hi im only new to the sport and looking for my first proper kite, have found an 06 cabrinha full setup, so new still has tags on it, will this be a decent ride??? ok for beginner cheers

To start with, this is a windsurfing forum so you would get better results from posting in the kitesurfing forum.

Second, my advice would be to steer clear of anything pre-2008 as a general rule of thumb. Cabrinha is a good brand but different kites suit different purposes so be careful what you choose as it may be a full on freestyle kite that will twitch and pull like a train.

If you can, get the newest kite that you can afford and talk to the guys in the business (onboard, red baron, windsup etc.) and they will be able to steer you towards a kite that will suit your ability, budget and type of riding you will do.

Please go and get lessons too as these are vital to teaching you how to kite safely so that people on the beach are not injured and we can continue to enjoy our sport on the metro beaches.

Good luck mate and hopefully you get the right advice and ultimately the right kite for you!

as long as you have matching mast..you'll be fine!
