2012 Cabrinha Switchblade 12 m Complete - Repaired - $1450

Wasn't able to edit my original post so I am adding another.

Below are the photos of the kite. Repair was done by Kite Sushi Charlie in Hatteras. He does great work and has repaired a lot of our kites in the past and we have never seen any of his repairs fail. This includes one that was ripped in half the entire length of the center spar. Two small rips were covered under one repair as you can see in the photo's.

New bar is awesome and I feel is Cabrinha's best and safest yet. The below the bar swivel allows for an very easy way to untwist your center lines by turning it with your hand. New leash attachment ring is much easier to use than on the 2009-2011 bars. It also swivels around the chicken loop and lets you keep your leash on either the left or right side. IDS activation is easier and the center IDS line has a much stronger attachment point to the chicken loop than the older bars. You can pull the IDS all day and never have to worry about your kite accidentally cutting free unless you want it to. If you do ultimately need the cut away feature, it is activated by pulling down on the red disc in the chicken loop with 2 fingers. Much easier and faster to engage than the their previous design of clumsy, small red ball on the side of the chicken loop when all hell is breaking loose.

Pics are below. Happy to discuss more just PM me.
