About this kite

The AV8 is Cabrinha's lightweight specialist: a single-strut collection built for foiling and light-wind freeride where every saved gram extends the session. It parks steadily, relaunches off nothing and delivers smooth, manageable power for long glides. The quiet achiever of the Cabrinha range.
