Cabrinha, say it ain’t so!!!!!!
Why did they went ahead and put that Sprint system( Single point inflation)
on the Crossbow, DAMN!! that pretty much killed it for me with the 07 Crossbow, very disappointed, was waiting to see how they were going to improve on such a AWWSOME! kite and they went and put that Sprint on it, that system was the reason why I turned against Slingshot, I’ll admit, the single point inflation is a great idea, until you have to repair it and the love for the kite quickly turns into hate. The new bar system is sweeeet though, I guess 06 9m Crossbow with a 07 Crossbow bar system will be my next move. Watching the video on the 07 Crossbow,( http://www.cabrinhakites.com/bowkites/xbow.php ) the guy in that video is riding a beautiful board that I’ve never seen before, is it an 07 board?

I personally love the Sprint system, it's not to bad to replace a bladder with it IMO.
I hate pumping up the struts one by one. I just leave my struts inflated on my swithcblades when i pack them up. this kite should rock, can't wait to get one. The bar looks even more amazing.

 Click imagine to make bigger! The thing I hate about the Sprint system is all the extra parts.all the spear parts you’re going to need for it and the care and special attention you have to take with the tubing,clamps, tubing connection points that binds the leading edge to the sprunts, Pumping one strunt at a time can be a pain especially if you have a 16m + kite but the thing that makes them better to have Is if you get to the spot and you get a leak all you need is an extra kite line and bladder patch and you can repair it right there and then,30mins tops , with the Sprint system and all it’s extra parts that makes it Sprint your day is shit, if you don’t have another kite. The more parts you have on something the more things that can and will go wrong. Don’t get me wrong, I love Cabrinha. just look at car and there’s NO! one here in the Bahamas that pimps Cabrinha more than I do,but I can’t pimp that Sprint system.

I haven't had a chance to use the sprint system, i have used the One pump system with slingshot though before, and repairing that wasn't a problem.
plus if you ride bows, if one kite goes bad you can still put up a diffrent kite because of the range. Now if it were light winds that'd be a diffrent story. I personally think having the Sprint is better then pumping up all the struts one by one. There good made kites, it's not gana happen every other time you go out, it will be rare that you get a leak.

It all boils down to personal opinion, like everything else. Has anyone
ever done a speed test on the two, I wonder how much faster the Sprint is to the regular one at a time pump strunts, I hope Cabrinha sells that bar system separately. Dispite the Sprint I still can’t wait to ride it, just to see if there’s a differences in performance.The O6 Crossbow gives you massive airs and sick hang time, if the 07 gives you more of the 2 plus extra ,shit, I will get one  ops: despite my dislike for the sprint, longer hang time and bigger airs, I would gladly have my words for dinner if those claims are real :lol: .

oh well can't please every one
the one pump is fine ,it's easyer and it works there will be less chance of sand getting into your bladder.
for repairs it will be a pain , but when last did you have to fix any bladders on these new bow kites? I have not had to fix one yet.new cb bellow http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewt...837581a6164124

The CB 2 looks bad ass, the bar system looks
luxurious something off a Lexus or Benz , what’s cooler than that kite bag,WOW! The attention to detail they put into the gear is amazing Aj! with that post you have me drooling Cabrinha hands down makes the best looking and highest quality gear.AJ! what’s the price and when are you going to get one? Don’t forget I’m the unofficially test guy for new gear  . I wonder why they stopped at 12m though? Haven’t even rode the thing yet but just by looking at that kite,bar and bag and I’m already rethinking my thoughts about the sprint system. The Crossbow 1 is an assume kite and judging from how Cabrinha keeps out doing themselves each year, without a doubt C bow 2 is going to be killer.

Man! AJ! I’m dying for a new board,but, Sept 9 I’m starting some
Computer course, so All my change is for that I’m sure by the next windy Season I will have one, that 06 120 protoy I have my eyes on But I remember you telling me about 07 Cabrinha boards so, I’ll be patient and see how 07 board line is going to look like, I do hope they make sizes in 120? In the mean time let’s experiment on my other 140 lab rat.
