Missing forum posts on Cabrinha 2011, What is Cabrinha doing, turning the screws on seabreeze now to remove postings on 2011 gear too!
well none of that stuff was meant to be released yet so u cant blame em for pulling it off the net.. i heard some fool at cab is gona get rolled for letting that out hahaha
oh well I guess they are just crying because everyone said how bad the graphics look
maybe the dealers will have to sell them in their bags and not let the customer see it until they take it home -
Surely kiters have some pride and want want the granny quilt cover -
You have to ask how these designs get past a group of decision makers
Anyhow for those that missed out on seeing the pics of the new cabs I found the designers webpage with some of the graphics they used on the kites

.....not satisfied with just the early hype extending from the faked accidental release of photographs, the cabrina publicity machine plays their trump card, pulling all photos from the web'
keep dumping on them so hopefully thay will change them.
Come on pete there still time to salvage these flying turds.
Ok guys & lovely Ladies 
At a guess - their aiming at the massive Euro Market just as Underground have with their future board range... see the similarities ? and have received a big responce in Euroland
Or
your gettin old
Have you looked at the gromets lately & what they wear ?
If you wear boardies over wetties, your karma created them 
Maybe while their aiming at a female market (their not shy on credit card sprees)
Maybe their not the final colours & were testing the waters 
The only constnat in life is Change
Maybe Santa put the hard word on them 
for new Chrissy tree decorations 
Dont mess with the Big guy in Red regardless
so many opinions- are people on other brands just jealous that Cab has a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge slice of the market ? The designs look good, if you are really ragging on them because you don't like them I guess you are one of those people who complain about music being too loud and listen to talkback radio
As if the sticker on the car window wasn't enough, no-ones ever going to steal a cab now.
So........how does the "LOOK" of the kite make it go better ???
Red ones go faster maybe ???
What's next, bling for kites,the Paris Hilton accessory range, that should make them a better performer ???
Perhaps to be trendy we should follow the example of both women's & men's magazine marketing and have scantilly clad women printed on the canopy that would make.........................wait a minute.................

Apologies for the break, I just had to send a suggestion to the Cabrinha marketing department regarding their 2012 designs.
As you were
Fossil
Nomad and Switch are pretty fugly awright! The others seem ok. I actually like the convert.
TBH - I would buy em if they flew nicely (and could afford em tho).
Looks isn't that high on my must have list. My kites are pretty bloody ordinary. One is fugly (09 Thruster - I made a bad choice with colour scheme) but I don't lose sleep about it.
I reckon Cab went down this path to try and please the very same fashionistas, that are wanting change, but ended up puking at the results.
Classic.
maybe I have bad taste, and a bad sense of fashion(my wife certainly thinks so!) but I reckon the nomad and switchy look pretty good. The other models are pretty boring though. But at the end of the day I don't really give a fark, as long as the kite flys hows it's supposed to and does what I need it to do.
suggesting its got tree repelling graphics?
i think the nomad and switchy are the only two with acceptable graphics... saw real life shots of them on another forum but they got deleted pretty quick
I've been seeing them and riding them in the real world over in Maui, the Switchies are really nice, rear lines connect direct to the kite this year - no pulleys yay!
Graphics look a lot better in reality than the pics. The blue one is my fav, followed by the red grey.
The custom board is even better than last years and goes really well in the messy cross off conditions.
Its been 25-35 knots every day so have only tested the 7,8,9M Switchies.
Back in Sydney on Friday.

Yeah, but I've also never heard you say a bad word about any cabrinha product for the last 4 years.
I'm with Steve on this one - he has actually seen the kites and flown them.
The pictures don't do any justice I've been told.
New method of coloring the raw material instead of printing direct on finished material ... apparently this gives a see-thru effect.
