The most critical piece of equipment in kiteboarding is the Control System. A system that you not only rely on for your safety and well being, it’s also the direct link between you and the elements. A lot of work goes into Kite Design. The Cab Design Works Team works countless hours tuning and modifying the way a kite feels in order to make it the highest performing product on the market. In order to get the most out of all that work, you need a control system that gives you a direct connection to the kite. This connection needs to be intuitive and seamless in use, allowing you to focus on having the most fun in the elements. Introducing the COS.
Cabrinha Operating System
The goal in the development of the COS was to make its use so easy, that the rider can concentrate on their next jump, or wave. This is the most feature rich control system to date, but the package is so simple and intuitive to use that anyone can feel the full benefits. An all new push click Quick Release is the foundation of the COS. Matched with the ability to interchange connection methods toollessly, this is the most advanced system on the market today.
Auto Unwind
The new dual tube auto unwind feature allows you to focus on the next trick at hand without having to manually untwist your front lines. The Ceramic Bearings keep friction to an absolute minimum. Just unpin the bar, pull it in and you’re ready to go. The Dual PU Tubes keep the clean smooth finish that Cabrinha riders are used to, but allow for an independent chamber for the 1X Security line to pass through.

"The COS is the perfect connection between me and my kite. It gives me complete control and awareness while in the sky and allows precise input when I need it most. The ergonomic new safety system gives me complete confidence in the wildest of conditions while allowing a full range of movement when the bar is pulled in and levered either side during Kiteloops. It’s a do it all bar for any level of kiteboarder." - Lorenzo Casati

On-the-fly bar width adjustment and convenient line retainers.
TRIMLITE
Simple and clean trim system. Compact and durable stainless steel TrimLite Cleat™. Allows precise and positive trim adjustment. Light weight design.

Bio-based Dyneema® fiber boasts the exact same performance as conventional Dyneema® with a carbon footprint that is 90% lower than generic HMPE fiber. As well as its extraordinary strength, bio-based Dyneema® excels in cut and abrasion resistance and has a high resistance to UV, a crucial benefit for its use in flying lines. So, whatever style you choose to ride, ride with the confidence and trust in a product that lessens your footprint, not your performance.
