CABRINHA INTELLIGENCE AGENCY Maui, Hawaii OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
I believe that the difference between a good kite and a great kite is its ability to intuitively react to the riders wishes with minimal effort and input. When it comes to security and handling it should be a seamless set of commands that flow with not against the natural direction of your body movements. Introducing IDS. The Intelligent Depower System from Cabrinha. IDS intuitively provides a level of control and handling not seen in any other kite. IDS is a simple bridle with features that are controlled by our all new Powerdrive IDS control system. IDS delivers huge gains in all areas of steering, bar pressure, interactive depower and absolute depower. The standout feature of the new IDS system is it’s two stages of depower. Depower on Demand (Stage 1), uses the same method of interactive depower that was made popular by the Cabrinha bow kites. Absolute Depower (Stage 2), takes it one step further. Absolute Depower is a method to self land your kite on the water or land by releasing all of the residual power of your kite when landed. Absolute Depower delivers security similar to a 5th line system, but without the complexity of the unnecessary 5th line. The simple Powerdrive floating bar and ease of
controls for this incredible system are found on the all new IDS control system. The Powerdrive IDS also features ergonomic ends and our industry leading QR, with its highly acclaimed security use.
Our board program this season changes the game with the release of our Sync Backless Binding. The Sync Backless Binding creates an entirely new method of connection to your board. This unique board connection provides a perfect compliment to the new channel bottom shapes of the Custom, Caliber and the all new Plasma light wind twin tip models. 2009 is the year where we mix our superior Bow kite outlines with the all new IDS method of security to deliver the very best of performance and control. At Cabrinha, we never stop our relentless pursuit of greatness and our quest for innovation that matters has led us to our best line of products yet. Regards,
Pete Cabrinha DIRECTOR, IDS OPERATIONS
