Wakestyle/Freeride
The 2011 Switchblade IDS kite has a few blades in its sheath. Having the distinction as being the premier wakestyle kite worldwide, the switchblade also shines as an excellent all round freeride and freestyle kite. Kudos is given to the Switchblade for having feather light bar pressure and easy handling. Its bow kite outline makes its relaunch a snap. But all of this is overshadowed by its flying performance. The Switchblade has the right combination of turning speed and power efficiency to make it the go-to kite for anyone looking to hit a rail or launch off a kicker.
The Switchblade is available as a complete kite (with bar and lines) or as the kite only.
The 2011 Switchblade kite features:
- New entry profiles creating an even faster moving kite
- Re-designed strut placement giving more stability during jumps
- New LE closing seam construction
- Lighter bladders in the 14m and 16m kites
- New canopy material

The Cabrinha Switchblade comes in five colour options as shown in the image below. The two Premium Camo colour scheme is available in limited quantities. There is also a wildcard option which makes evey kite unique as the construction clolours will allways be changing (hence the wildcard photo below will probebly not be the colour you receive).
The Switchblade comes in 10 sizes covering a windrange from 8mph (6.9 knots) to upwards of 30mph (26.1 knots). The specification and windrange table below will give you a better idea for what's what.
If you choose to buy the kite complete, included is the Powerdrive IDS Bar and line system. The bar and lines are available in four sizes, 60, 55, 48 and 45cm depending on the kite size you choose. More details on the bar and lines (including the innovative recoil system) are shown below.
