My first kite was a Cabrinha Crossbow kite, a so called bow-kite. The kite is from 2007 and still going strong! The kite is smashed in the water hundred times and the bar has been used so much that it's about to fall apart! Still the kite looks like brand new and it holds the air for days! The Cabrinha Crossbow is a great kite, but I tested many other bow-kites and they simply are the best and this site is dedicated to them!
