2017 Cabrinha Contra
19 metre
Selling my 19m 2017 Cabrinha Contra Kite and Bag. (Bar is not included). It is in excellent condition with no repairs and holds air 100%. The kite has never been left on the beach pre or post sessions and always pumped up on grass. The kite and bag is in Excellent Condition. I am selling as I have acquired another 19m Contra. I can post across Aus for $40.
The Contra is a dedicated light wind kite. I have flown Contra's now since 2015 and owned 15, 17 and 19m sizes. These work for me as my local spot gets allot of 11-16 knot winds. Keeps me on the water in these lighter winds. So for me at 90kg's and on my bigger twin tip this kite is optimal in 11-14kn. The Contra 19m is very stable and smooth. A great kite for cruising.
The Contra does everything you would expect an all round performance kite to do. While only having three struts, it's actually similar in performance to the Switchblade when it comes to upwind ability jumping and stability. If you live somewhere with lighter conditions and could only get one kite, the Contra would actually be my recommended choice.
What you get out of the Contra is the power you need to have fun when the wind is light yet a kite with enough depower and versatility to work when the winds picks back up.
When it comes to jumping don't expect too much from the 19m. Sure you can and It has quite a bit of power and plenty of loft.
The Contra 19m has moderate bar pressure and a 60cm Bar is recommended however a 52 would also be ok. You really feel that you have power when riding the Contra 19m. You'll know the wind has become too strong when it becomes difficult to ride back upwind.
In regards to foil-boarding, the Contra could also be used on those exceptionally light days. Powerful and lightweight pairing the contra with a foil would pretty much guarantee a session if there's a breeze to be found. Relaunch is also easy.
