Technologies:
- Nano Ripstop Canopy: Launching Cabrinha into the future of kitesurfing technology this new and exclusive material allows for improved stability and reactivity, developed with a unique new coating and treatment doubling the canopy's tear strength, for a kite that is not only more durable and delivers a higher level of performance, but remains crispier for much longer and has significantly reduced elongation over time - High Tenacity Dacron: Specifically manufactured by Cabrinha for inflatable kites, by developing the dacron using ultra-high tenacity yarns with an increased thread count, the design team have created a product that actively combats elongation particularly under the high pressures endured by a kitesurfing kite, resulting in a more accurate shape with less deformation than rival products - Strategic canopy reinforcements in the high stress areas - Pure Profile Panels: Providing Cabrinha's renowned stability, by strategically placing panels the design team have managed to double the aerodynamic profile for the foremost curvature control meaning the kite can fly much faster in the sky which in turn allows it to perform efficiently in a wider array of kiting disciplines! - 1X Security: Upon activation of 1X’s single line flagging system the power of a kite is immediately killed and it will rest motionless on the water or land. - Sprint System w/Airlock: The Sprint inflation system is the most efficient and easy way to get your kite inflated and deflated quickly. The enlarged Airlock valve quickly feeds air into all of the struts from a single location. The Airlock connection to the Sprint pump requires no special adapters. - Dynamic Arc: Dynamic arc allows the kite to have two distinct arc shapes, one shape while flying, and another shape while resting on the water for an easier relaunch. - Power Control: Every Cabrinha kite comes with a simple, user-adjustable way to choose the power level of the kite. Each rear line “pigtail” connector has three power positions you can connect to, allowing the rider to customize their ride. - Heavy Duty Closing Seam Construction

Try one if you dare, and let us know the impact it makes on your riding!</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Deep C-Shape:</strong> With longer tips than the GTS4, the Impact 2 retains the classic C-shape you demand. As such, expect a consistent, uniform pull for extreme pop, and perfectly predictable slack for all your rotations and passes - so you can focus on your moves and not the kite. New for the Impact 2 is a slightly higher aspect ratio in all sizes improving its speed and wind range.</p> <p><strong>Classic-C Tips: </strong>Real C-kites have square wingtips. Connecting lines directly to the Impact 2’s wider square wingtips provides the direct connection you expect from a true C-kite.</p> <p><strong>5 Line Setup: </strong>Just simple and direct line connections to the kite. The only change here is the V on the fifth line is a little deeper offering even more consistent power delivery and improved stability.</p> <p><strong>ExoTex Ultra Rigid Dacron: </strong>The benchmark for performance Dacron. No-stretch ExoTex Dacron incorporates a unique radial reinforcing thread pattern and emulsion (protective coating) process that enables higher pressure airframes with smaller diameters. Especially on C-kites, ExoTex improves airflow, flight stability, and rider feedback by substantially increasing tube strength and rigidity despite reducing diameters.</p> <p><strong>CoreTex Triple Ripstop Canopy: </strong>Exclusive to CORE.

Huge air hoses and strut valves allow uninhibited air flow. And when you haven't kited in a few days, every second counts :)</p> <p><strong>5 Strut Frame: </strong>The classic, bombproof, five strut exoskeleton airframe is a critical component in the Impact 2 design to control and stabilize the kite during kite rotations. This stability creates predictable kite behavior. </p> <p><strong>Active 5th Line Safety: </strong>Classic 5th line safety with a bonus. The Impact’s 5th line always remains perfectly tensioned regardless of the trim adjuster cleat setting.</p> <p><strong>Custom Trim System: </strong>The Impact has three backline and five frontline attachment points to customize your bar pressure and kite flying style.</p> <p><strong>Rapid Relaunch: </strong>Get more out of your freestyle session. With its wide tips and small diameter front tube, the Impact 2 releases better from the water than you would think. A couple tugs on the backline is all you need to get the Impact 2 flying again so you can spend more time mastering your latest handle passes.</p> <p><strong>Sensor Bar Ready: </strong>Although the Impact 2 is a 5 line kite, it’s still fully compatible with the Sensor 2 and 2S bar system which delivers precise kite control, unmatched safety, and uncluttered simplicity. The Impact 2 comes with a 5th line conversion kit for any Sensor 2 or 2S bar. The conversion is quick and simple. The Impact 2 is not compatible with older 4 line Core bars, though.</p> <p><strong>GrinTex Patches: </strong>Anti-wear patches where you need them most. Extreme abrasion resistant patches on leading edge segment seams and struts give the Impact 2 another level of protection from perfectly placed beach hazards.</p> <p><strong>6 Year Parts Availability: </strong>Core's Industry leading durability is backed by a 6-year replacement parts guarantee</p>
