THANK YOU
for purchasing a Cabrinha kite and welcome to the sport of kiteboarding.
As you may know, the excitement of Kiteboarding is attracting people of all ages from all corners of the globe. It’s one of the most
dynamic and fastest growing sports in the world.
CAUTION:
It can also be overwhelming if not approached in an educated man-
ner. That’s why we have supplied this extensive user’s manual. It will help to educate
you about your new kite and about the ways in which to use it. It contains information
regarding the setup, care and maintenance of your Switchblade kite. For information
about operation of the kite including how to power up and de-power your kite you must
refer to the manual supplied with your Cabrinha control system. Please note that only a
Switchblade compatible control system will provide all of the security and performance
functions associated with this bow kite. Consult www.cabrinhakites.com for a list of
compatible control systems for use with this kite.
Please read this user’s manual carefully and entirely before using this kite. This manual is not intended to replace proper kiteboard-
ing instruction, but rather to supplement it. Do not attempt to kiteboard without appropriate instruction. It will make this sport more
enjoyable, not only for yourself, but for those around you.
