2024 Cabrinha 04 Switchblade Kiteboarding Kite

2024 Cabrinha Switchblade

The Icon. Reimagined.

The most legendary kite in kiteboarding is back for its 17th year, and it’s better than ever. The 2024 Cabrinha Switchblade builds on nearly two decades of performance, trust, and progression with a fresh redesign that’s lighter, faster, and more playful—without losing the stability and predictability that made it iconic.

Using advanced materials like HTD Lite Dacron, Ultralite bladders, and a newly integrated Structural Canopy Frame, Cabrinha has reduced the kite's weight while enhancing its steering speed and responsiveness. The result? A smoother, more agile Switchblade that still delivers the powerful lift, effortless upwind ability, and legendary big-air capabilities it's known for.

If you’re looking for a kite that does it all—and does it with style—the 2024 Switchblade is your go-to.
