2019 Cabrinha FX Kiteboarding Kite

 

Do you find yourself dreaming of progression? Have you been riding the same kite for years? Is unhooking on your radar? What about kiteloops? If you answered yes to any of those questions the FX is the kite you want to ride this year.

When Cabrinha introduced this kite in 2016 it became a shop favorite. Appealing to intermediate and advanced riders looking for something responsive, reactive, and playful.

Four years later the FX has emerged as the premier crossover freestyle kite. Excellent pop and slack, an impressive wind range. Best of all, it appeals to riders across the spectrum who demand a kite that responds more to rider feedback.

Essentially, if you demand more control, more performance, and more fun from your kite the FX will make a solid addition to your quiver.

What Cabrinha has to say about the 2019 FX
For riders that mix hooked and unhooked freestyle tricks, love jumping big and kiteloops.
The world of Freestyle / Crossover kiting has evolved into an exciting genre in our sport. Once a very narrow and technical discipline is now a mix of technical tricks and massive aerial maneuvers, both hooked-in and unhooked. For this, you need a kite with the sensitivity and slack when unhooked and the ability to boost a massive hooked-in kite loop.
The FX delivers on these two fronts and more with the power and handling to take your riding seriously.
