Cabrinha Recalls 1X Kiteboard Control Systems

May 17, 2017 — Cabrinha Kites issued a recall for about 2,900 of the 2017 model-year 1X Kiteboard Control Systems. Cabrinha has received 6 reports of the metal Power Bracket Seat (PBS) breaking. This can cause the kite to detach from the rider, resulting in loss of kiteboard control. No injuries were reported, but Cabrinha warns:

“There is a possibility of line failure leading to loss of rider control and/or separation of rider from kite after safety activation. Under some circumstances this could lead to injuries or rider stranding.”
