FREERIDE KITE CABRINHA SWITCHBLADE 2024
The longest-running and most successful kite in the industry is back for its seventeenth year, and what a year it's been.
The kite that spawned not only a style of riding but an entire generation of kiters has evolved into the highest-performing Switchblade to date.
Taking the familiar Switchblade DNA, the creatives at Design Works have evolved this 5-strut design through the use of new technologies, construction techniques, and internal tweaks, to deliver a kite with a more playful and lighter feel, while remaining predictable and stable.
This Lite Series kite uses HTD Lite materials, making it the lightest Switchblade to date. Combined with the Integrated Structural Canopy (ISC), we've been able to significantly reduce the kite's weight while increasing longevity and improving steering speed.
