Sorry mate, I have forgotten your name.
You bought 2 Switchblades off me about 3 weeks ago in City Beach.
You bought a 6m and an 8m kites.
I forgot to give you the 2 extender bags they come with (so you can leave the struts pumped up). if you contact me we can arrange for you to come and pick them up.
Wal
hey benny city beach is an actual place in perth, not just a surf shop...and kmart is too good for cabrinha, i think crazy clarks would suit them better
Surely some one will know this bloke. He bought Switchy 5's off me about 4 weeks ago, the black ones with red trailing edge(6 & 8 metre). i think he said he lives in Scarborough. (that's in Perth not UK).
Free stuff, free stuff.
For those out there wondering about this Cabrinha hatred which seems rife...
Its all just long standing, good natured ribbing of kiter vs kiter. If it had any real basis in fact it would have been dropped long long ago.
Im sure Cabrinha would prefer it otherwise - but hey it gets the name out there pretty regularly.
Dont take life too seriously - esp where kiters are involved.

Just a tall poppy thing..years ago (dont know if it is still like this) when Burton snowboards were the market leader by a long way it was cool to put down burton.
Its like when people used to bag us out for flying peter lynn, it annoys me when trytobecool newby's slag out older kites only to ask them why they picked theirs and get an answer like "it looked cool"
. Cabrinha's are some of the best kites i have ridden and that why my humble omega comes out on the stormy days,
its a matter of opinion i guess. i think the co2 was the last good cabrinha. i had major quality and warranty issues with early crossbows and switchblades and haven't gone near a cabrinha in years as a result.
to say they are market leaders is a big call, no matter what you ride
Cabrinha's are excellent.......for getting excercies by climbing trees all day.
Yes, it's been used before, no it doesn't get old.
Disclaimer: I have owned Cabrinha's and like them (but don't have one now.....tree was too big)
i have never used any Cabs before but i think the bad rep is due to so many Newbs using them.
a lot of Newbs learn on Cabs (because they have a good rep as safe learner kite and there are plenty of second hand cabs around) ---> Newbs make many mistakes (theye are normaly the ones climbing up the tree after thier kite or getting dragged down the beach) ---> the rest of us see this and assosiate Cabs with kook kiters. ![]()
