Cabrinha Moto Apex Kite for Surf, Foil and Freeride 2026
Description
The 2026 Cabrinha Moto Apex is a ground-up redesign that pushes freeride kite performance to a new level. Built around a high aspect, 3-strut hybrid design, it delivers greater efficiency, faster board speed, and remarkable hang time - giving riders a lighter, more responsive feel in the sky. Swept, narrower wingtips reduce drag and concentrate power toward the center of the canopy for smoother acceleration and cleaner power delivery throughout the wind window. Aluula composite struts increase stiffness while cutting weight, helping the kite hold its shape and fly with consistent, predictable power in all conditions.
The precision 7-point bridle system translates bar input directly into kite movement, producing tight, pivot-driven turns and confident lift through kiteloops - while a single sliding pulley smooths out the steering and reduces residual pull on release. Whether you ride freeride, Big Air, surf, or foil, the Moto Apex is built to do it all without compromise.
Key Features
- High Aspect Design: Delivers greater efficiency, increased hang time, and faster board speed through the wind window.
- Aluula Composite Struts: Lightweight and rigid, Aluula struts reduce overall kite weight while dramatically increasing strut stiffness for consistent shape and control.
- Teijin D2 Ripstop Canopy: Engineered for lightweight performance, exceptional bias control, and long-term durability under demanding conditions.
- HT140 Reduced Diameter Leading Edge: Lowers overall weight, improves aerodynamic efficiency, and speeds up steering response.
- 7-Point Precision Apex+ Bridle: Provides direct, responsive steering with tight pivot turns and confident lift during kiteloops.
- Single Sliding Pulley: Adds smoothness to bar feel and reduces residual pull on release for dynamic, loose steering.
- Swept Wing Tip Design: Reduces drag and focuses canopy power toward the center for more efficient energy delivery.
- High V Compatibility: Designed to fly on a 6m High V setup for increased support and control in stronger winds with tighter, smoother kiteloop turns.
- 2026 Airframe Inflation System: Single-point inflation engineered for simplicity, durability, and quick setup and pack down in any condition.
- Bullet Proof TPU Bumpers: New durable TPU bumpers protect the canopy-to-leading-edge seam and resist abrasion on hard surfaces.
- Versatility: Excels across freeride, Big Air, surf, freestyle, and foil disciplines - a true one-kite quiver option for all skill levels.
Size Options & Which to Choose
- 7M (Wind Range 19-38 knots, 2.32 kg): The smallest and most powerful option for heavy wind days. Ideal for experienced riders in strong conditions or lighter riders seeking maximum response and control in gusty sessions.
- 8M (Wind Range 17-36 knots, 2.52 kg): A high-wind workhorse that still delivers excellent versatility. Best for riders who frequently see strong breezes and want a kite that keeps up without sacrificing maneuverability.
- 9M (Wind Range 15-34 knots, 2.70 kg): A popular all-around size that hits the sweet spot between power and agility. Great for intermediate to advanced riders wanting a single kite to cover most conditions.
- 10M (Wind Range 13-32 knots, 2.88 kg): A versatile choice for moderate winds. Suits a wide range of rider weights and riding styles - an excellent quiver centerpiece for freeride and foil sessions.
- 12M (Wind Range 9-25 knots, 3.23 kg): The light-wind specialist of the lineup. Perfect for riders who want to stay on the water when the breeze drops, and for heavier riders seeking reliable power in lighter conditions.

Why You'll Love It
The Moto Apex represents Cabrinha's most ambitious freeride kite to date, and it shows in every detail. From the Aluula composite struts to the HT140 reduced-diameter leading edge, every component has been engineered to trim weight and sharpen response without sacrificing durability. Riders who have put the Moto Apex through its paces describe the lift as uniquely vertical - more so than anything else on the market - with light bar pressure that never compromises feedback or confidence. Whether you're launching Big Air, carving through surf, or gliding on a foil, this kite adapts effortlessly to your discipline.
Cabrinha has built a reputation for performance gear trusted by riders at every level, from weekend freeriders to world-class competitors, and the Moto Apex carries that legacy forward with a design that truly asks nothing of you but to ride. For those looking for one kite that handles everything the water throws at them, the Moto Apex is that kite.

FAQ
What size Moto Apex should I choose?
Size selection depends on your weight, your local wind conditions, and your riding style. As a general rule, lighter riders and those in stronger winds should size down, while heavier riders or those in lighter conditions should size up. The wind range chart on this page is based on a 75 kg rider - if you're significantly heavier or lighter, adjust accordingly. If you're unsure, feel free to email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com and we'll help you find the right fit.
What disciplines is the Moto Apex best suited for?
The Moto Apex is designed as a true all-rounder. It excels in freeride, Big Air, surf, foil, and freestyle riding. Its high aspect design, responsive bridle, and swept wingtips make it particularly strong in freeride and foil applications, while its light bar pressure and pivot turning ability shine in surf and freestyle conditions.
What is Aluula and why does it matter?
Aluula is a high-performance composite material used in the outer struts of the Moto Apex. It is significantly stiffer and lighter than conventional strut materials, which means the kite holds its shape better in flight, responds more quickly to bar input, and can turn tighter. The result is a kite that feels noticeably more reactive and alive compared to traditional construction.
Does the Moto Apex work with the Cabrinha Unify Control System?
Yes. The Moto Apex is designed to work with the Cabrinha Unify bar, specifically using the High V setup. The High V configuration gives the kite increased support and control in higher winds and allows for a tighter, smoother turn during kiteloop maneuvers. The Unify bar can be added as an accessory at checkout.
Is a pump included with the kite?
The kite itself does not include a pump by default. A Cabrinha Pump STD/XL is available as an add-on accessory at checkout. If you already own a compatible pump, the Moto Apex uses the standard 2026 Airframe single-point inflation system, which is quick and straightforward to use.
What do the color codes C1, C2, and C11 mean?
C1, C2, and C11 refer to the specific colorway options available for the 2026 Moto Apex. These are cosmetic differences only and do not affect the kite's performance or specifications. If you'd like to see color swatches before purchasing, check the product images above or contact us for assistance.
