Hi, thanks for your content. I’ve been kiteboarding for fours years and only ride cabrinha switchblade since the beginning. I’d like to contribute with two things: 1) to the big ones like me, 1,90m height and 105kg weight (6’25 and 231 pounds) with long arms, the 2023 cos bar compared to the 2022 trimlite bar really feels lighter, however, the shorter main lines just feels weird, like I have to ride with my arms more bent and pull the directional lines harder when working the kite; and 2) as you said in another video that you compared 2023s SB, Moto X and FX, the 23 SB definitely has lesser bar pressure than the previous years, specially when compared to the 20, 21 and 22s. Although the SB now turns quicker, when you put both new things together, it made me struggle the first time I tried my new set of kite and bar, on a wind of 16-17 knots mean with 20 knots gust, the kite really lack of power compared to the SB 22 and older. On the second try, I rode the SB 23 with the 22 trimlite bar and felt much more confident about the depower, even though still feel weaker than my older kites. Hope this info can help other riders as well. Thanks.

Anthony, thanks for a great review as I consider buying the Cabrinha Moto X. Your wife and babes made it a special addition of a great little family. Thanks again for your posts. Peter

Hello Anthony, it’s good to see your back out on the water kiting after the knee incident. Your family looks happy and healthy. This is a nice simple review that touches on the main differences which will help me decide which kite is better suited for my age, weight, riding style and new location. I have left Florida and relocated to the Eastern shore in Md., so ride on Chesapeake bay waters these days. I now live on a river and can kite in front of the house which is pretty cool. And I also ride at Virginia Beach on occasion.

thanks for the nice video and good explanation of the two kites...ps your son is infected with kite virus at an early age....haha

Have this exact bar but had a jet ski get into my lines and sucked up one of my steering lines and ripped the left leader out of the handle and lost the insert cassette piece. Any advice where to get all the parts in one place? I find one piece on a website then another on a different site. Really frustrating i cant get all the stuff I need on one shop so it all comes at once. It also messed up the depower center ones that go through the black tube. I pulled that line out and disconnected it but apparently ypu buy the whole thing in one piece.

OMG pumping the board to gain speed what a brilliant trick! I will practice this in my next LW session thank you!

Thank you

Thank you

Hey man love the channel, I just had my first lesson and loved it in st Pete. I live in Ybor and am looking at purchasing gear, any advice on stores or how to get cheap gear? Facebook marketplace?

Thanks for the tips!

Cool. But i think you need to fly both on a newer bar

great video. I am a beginner of kitesurfing. My trouble is to turn kite up to keep it at 45 degree angle after diving the kite first to waterstart. I pointed my board downwind, somehow the kite would not go up no mater how I turned it, it stayed at the edge of the wind window and then dropped into the water due to lack of wind power at the edge of the wind window. please advise.

Das will ich auch sehen wenn er kein Grund unter den Füßen hat 😂

So cool! My boy is 9 and I was thinking about teaching him this year. What size kite did you use?

Your niece did great! Becca was FIRE !!!!!!!

congratulations for your family!!

Молодцы

Мечта у нас Самый большой пруд в Европе 910 гектар а возможности нет😢

masochism = fly a LEI in very lightwind....when your buddy has its flysurfer standing at the zenith until 5 knts....and still flying in 4knts....

Love your videos

Nice video Anthony! Thanks!

Thanks Anthony, learnt alot (always forget stuff) but in under 7mins youve really taught us ALOT. Plus I like I have this bar lol

wooooooooh soooo informative. I have the older bar (Large) & I love it, HATE using other people's bar but I would defo give the new one a try too.The Safety is the real/biggest change...like our man said its not bad on the older one but just that bit improved. Like the swivel gimmick too though not a game changer but very cool & cool dbl tube design. Mine is the RECOIL rather than TRIMLITE, yeah its bulky but i think i must have short arms lol (5'9") as I dont like stretching to reach pushing the bar out. But do I go for the TRIMLITE std cleat system next time??? reason i got the RECOIL (nothing to do with the Fab video) is 1) the spring return mech. for shorter arms 2) learning on worn out cleat system @ a school i struggled to get the cleat to Hold the line but i guess cleat is best/simply provided its not worn out. this is just the video i was looking for FANKS love your work....sound has imporved from some of your earlier videos where i struggled to listen 100% ace vid buddy

nice memory from there. love this place. the spot is amazing.

Wish you a speedy recovery Anthony !!

Post knee surgery therapy huh 😂.

Wish you a good and fast recovery… we miss your video dude! Could I ask you something? I’m choosing 2024 stuff. I choosed 8 nitro, 10 motox apex and I don’t know what choose for 12 motox apex or fx2 13 or 13 motox apex… What do you suggest?my weight is like yours, I like freestyle wake style like you, and my light wind day is from 12/13 to 16/17 knots. You used this kite and your opinion for me is a good opinion to choose. Thanks a lot See you soon on the water

Dang bud, sorry to find out here about your injury. I do hope you make a full recovery and that you choose to resume kiting when ready. I was kinda wondering why I hadn’t seen you at the skyway. Anyway, all the best to you and your family.

Sounds like you have the right mindset. Wishing you a thorough recovery

Gute Besserung, habe das selbe Problem ...

wish you a good recovery...hopefully back on the water soon with nice videos. greetings from the Netherlands

Recover, reflect and reignite

Anthony please make sure you take good care of yourself…and recover soon

My grandmother can launch a kite while standing in shallow water. Do that shit when you are in deep water.

What do you think? Is better 13 XL or 12 motox apex? Did you tried 12 m? What’re your quiver this year?

Thanks Anthony!

Not recommended. Thank you for the advice but unfortunately this method (with the kite exactly positioned as illustrated in your video) turned out in a disaster. I did exactly the same as mentioned in your video for a period of time and it worked but what I didn't realise was that everytime I did it that way, the bar's lines rubbed against the sharp edge of the kiteboard (as shown in your tutorial). This later caused a line to snap during a relaunch and taught me to keep the kite in the air (at 11 or 12 o'clock) to prevent damaging the lines while putting on the kiteboard.

What's the difference between Switchblade and Nitro? Is Switchblade not a big air looping kite? This confusion bars entry to give Cabrinha a try.

I don't know why, but I've been struggling with this trick for years. 313 is no problem at all, but this one drives me nuts.

This is painful to watch. Just leave the kite at 12, put the back foot in first (with the board pointing downwind), and then add the front foot. Easy and fast, plus you don't get all that water down your neck.

100% this is the best and easiest / safest way to learn to get into your board , I have been teaching this method for over 10 years !! Before that I was teaching the old/normal methods for 5 years and can say that this is defiantly the best way , It has solved all the issues that people have with learning to get into the board at 12 or 10/2 o'clock and using the upwind binding strap to hold the board instead of the handle, places the downwind strap the furthest distant away from the downwind foot allowing the easiest entry .... Nice work KSP!!! This method gives people a 100% reliable and safe method to get into the board no matter what the water depth or wind strength is , stops them oversteering and crashing the kite and provides them with a stable platform to enter into the water start. Again, great job KSP

I hope you are not a kite school. Stop publishing this kind of "advices". Easiest? Dont think so. Teach first to properly control the kite, then to put the board. No short cuts.

It's a different way, but for sure not the easiest way!:))

Interesting. I have a GoJoe on my board, which sorta interferes with the control bar and lines in this situation. Also, of course, you need to have the straps towards you... as a beginner, if the board is the wrong angle and catching the water, that will present some issues if you're dragged by the kite. Presumably that won't happen in a light breeze with the kite on the water, but if something catches the bar getting into this position, the kite may react. For whatever reason, I find it easier to get one of my feet into the strap easier than the other; whether that foot is up or downwind, and that foot seems to be better at controlling / moving the board into position to get the other foot in.

Some great tips and excellent presentation, thanks!

No way.

The kites are too similar, I would like to know how a 2023 feels compared to a 2021, my actual kite. There the difference must be bigger, I think...

Thanks for the great review!

Inflatable just don't do light winds

Why doesn’t Cabrinha and the like not put anything new out until their is a drastic change that even a beginner could feel.
