Teijin D2 Canopy Material
Lightweight with exceptional bias control, the Teijin D2 Material works hand in hand with the Ultra HT to provide the best in performance and reactivity.
Direct Control
A no pulley bridle gives you lighter feeling, increased reaction time and an overall more responsive kite.
Ultimate Performance
The most versatile kite in the industry allows for use in the widest range of conditions and variety of riding styles.
Sheet And Go
It doesn’t get any easier no matter what the wind condition. Power up the kite and ride away.
All Angles
With incredible upwind performance the unique profiles of the Switchblade help deliver incredible efficiency at any wind speed to keep you upwind while others are doing the walk of shame.
Ultra HT
Developed exclusively for kite leading edges, this is a strong, stable, and exceptionally responsive material. Ultra HT reduces the weight of the leading edge and struts while boasting incredibly low elongation and response. A unique and proprietary coating process increases durability and performance unlike anything you have felt before.
Teijin D2 Ripstop Canopy
Engineered to provide a lightweight material with exceptional bias control and recovery, the Teijin D2 Material works hand in hand with the Ultra HT material on the Apex kites to provide the next level in performance and reactivity.
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.
2026 Airframe
A single point inflation system engineered for simplicity, durability, and global compatibility. Its streamlined design ensures quick setup and pack down, delivering the reliability and confidence to perform in any condition.
Apex Bridles
Cabrinha’s new apex bridles are thinner and have lower elongation that optimises efficiency and steering. The reduced diameter lines increase airflow efficiency as airflow passes between the lines.
Switchblade DNA
DNA is the genetic chain that defines who or what we are. When redesigning the kite we made sure that one of the DNA stands came from the Switchblade while the other is a new updated twist based on the findings from the Design Works team.
