  • KEY FEATURES

    EFFORTLESS RELAUNCH

    Even in the lightest of wind conditions the Contra gives you the confidence to try tricks knowing any mishaps won't mean a swim in.

    REFINED LOWEND

    The Contra specializes in incredible upwind performance even in minimal wind speeds. Dubbed the 'Session Saver’ the Contra has become synonymous with light wind riding and a favorite with many who never want to miss a day of kitesurfing.

    AGILE STEERING

    Big kite, small kite feeling, thanks to the Contra's agile and responsive steering and increased power delivery.

    ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE

    No matter what your craft or discipline, the Contra’s performance features make it a standard kite in every quiver, not only to maximise water time but to thrive and progress.

    LIGHT WIND OPTIMIZATION

    Designed with the main focus to be ridden in the threshold winds where most kites can't perform.

    PARK AND RIDE STABILITY

    Efficient control and power allows the rider to concentrate on their riding, not the kite.

    Cabrinha, like other brands, has learned it's lesson the hard, hard way. There will be few surpluses and mega-closeout deals in 2023. They are running as lean as possible and only making a small percentage of product above pre-season orders from dealers. What that means to you is it will be hard to get the color you want in the size you want, when you want it. Plan accordingly or buy the 2022 deals still available. 

     

    3D VIEW

     
    "Dubbed the 'session saver', the kite needs no introduction. It's been around for some years and the 15m always finds a spot in my quiver as the go to when the wind is light. With the new 03 features, the kite has upgraded performance in key areas. What stands out the most is the ability to hold in the sky with little to no wind. The wind range is equally impressive. From low end grunt, to the depower. I'm able to push this kite freestyling in boots or take out a beginner for the very first time. The kite has a very comfortable predictable feeling that can help you progress in all areas of the sport. Talk about versatility!" - Lucas Arsenault
