*PLEASE NOTE - I made a couple little mistakes in this video in regards to the bar, the Cab COS bar I was riding does have 18-24m line length options. I was sent a bar with 18/4 already on it, and the 2m extensions in a side packet, and then didn't even notice it setting up because it was so windy each session and I was pretty excited to get on the water. Also, the little 'metal' piece in the middle of the bar is ceramic*
For part 3 of my big air kite comparison, I was fortunate enough to have Cabrinha send out a 9m Nitro & Bar for me to put through its paces because we don't have them down here in New Zealand. As the first brand to get in touch months back, I have to say I liked their confidence but was a bit apprehensive about what their expectation was for how long it would take, and what quality they would expect from the video as this is not my profession, and just a hobby for me as you can tell by my editing skills.
Thankfully, and to their credit, they literally just sent the kite and haven't been in touch since except to confirm it arrived, and it's taken me weeks to get the wind I needed, and then more time to put the video together.
As always I'm riding these sessions in big air conditions, and comparing the kite to my other favourite kites, either the ones I have bought personally, or have borrowed from local riders.
I am also excited to mention another brand since Cabrinha has sent me another kite to review, so I already am started on my next project, we just need the wind! I wish I could get these done faster, but getting the conditions, and then the time to put them together is a slow process
After the next video, some videos I'd like to do are as follows: Orbit 23 vs 24 or an 8m Kite comparison in over 40 knots. Between my friends, I have access to the following 8m kites: Duotone Evo Dlab, Core XR7, Ozone Edge v11, and North Orbit 23, so I think that would be a fun one (for me anyways), to see how high I can woost on each, and how radical all the loops feel... but I'm also very open to any suggestions on topics so please Like & Subscribe, and comment below!
Filmed as always on my GoPro 11
