• The Switchblade has become synonymous with versatility. Its reliability and predictability are two of the reasons why it excels as a performance wakestyle kite as well as an all-around freeride kite. The number one choice of wakestyle riders worldwide, the Switchblade delivers a stable source of power which transfers into incredible pop. Once in the air, the kite will steer effortlessly with minimal input from the rider. The Switchblade is excellent for unhooked or hooked in riding in just about any conditions. If there is one kite that can back up all of the accolades being thrown at it, it's the Switchblade wakestyle, freeride kite.
  
  The bridle has been repositioned and retuned so that a rider can quickly adjust from Wake style kite boarding into Freeride mode. The new bridle settings will provide a lighter feel and improved balance for the kite. Cabrinha has also improved their kite canopy for better looks and strength.
  
  The new Switchblade will have the all new Quicklink IDS control system. This system will be the first system to all 100% free spinning front lines, landing line and leash independently. The Switchblade Quicklink system also has a wider center hole for easier bar movement and steering the kite. Improved line winders and a removable security pin round out some of the new features in the 2012 Cabrinha Switchblade kiteboarding kite.
• One of the main upgrades for the 2012 kite is the completely transformed bar and lines; this system is much easier and is hassle free if you do a kite loop or rotation; for 2012, even more stability than 2011
• At first glance, we noticed the new diamond style print which makes it look very modern. The shape seems a bit more medium to high aspect in comparison to the 2011 model. It should me even more all around than before. It still has 5 struts, sprint inflation system and similar bridal system. The option of A or B setting on the trailing edge for changing the kite’s angle of attack in the 2011 was replaced to just one setting on the back for this year’s Switchblade. For 2012, the Switchblade is a little faster and has a little bit less bar pressure than it’s predecessor. Overall, we were really impressed that the improvements were minor since the 2011 model was almost perfect. The 2012 Cabrinha Switchblade has become synonymous with versatility. Its reliability and predictability are two of the reasons why it excels as a performance wakestyle kite as well as an all around freeride kite. The number one choice of Wakestyle riders world wide, the Switchblade delivers a stable source of power which transfers into incredible pop.
