So the gear breakdown is:
Cabrinha Switchblade 3 (2008), 12m, bar and lines included. No pump, no bag I am affraid. The Kite is White and Orange in colour. It has been used a fair bit, but always well looked after and packed away clean and dry. In very good condition for it's age, no colour fading or tears in the canopy. There is a little bit of water staining, but very little to complain about. The wind range of this kite is from around 11/12 knots through to and inlcuding 22/23 knots. The Sprint single point inflation valve attachment, that connects the valve to the kite has broken off, but again this is no biggy (you just have to be careful when letting the air out) and does not affect the kite performance in anyway what so ever. The bar is in good nic too, the lines are all good and still the same length. The Overide 2 body is a little damaged, part of it has broken off, it still works though, you can see in the picture below what i mean. I found I just had to have the overide tension ring a little tighter on it. But to be honest I never used the overide system that much. I tended to just have it off for total depower on wipe outs. Apparently it is easy to replace if you feel the need. Take a look at the pics below and see what you think. I am looking for £400 for this bad boy.

Cabrinha Switchblade 3 (2008), 10m, bar and lines included. No pump, no bag again I am affraid. The kite is teal, orange and white in colour. It has also been used a fair bit and was my favourite kite in the quiver, great wind range and stability in the air. The wind range of this kite is from around 15 to 27 knots. I have had it out in a little bit more either side of that and it performed perfectly. There is 2 pin holes in the middle of the canopy, but both have been professionaly repaired. The 50cm Powerdrive 121 bar and lines system has the same damage to it that the 55cm bar does, see below,

There is a little colour fade on this kite, but that is really to be expected of a kite of this age and for the length of time it has been sat on caribbean beaches! This is a great kite and packs a mighty punch throughout the wind window and sucks up those gusts nicely, giving you that smooth powered ride whether you are hooked in for the ride of your life or unhooked and flying high! The Switchblade 3 is essentially a flatter 4 line inflatable kite which has incredible efficiency and depower capabilities. The flat arc of the kite, also known as Pro Span Extreme, produces more raw power than a classic arc kite of the same size. The flatter arc and unique leading edge bridle are the elements responsible for the Switchblade's incredible depowering capabilities. The Switchblade, together with the new Powerdrive 121 control system provides a level of security that can only be described as revolutionary. I am looking for £350 for this nutty little bugger.

The Switchblade 3 wraps all of these features into one kite to deliver:
Moderate Aspect Ratio

Light Bar Pressure
SprintTM Single Point Inflation
Immediate Depower on Demand
Prospan ExtremeTM
Powerdrive 121 Control System
Bow Kite Bridle
OverrideTM 2
Full ContactTM Strut Connections
Quick Release Harness Loop
More power per square meter than a classic arc kite.
Incredible hang time.
The highest level of security.
A relaunch feature that does not require a 5th line or any wing tip tension fittings.
And finally, I have a Cabrinha Golf travel bag 140cm length for sale. Sneaking boards past airline check in is now stress free. Designed like a golf bag, this travel bag fits all your kite gear in a single easy to check bag. The Golf Bag will fit one or two boards, three kites, and all your essentials in as stealthy a package as possible. Internal tie down straps will secure all your gear so you won't lose anything if you go through secondary security. The bag has an external pocket that can hold all your tools and other last minute forgotten items. This is a great piece of kit, for keeping all your gear safe and in the one place when you travel. I often just chucked the whole thing in the back of the car when I go to the beach loaded up. This bag has a few scuffs and scratches on the base plate from hauling it through airports and on to check in counters etc. I would like £40 for this bag, but am open to sensible offers.

Like I said before I would ideally like to sell all this gear in one go and would like £780 for the lot. But I am open to sensible and reasonable offers for the quiver or individual items. This is a great deal for some great gear, so don't hang about, I can feel some wind brewing!
As for postage, I live in Teesside, near middlesborough, so am open to collection if you live near buy or if you want to arrange your own courier that is fine also. But if you want me to post I will have to look into the cost of that and factor that into the price.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Ross
