Default Cabrinha Demo with Damo

Damo will in town this Sunday, June 22 to show the newest design concept from Cabrinha Kiteboarding, IDS (Intelligent Depower System) see www.cabrinhakites.com for more info or check out ASNews.net for the latest podcast from Pete Cabrinha.

I don't expect much wind, but if there is we will post a location. At the very least, you will get a chance to ask Damo questions and check out the kites in person.

Yeah Amber....in absence of wind we will just host the demo at the shop. Damo will also have products from NPX as well.

He will not have the SB4's available, however, for those of you interested, the SB4's will have the new IDS technology. So it may be still something of interest.

Talking with John Modica at the Triple S, they are even going more wakestyle with the SB4 kite. Definately some changes on the horizon with that kite as well.

Contra's are going to be discontinued. The Crossbow 13 and 16 will replace the Contra 14 and 17 respectively.

Just got off the phone with Damo.

He will be at shop on Sunday 6/22 @ noon.

If we get a seabreeze in the afternoon, we will shoot down to the beach at throw up some kites. What beach will be determined.

Can a dumb ass use the Intelligent Depower System? Cause I think I would really like to have one, but I'm not quite sure. I wish I could be there but I will be hung up in the DR. See you on the flip tell Damo I said hi. CW

Gui, Landed at the airport yesterday at 2:25 had to put the fins and pads on the board and was on the water at 4:00 until 6:45 on the 10 meter and the DC 138 board. Just the most beautiful conditions to kite in I have ever experienced. 22kts of steady warm wind with sholder high waves in steady sets. Woke up this morning went surfing until noon then at 1:00 it started again and blew 22 to 24 kts until dinner at 7:15. You are going to love it here. 13 days to go. Craig
