Everyone here has very valid points. In my opinion, the 3 very best lightwind kites that I've riden are (in no specific order):
  • Cabrinha Switchblade 1
  • Cabrinha Switchblade III
  • Cabrinha Crossbow 16M IDS

I am 215-200lbs and ride in light winds when there are 19M Flysurfers in the the air. I haven't riden a flysurfer, so I can't compare. But riders on the 19m flysurfers are always surprised that on my Switchblade 1 and my flight deck, that I can keep riding in sub 10mph winds.

I sure wish Cabrinha STILL MADE SWICHBLADES IN 16M!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you listening Pete????

The Crossbow 16M has the same low end that the SB1 has. Just more bar pressure.
The SB3 has more high end then low end. I need like 12mph to ride the SB3.
The SB2 VERY similar to the SB3. Don't count it out either.

I look forward to riding some foils so I can compare!!
