From the company that brought you the revolutionary Crossbow and Switchblade kites, we introduce to you the all new Contra kite from Cabrinha. The Contra is designed from the ground up as a specialized light wind performance kite.
The Contra bow kite from Cabrinha has by-passed several generations of traditional design to emerge as the leading light wind specialized kite. What makes the Contra so incredible is its unmatched efficiency and performance in the light wind arena.

Through the use of Pro Span Extreme™, faster flying profiles, and the latest in cutting edge bow technology we are able to make your largest kite feel and behave like a smaller performance kite. We have substantially reduced the Contra’s bar pressure through the use of our unique bridle configuration.
 
Light wind riding is no longer a second rate alternative. With the Contra’s incredible range of depower you can ride with confidence knowing that the power control is now where is should be.... right in your hands.

The Sprint™ inflation system is a simple to use feature to quickly inflate your kite to an even pressure. The Sprint™ system uses a single inflation point to connect your high volume, two way Cabrinha pump. As you pump your kite with air, all struts and your leading edge inflate quickly and simultaneously to the desired pressure. The supplied leash pump and threaded valve connection keeps your kite under control even when pumping up directly in the wind.   Once the kite is pumped you can choose to clip off, or isolate the air contained in the struts. This way if you damage a strut while in use, the rest of the kite will continue to maintain its pressure. At the end of the session you can choose to deflate your kite completely by disengaging the strut air clips. Or you can keep your struts inflated and put your kite away rolled up so that the next session will takes just minutes to set up.

The Override unit is set at the factory in the position where the kite starts to lose its power. The area between the unit and the Centerline Adjustment Strap is called the Override mode. To depower the kite, push the control system into the Override mode. If the stopper unit is seated onto its sleeve you will need to unseat it with a firm push. When the control bar is pushed into the Override mode, the kite will lose its power and immediately begin to drop from the sky.
The recovery couldn’t be any simpler. Just grab ahold of the control bar, straighten the lines and its ready to relaunch again. If you want to re-set the Override stopper unit just pull it back onto the sleeve until it clicks into place.

 
   
When launching the kite from land it is recommended to leave the Override stopper unit off of it’s sleeve so that the kite can be depowered immediately by placing the bar into the Override mode.

This kite will get you up and riding when everyone is sitting on the beach!
