Kite
Light wind freeride performance kite
Designers goals (manufacturer text)
The Contra performance light wind kite is specially designed to maximize the kite’s power production in light winds. The Contra is designed to be a light wind extension to any kite in our range. The Contra delivers distinctly sharp and precise turning that makes generating power and speed a snap, while maintaining the agility of a smaller kite. It’s this type of performance that has widened the scope of what is possible in light winds. Whether you are riding freestyle, wakestyle, surf or just burning around, the Contra has the muscle to get you up and riding when the winds are barely showing signs on the water.
Cabrinha kite bar 2015
The 2015 Overdrive 1X QuickLoop™ control system is a fully adjustable control bar featuring our all new QuickLoop™ opening harness loop. QuickLoop™ is an opening harness loop connection designed to work specifically with our 1X single line flagging security system. QuickLoop’s™ defining feature is its ridiculously simple operation of our 1X security system. Upon activation of 1X’s single line flagging system the power of a kite is immediately killed and it will rest motionless on the water or land. The incredibly easy reconnection of the QuickLoop™ harness loop is now the new benchmark in the industry for simplicity. The all new Overdrive 1X security system now has a cleaner method to manage the 1X security line. We have removed the external 8meters of security line to create a simplified lower V connection. The 1X line stopper is integrated into the centerline adjustment strap.

My only concern is a limited wind range if you use it with 2015 bar at least, quite uncofortable if oversheeted, but I beleice it's a bar issue rather than kite.

I highly recommend this kite in the waves it's got the balls of a switchblade but is much quicker to turn and being so light construction slack lined and it just drifts into position.
The only thing I would say the canopy and construction is so light you need to keep it out of the water for longevity. But that is just better technique, to be mind full when you are upside down under water keep it in the air.
I have dropped it a few times and it relaunches better than the drifter.
Every session I've had on this I have had a ball.
Well done Cabrinha
