Immediate
Depower |
| |
|
| RECON
allows the rider to immediately turn off the
power of the kite by activating the Recon's
quick release handle. The rider then stays
connected to the depowered kite by a leash
which is integrated into the harness loop.
As long as the rider is hooked into the harness
loop, he/she is attached to the leash. |

Instant
Relaunch |
| |
|
| The same patented function that depowers the kite also serves as a relaunch feature. When the kite is leading edge down on the water or snow, it can be launched in reverse or rolled into the preferred side launch position by simply pulling on only one of the back leader lines.

Spinning
Leash |
| |
|
| The RECON's two key components are tightly integrated into the construction of the kite as well as the control system to eliminate the added lines and tethers normally associated with conventional leashes or reverse launch systems. There is no 5th line, external wrist or harness leash, or a complex bridling system.

No
Additional Setup |
| |
|
| There are no additional steps to set up the RECON. Just attach the 4 fly lines as you normally would to the kite and it is ready to ride. You must use a RECON equipped control system to take full advantage of all the safety functions and relaunch features. |

Recon
Tension Fittings |
| |
|
| The
key component of the RECON is the patented
RECON tension fitting. When the release handle
is activated the front lines are lengthened.
The RECON tension fitting then unseats and
immediately transfers the load to the trailing
edge. |

|
Snow
Relaunch |
| |
|
| RECON
is just as important in the snow as it is
in the water. What really separates a good
snow kite from the rest of the pack is the
ability to relaunch a downed kite off the
snow. With RECON, all 2004 Cabrinha inflatable
kites make the legitimate crossover into the
snowkite arena as the performance kite of
choice. |

Powerlock
Control System |
| |
|
| The
Powerlock works just like a normal depower system.
The rider hooks into a loop that is connected to the
front (centerlines) of a kite. The line passes through
our unique Powerlock fitting which has a simple key
hole shape. The rider can simply lock the trim at
full power by pulling the bar towards themselves,
letting the stopper ball seat itself into the key
hole. To unlock the rider only needs to rotate the
control bar a quarter turn and push away to depower. |

Changeable
Powerlock Fangs |
| |
|
The
Powerlock system comes with replaceable “Fangs”
that offer three levels of locking ability.
- Aggressive Locking Fangs: for riders who ride locked more than unlocked
- Non Aaggressive Locking Fangs: for riders who ride unlocked more than locked
- Non Locking Fangs: for riders who prefer to never lock in
