How are people not talking about this clip!? It's by far the most obscure promo ever made by a kiteboarding company, let alone the usually conservative Cabrinha!

They've obviously pulled out all the stops to rid the brand of their 'old guy and noob' stigma...

But will it work? I kinda want to fly one...

Trippy as. Old guy noob stigma still attached.

Better of doing another Hidden Lines series at nitro city, plus the shenanigans

Made it through half of it.
You'd need to be pretty keen on an FX to watch it all me thinks.

wishy said...
The big loops filmed from a helicopter saved it. That was great footage.

Agree, they should do those chopper shots for KOTA.

ffs stuff the kite I left cape town after 23 years and started kiting in townsville, , we used to bitch about the wind back then.

Sorry.......its a no from me

I loved that vid, something different. Classic nick jacobsen always taking the piss.

Whatever TF he's been smoking!!
I don't want any!!!!
Mardi Gra is coming up soon..... maybe??
EEEEEK!

Just great ,and ballsy ! For me kiteing should be a fun sport, have a giggle lifes short.

Great!

A kooky vid to go with a kooky sport.....let's face it - the slick, surf style, trying hard to be cool .... doesn't really work with a kite - random stuff does IMO

Very risky from both the riders and the production team to do?

4.5 / 5 stars !

So is this the end of the Switchblade?

I actually like the potential for a new sport...climbing structures using your kite...it could be the new extreme risk illegal activity sort of a reverse take on base jumping , although you could always boost from the top of the conquered structure. Film crew and rogue structure kiter / climber make a stealthy appearance at target struture, quick action and then escape from the law (or admission to hospital or body bag..). Huge media coverage and indignant authorities moralising on irresponsible behaviour.....Amazing publicity stunt material for any kite brand out there

The heli footage was good value as well

gotta love those Euros
that was awesome

lots of green thumbs rowdy - how does it feel to be the voice of the masses for a change?!


for what it's worth, i thought it was a pretty interesting edit for a change - i did enjoy it more than watching slo mos of Peter kiting off a yacht in the south pacific for 3min, interspersed with keahi doing surfboard tricks on flat water to make it interesting.


all the running over structures things wmith kite makes me think a darwin award entry is being prepared for the future, if anyone ever copies it
no idea if the kites any good, but most 8m will go huge in 30+ knots if you've got 3-5 foot kickers and the balls to pull the trigger

He has amazing talent, thats for sure.
He is just slightly unhinged like Dimitri.
The narration was aimed at stoners.
The film was aimed at the acentric.

Rowdy may have a point though...

wait it for it......
