Cabrinha Velocity 2015 Kite Review
Kite Features
The Velocity is the most versatile freeride and race kite in the 2015 Cabrinha kite line. It is a kite designed for the rider looking for the ultimate performance and solid power for racing and high end freeride. The Velocity is a competition grade kite, which has proven its efficiency over the past seasons. It is in fact the race tour champ of the 2012 and 2013 PKRA seasons.
With the Velocity you can compete without worries in world class racing events. It is a kite that delivers optimal power and massive speed, yet it is easy to control and very responsive. It is engineered using a high speed profile which allows you reach insane speed on the racing course in real world conditions.
The true bow shape assures a perfect blend between strong power delivery and user friendly control. The high aspect ratio keeps it perfectly positioned in the power zone and assures superior upwind performance. The flatter arc shape ensures increased stability and optimal control in high winds, plus quick relaunch and perfect depower. A thin bridle without pulleys on the front lines assures sharp and direct control.
The kite speeds like a rocket and can boost big airs with ease. And it does in a wide wind range. The dynamic arc design creates a tighter arc in flight for faster turning and a wide open arc on the water for faster relaunch. Thanks to Power Control Pigtails, the rider can easily adjust the power level of the kite to match the riding style. The kite is built using a skeletal frame foundation that keeps it light and crisp and maximizes its durability. The Cabrinha Velocity is IKA registered.
