If it’s not the best selling kite in the world, what is?
The SB works perfectly for beginners as well as expert riders.  It’s that good.
One of the most versatile big jumping kites ever made.
Buy a SB and you won’t outgrow it unless you have a specific riding style where one of Cabrinha’s other kites would be preferred.

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

The Gift that keeps on giving. The kite that has defined a whole generation is back with the largest performance boosting its history.The all new design of last year has been further developed through the use of Apex materials to allow the rider to explore the feeling of a three strut kite, but with the support and confidence that a five strut kite can offer.The introduction of Ultra HT to the Switchblade really allowed Pat Goodman and the design team to tweak out that extra response that he always knew was there on this kite.No matter what style of riding you do, on what ever type of board, the new Switchblade is as predictable as ever, giving you the confidence to enjoy Mother Natures best qualities without worrying about what the kite is doing.
