The Cabrinha Convert is the newest generation of all-round freeride kites. The Cabrinha Convert is simply the easiest and most secure way to get a kiter up and riding in the shortest amount of time, with the least amount of hassles.

The Cabrinha Convert is a full scale Bow kite from leading edge to trailing edge. This design delivers an incredibly wide wind range, stable easy handling and perhaps the most important feature on any kite: and thats an enhanced relaunch function that is second to none.

The 2008 Cabrinha Convert is a bow kite and represents an improvement on last year’s Cabrinha Omega. It offers an all-around freeride kite that’s great for a variety of conditions and styles. The 2008 Cabrinha Convert is a true bow kite and is a high-performance machine that is easy to handle across a huge wind range. The Cabrinha Convert is simply the easiest and most secure way to get you up and riding in the shortest amount of time, with the least amount of hassles. From leading edge to trailing edge, the bow design brings easy handling and super relaunch. And the relaunch is really chill: take my word for it.

Cabrinha Convert 2008 offers:

  • Good relaunch
  • Single-point inflation system
  • Real robust construction
  • Extra dacron on leading edge, wing tips, struts and trailing edge

In 1:1 mode the pulleys are disabled, virtually eliminating bar pressure and offering a smooth power and depower band that is great for freeriding and unhooked wakestyle riding. The Cabrinha Convert comes with the versatile Cabrinha Powerdrive 2N1 control system, which allows you to ride in the 2:1 mode with pulleys, or in the 1:1 mode without pulleys. In the 2:1 setting the pulleys effectively double your inputs when steering, powering and depowering, resulting in fast responsivenes.

BE Sure to ride the cabrinha convert in 1:1 Mode -WithouT PUlleys - It is slower but brings less bar pressure -NO Bullshit-

Of course Cabrinha Kites offers the best bar system in the industry.

The feature packed Convert comes standard with:
Sprint. Cabrinha’s single point inflation system. You can easily inflate the kite by connecting the pump to a single valve. Override 2. The ability to depower on demand by just pushing the control bar away from the rider. In 2:1 mode the pulleys effectively double the steering, powering and depowering inputs. For the amount of distance you move the control bar you effectively double the reaction on the kite.

All in all the Cabrinha Convert has made kiting never easier, so thnx Pete Cabrinha…

  1. Hi Admin, :)

    Can you tell me what is the difference between 2007 and 2008 model of Cabrinha Convert kite?

    Cheers,

  2. Cabrinha produces good kites. I have florn the convert once, and there is not much dfiference with the 2007 (except in price). But I must say I have always been a fan of the Switchblade http://www.kiteboarding-history.com/cabrinha-switchblade-9m-2006/ for some reason.
