Had 2 light wind sessions.
Stayed with Xbow as it was good to me last year.
Cab's flagship kite has the following incremental improvements.
1. Bar and lines: bar is simplified a bit and lines are without the plastic ends at the kite (less fraying).
2. Construction: improved with one pump, struts are multi-panneled toward to leading edge and reinforced.
3. Kite shape and performance: looks the same as Xbow 1, but must be a bit different as there is more hang time, bar pressure is lighter, low end improved, but turning speed seems similar.
Need more wind.

I loved it.
came off the water giggling. Its a seriously silly kite. Has a stupid amount of float.

I'm surprised they haven't increased the turning speed substantially. I thought it would have increased a lot with the 2nd generation Xbow. last year's xbow wasn't slow, but there was a delay in the response from initiating the turning. has this been improved?

Finally a teeny teeny bit more wind. 3.5 hrs. in 12-17 knots (maybe), wreaked and happy.
She is a nice light wind toy. Happy with the, what I recon, 10% overall improvement. Now, many people would say 10% is not a lot, but I feel that's a great accomplishment when coming from an already nice platform.
Need more wind.
