2004 Cabrina Access
Any one know anything about this kite? I want to get into kiting surfing and a coworker offered this one up for sale, he doesn't know anything about
the kite either it was given to him by the previous owner of his home.
I have only snow kited so far and dont know what to look for, I think it is a 12m kite.
So many kites so little money! Really I'm Broke!

Till others with specific knowledge come along, historically any kite 2005 and earlier tended to not have any safety whatsoever and also very little
depower. I would imagine this Cabrina wouldn't be any different.

2nd Bob on this one. And generally when someone asks about buying a used kite from a seller that doesn't know what they are selling, its a red flag,

Here is some discussion on it : http://www.kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2314253
Sounds like it was a beginner kite from just before Cab' brought out the Bow kite.
It has the " Recon " safety system . No personal experience with that.
I think if you get it for what your buddy paid for it . Free. It will fly and doesn't sound so aggressive that it will kill you ? Better than it
sitting in the basement but ???
If it was a year newer and a Crossbow it might be more interesting.
