Innovation that Matters The sport of kiteboarding was built on the shoulders of many established and refined board sports. While kiteboarding has “borrowed” some of the best elements from each of these sports, the collective result is something completely and totally unique. Kiteboarding has come of age today to become one of the most extremely versatile board sports in history. In more ways than one, kiteboarding has respectfully transcended the very sports which have given it its life. Here at Cabrinha, we have been thinking about this for some time. Mainly, we have been thinking about...

Fireball is an innovative connection method for the next generation of kitesurfing. It’s minimalist design supports a fluid and friction free ball and socket connection. This non binding connection is made to harness the dynamic forces of a kite as it flies through any part of the sky. Fireball immediately upgrades any kite and harness to deliver more control, security, and comfort than ever before.

The Apollo is our most technically refined kite to date, designed to provide you with the most efficient power source of any kite in our range. It isn’t just about the amount of power, it’s about how it delivers it, and, how it allows you to effortlessly manage it. SURF BOARDS Our surfboard collection features an all new line up of innovative shapes that cover 3 distinct surf styles. Down the line, Crossover Surf, and Freestyle Surf. Each shape features our signature step rail design.

Fireball launches kitesurfing into a new era of performance and simplicity in design. Fireball is the first kite connection system that is purpose built for kitesurfing from the ground up. Fireball’s unique design harnesses the specific forces and movements of kiteboarding, and combines them with ergonomic form factors to create a kite connection which is a seamless extension of your body. Fireball is a sleek new approach to one of the most important points in kitesurfing… the point where the power of the kite meets the power of your body. This exact point needs to be the most secure, yet...

FIREBALL CLOSEST TO THE CORE Fireball’s ball and socket interface is a semicircular fitting that brings the pivot point of the connection extremely close to your body. Fireball’s intelligent low profile design keeps the spreader bar from rotating into your body when the pull of the kite comes from overhead. A traditional spreader bar hook leverages the bar against your body because the pivot point of a hook is positioned further away from your core. The Fireball socket is much closer to your core than a traditional hook, thus keeping the spreader bar from rotating into your body....

ROTATIONAL & NON BINDING Fireball is a non binding system which allows free, unrestricted movement no matter where the kite is located in the window. At the core of Fireball’s design is a rotating ball and socket connection, which seamlessly translates your body movements into an immediate kite reaction with a smooth, frictionless motion. A traditional hook and loop can be binding when the kite flies from side to side. It can be made even worse when a security pin is inserted. Traditional hook and loop And the best part is that with the Fireball system you will never be able to foul-hook....

FIREBALL AUTOLOCK™ INTERFACE One of the most unique things about Fireball is its intelligent locking gate. Unlike a loop and security pin system, the locking gate is positioned on the spreader bar. This means that it is available anytime you need it. It can be locked and unlocked on the fly. The secure gate design automatically seats itself into position and provides a friction free method to keep Fireball engaged into the socket. Friction-free ball & socket interface 12

With the introduction of Fireball and the Fireball spreader bar, we systematically closed the loop on kite control and security. We have closed the loop on the elements which define precise kite control, comfort and reliable security. With Fireball the entire control system of a kite is a fully integrated eco system. KITE STEERING INTERACTIVE POWER CONTROL Our control systems set the industry standard in ergonomics and form. They contain a host of onboard control points that allow interactive power delivery, precise steering, unmatched security, as well as our patented Fireball friction...

From the moment you connect to Fireball you will immediately feel Fireball uses our IX security system. To activate IX you pull the Quick the difference the ball and socket connection makes. Fireball focuses Release. Once activated, the load is immediately transferred directly to the pull of the kite directly to your core where it becomes a part the IX landing line. The kite is instantly depowered and will rest itself of your body, seamlessly translating your body movements into an on the water or land. If you need to completely disconnect from the immediate kite reaction with a...

INTERNALIZED LINES The protective PU tube allows us to run the depower mainline and the 1X landing line through the center of the bar without the risk of abrasion or tangling. LOW V We have lowered the front line connection to the CAS in order to provide a more direct and immediate response from your bar input. 1X SECURITY SYSTEM The 1X is not a depower system, it is a full blown shut down system. The 1X relies on only one line to immediately shut down the power of the kite whether it be on land or water in all wind conditions. DEPOWER ON DEMAND We introduced Depower on Demand in 2005 along...
