift characteristics allow you focus on your riding and not the kite.

• LIGHTWIND OPTIMISATION: Designed with the main focus to be ridden in the threshold winds where most kites can't perform.
• AGILE AND NIMBLE: Single strut design allows the kite to twist and react like no other.

Technology:

• HTD HYBRID FRAME: The Frame is the basis on which a kite is built. Utilizing a fusion of the two HTD materials as well as a reduced weight throughout the trailing edge, the Hybrid Frame provides the response and durability needed to take your kiting to an all-new level.
• SPRINT 3.0: The new Sprint 3.0 inflation system increases air flow from leading edge to the strut. The new straight and angled valves allow for no kinking of the inflation tube. It's secure fit design also allows for easy maintenance.
• BULLET PROOF BUMPERS: These new Durable TPU bumpers are strong, lightweight and durable. They crossover protecting the canopy to LE sewing. A new manufacturing process helps with abrasion when the kite is resting on a hard surface.
