2012 Liquid Force Envy
This is the year to get your Envy! The 2012 Liquid Force Envy has rock solid stability,directional float, pivotal turning and effortless re-launch. A design that LF is calling “beyond delta” makes this kite one that you will want in your quiver. The ultra lightweight three- strut-platform gives light, responsive bar feel with impulse pivotal turning.The Envy’s flight characteristics blend to produce a distinct “set it and forget it” feel. This makes it the perfect kite for everything from progressive wave riding to kite low freestyle domination. Land a jump a bit too hot, under run the kite in a bottom turn… forget about it! The Envy’s lightweight design allows the kite to float directionally, enabling you to forget about the kite and concentrate on the important issues: making grabs, spotting landings and reading waves straight into the pit.
2012 Cabrinha Nomad
In 2012 the Nomad kite gets further refined in the Freestyle department. Our goal was to take its landmark turning speeds and unhooked abilities one step further. The result is a highly tuned kite which keeps its forward flying speed up even when unhooked. You can count on a constant steady pull whether you are passing or just throwing a massive raley. When it comes to kite looping the Nomad delivers. The Nomad accelerates its power when flying through the radius of a kite loop. Big or small the Nomad completes the loop with plenty of time to climb to the zenith to cushion your landing. Its no wonder that the Nomad is the pro’s choice for world tour level Freestyle competition.
Features Include:
- 6 Strut Design
- Improved Canopy Profiles
- New Shape
- Simplified Bridle
- Variable Tuning Options
- QuickLink Control System with IDS
- Sprint
2012 Cabrinha Drifter
In the break away sector of Kite Surfing, there is one kite which hides its technology behind its simplicity. The Drifter’s minimal 3 strut design both hides and illuminates its brilliance. The three well placed struts keep the profile of the kite intact through constant angle of attack changes while reducing the weight. This light weight but durable kite is dedicated to surf, yet it shines as a freestyle kite for wakeskating, skimboarding or flat water freestyle. While surfing hooked or unhooked the Drifter makes the most of its excellent slack line drift ability. Slack line drift is the kite’s ability to stay aloft even when the lines are temporarily slackened by depowering. But the Drifter’s main beauty lies in its simplicity. Cabrinha pushed the complicated technology into the background so that all you have to think about is how you’re going to tear apart the next wave.
Features Include:
- Surf Specific 3 Struct Design
- Excellent Slack Line Drift
- High Depower
- Stable and Direct Feel
- Simplified Bridle
- Squared Off Wingtips For Increased Stability

Trainer Kite – HQ Rush IV Pro 250
The HQ Rush IV Pro R2F is the top of the line for trainer kites. This well built and incredibly durable trainer kite has everything from reinforced profiles to sewn bridles. The Rush IV Pro is designed and built to take the abuse that the learning pilot is going to put it through. The third line acts as both a reverse re-launcher and a safety line. The new design makes the kite fly well in a wide range of wind conditions ranging from very light winds of 4 miles per hour up to strong winds in the 21 to 29 mile per hour range. The Rush IV comes in 3 sizes so finding the perfect size is not a problem.
The third line is the real gem on the HQ Rush IV Pro kite. With the included leash strapped to the pilot’s wrist, when the winds get to rough or when the kite needs to land, just let go of the bar and the kite comes gently to the ground.
What’s with the “R2F” thing? It simply means that when you get your kite, you pull it out of the bag, unwind the lines and you are ready to go. There is nothing to set up. Just lay it out and go.
