I'm thinking of buying a Convert - has anyone had any good or bad experiences with this kite??

I have 3 Cabrinha Converts 7, 9 and a 12 and can only say good things about this kite.

It really is hard to fault. I ride a normal 6 foot strapless surfboard and find this kite so easy to use. I have converted the kite to the1;1 none pulley mode which gives a nice bar pressure with quick response. The kite has a good bottom end but not to much and enough de power so that you can throw it around but you also have the grunt when needed.

The de power I would say is in-between the xbow and switch 3 which I find perfect for surfing waves.

The relaunch is instant, like I said this is a kite that is hard to fault.

Where abouts can you buy them?
Every shop i look at stocks most Cabrinhas apart from the convert?
IF so do they have a site?

Yeah that's right.

I've just bought a 9m from WSP so will be giving it a go...

Thanks for the tips Glen - 3 kites it a big investment, so they must be good.
