What I noticed immediately is the Cabrinha Contra 9m looks like a little round ball in the sky overhead. I thought, ‘Okay, this will be a perfect time to see just how good the light wind range is on the Cabrinha Contra 9m.’ So I rigged up and took the twin-tip and hydrofoil to the water’s edge. The wind was dropping when I started to unpack the van and the few riders out were coming in to change up to 14 metre kites. This will quickly become a story about how the Contra 9m is an absolute session saver! FIRST TEST DAY – 12-18 KNOTS However, with a selection of surfboards, twin tips and hydrofoils on hand, there aren’t many conditions that you can’t make 9 & 10 metre kite sizes work, so I focused on the two all rounders – the new 2021 one strut Contra 9 metre and the Moto 10 metre. Having only 9 and 10 metre kite options might not be ideal if I had my heart set on twin-tip riding, particularly for the first two days. We’ve been dealing with a wet weather front the last couple of days, forecasting 20 – 30 knots, but in reality we only had between 12 and 18 knots over the first two days and today the wind was a bit more, but very up and down, up to 25 knots but down for long periods to just 15. The full reviews of all these Cabrinha Contra is now live in our new free online issue #109, full of multimedia entertainment and varied insights. It just so happened that it was windy all week when we soon after took receipt of the new 2021 9m Switchblade, 10m Moto and 9m Contra kites. The Cabrinha 01 range was launched online mid February.
