Thanks to Kath, a 'Knight in Shining Armour" for the rescue after a seam ripped on my 12m X-Bow, Fri 22Dec.
Second time a panel seam has come unstitched on a 3 month old Cabrinha X-Bow!! (perhaps the kite was sewn on a Monday??)
Are there any others stoked with the flying characteristics of the 2007 X-Bow but not too impressed with the very ordinary build quality?
Kath, you're a Gem!

my leading edge stitching came undone at a join after 3 sessions. turns out the needle wasnt long/heavy duty enough to go through 8 layers of thicker leading edge material. Cabrinha have been cool and honoured warranty. got a loan kite and it fixed for free.

equipment failure is something you boys have to get use too if you stick with cabrinha .

cabrinha have a long history of producing crap , from the very first blacktips with bladders you couldn`t get wet , the power lock bars that powered snapped , the recon bars that became recall bars and so on .

hey iti ,

i feel humbled that you love me , i know its the festive season but i don`t think i will ever truly love you back so it would be best if we stop seeing each other .

maybe you should meet a fellow by the name of stamp , he`s interested in chocolate starfish , so is mattb but he cannot be reached on site unless you go around to Laurie`s place where he has him caged in the back yard participating in a gorilla breeding progam .
