CABRINHA INTELLIGENCE AGENCY Maui, Hawaii OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR I believe that the difference between a good kite and a great kite is its ability to intuitively react to the riders wishes with minimal effort and input. When it comes to security and handling it should be a seamless set of commands that flow with not against the natural direction of your body movements. Introducing IDS. The Intelligent Depower System from Cabrinha. IDS intuitively provides a level of control and handling not seen in any other kite. IDS is a simple bridle with features that are controlled by our all new Powerdrive IDS control system. IDS delivers huge gains in all areas of steering, bar pressure, interactive depower and absolute depower. The standout feature of the new IDS system is it’s two stages of depower. Depower on Demand (Stage 1), uses the same method of interactive depower that was made popular by the Cabrinha bow kites. Absolute Depower (Stage 2), takes it one step further. Absolute Depower is a method to self land your kite on the water or land by releasing all of the residual power of your kite when landed. Absolute Depower delivers security similar to a 5th line system, but without the complexity of the unnecessary 5th line. The simple Powerdrive floating bar and ease of controls for this incredible system are found on the all new IDS control system. The Powerdrive IDS also features ergonomic ends and our industry leading QR, with its highly acclaimed security use. Our board program this season changes the game with the release of our Sync Backless Binding. The Sync Backless Binding creates an entirely new method of connection to your board. This unique board connection provides a perfect compliment to the new channel bottom shapes of the Custom, Caliber and the all new Plasma light wind twin tip models. 2009 is the year where we mix our superior Bow kite outlines with the all new IDS method of security to deliver the very best of performance and control. At Cabrinha, we never stop our relentless pursuit of greatness and our quest for innovation that matters has led us to our best line of products yet. Regards, Pete Cabrinha DIRECTOR, IDS OPERATIONS

REVIEW: BOW KITE VS. NON-BOW KITE INTELLIGENCE: COMPARISON ADVANTAGES DEPOWER RANGE RELAUNCH EFFICIENCY Its often overwhelming to navigate the many different types of kites offered today. There are Bow kites, hybrid, SLE, Delta and classic C shapes. Since most kites today are comprised of slightly different outlines and a cascading bridle to support the leading edge its often to tell each of them apart from each other. Here is a quick overview of what makes a bow kite not only different, but superior in performance, efficiency and relaunch. Read on and see why the Cabrinha bow kites are...

BOW KITE: SWEPT WING TIPS. CONCAVE TRAILING EDGE BOW KITE CANOPY SHAPE MATCHES NON-BOW KITE: STRAIGHT TRAILING NON BOW KITE CANOPY SHAPE DOES NOT MATCH ARC SHAPE. WING TIPS ARE SHEETED IN CAUSING SLOWER FLIGHT SPEEDS. BOW KITE: THE CONSTANT CURVE OF THE LEADING EDGE ALLOWS THE KITE TO UNSTICK AND ROLL INTO A SIDE LAUNCH POSITION. WING TIPS ARE NATURALLY RAISED FOR INCREASED LIFT. NON BOW LEADING EDGE HAS MORE CONTACT WITH WATER. THIS COMBINED WITH LOWER WING TIPS MAKES A SLOWER RELAUNCH THE CONSTANT CURVE OF A BOW KITE LEADING EDGE UNSTICKS AND RELAUNCHES EASILY. Instant Relaunch The next...
