Tried and Tested

As we emerge from winter hibernation, the test team has had a few good days on the water. We’ve got the new ION Seek Select 4/3 on test, a great suit to keep you warm in the tween months either side of summer. Plus, we put two of Cabrinha's flagship kites to the test, the new Switchblade Apex and the Moto Apex!

Cabrinha 2026 Moto Apex

For 2026, the Moto Apex had a full redesign. This isn’t just a tweak; the kite has been reworked with a higher aspect ratio, a lighter airframe, a thinner leading edge, and a more refined bridle setup to push it further into the performance freeride category. Key to that is the use of HT140 material in the leading edge, combined...
