Cabrinha Nitro Apex 2027
Description
Fear of heights? Maybe try a different kite.
A no compromise design for Big Air, Hang Time, and Kite Loops, the all new Nitro is the next revolutionary kite design from legendary designer Pat Goodman.
A purpose-built high performance product that utilizes Aluula laminate Material in critical areas. The result is a kite that delivers explosive lift, extended hang time, precise control, and the confidence to commit when it matters most.
The Aluula outer struts create a lighter, stiffer, and more efficient structure that remains stable and refined even under the highest loads.
Combined with the high aspect platform and refined 7-point bridle system, the Nitro delivers exceptional boosting performance, fast responsive steering, and predictable loop recovery.
The addition of the Vert-X Bridle allows riders to choose between the Unify High-Y or Low-V configuration, giving even greater control over the kite’s handling characteristics and overall feel.
From your first big jump to your biggest loop, the Nitro is ready to take you higher.

High Or Low V
The use of the Vert X bridle has allowed for the Nitro to fly in either the High or Low V set up, depending on your style of riding and conditions.
Raise The Limit
Designed around Big Air riding, the Nitro is all about hang time and kiteloops. This is the Cabrinha’s go to kite when the conditions are pumping and you want to go big.
The Right Stuff
The strategic use of Aluula in the outer struts provides increased rigidity in the high end or in high powered loops, but reduces the weight to allow the kite to fly faster through the window.
Speed Machine
The limiter has been removed and the New Nitro allows you to push your board speed without feeling like you will ever reach a max.
More Than A Feeling
One of the refining features of the new Nitro is the bar feel. Upside down and mid way through a loop you want to know where the kite is, and that is what you get with the Nitro.
Like A Knife
The new outline combined with the reduced diameter leading edge make this Nitro cut through the air like no version before it, making this kite perform not only in the light winds, but also as conditions get more intense.
