Default 2010 Cabrinhas from tester

For the crossbow these were asked:
1. bar pressure- depending on what setting you have the kite on the bar presure can be regulated. So what i mean is when i am going freestyle type of tricks, lighter setting and the first knot on the kite makes unhooked tricks comfortable with out alot of pull as remember with the extra struts on the cross they jump huge and have some pull so you can tune it out. I use the light setting and second knot for waves and unlike unhooked set tricks , this setting allows for fast turning and more feel of where the kite is and you can still unhook, but your not passing the bar so its all good.


2. speed and turning speed- see abouve, but with a little different profile and a guide on the briddle in the front instead of the pulley you see a speed increase along with a more smooth turning.

3. depower- still has the big top end range , but not alot more low range so i find myself riding a size down when everyone else is one size bigger and i have same jumps and tricks as them

4. relaunch- relaunch is the normal quick turn and relaunch for this kite, also when you let it sit on the water in on its side with no hands on the bar it sits very stable with no pull. I have done 4 different self launch with the cross probley 30 plus times each one and never go a briddle snag or and problems, was very clean and comfortable.

As a side note you will notice alot of other improvements on the bar and system, plus there will be some options with that. The materials on the kite are very strong and detailed sewing in the presure points......so you get "what you pay for"

Aloha

i will put up nomad and all pictures next
