Having finally bought some new kites recently I was going through everything that came with them to check it all out. Pulled out all the usual stuff - branded stickers, safety/user guides and patching tape. However I couldn't help thinking something was missing. Admittedly the last time I bought new kites was back in 2006 or so but in the pack with the kite back then there were neoprene Cabrinha branded stubbie holders. Perfect for keeping the beer cold at the end of a session.

I was just wondering if any other kite brands still put useful 'extras' like this in with their gear?

I got a bottle opener and a heap of their buisness cards as fridge magnets???

Now I understand why Cabrinha's end up in the trees.

I got nothin against Cab's just takin the piss, I gather you are fairly new around here?
Any kite can be destroyed if you drop it in front of a wave, just try not to let the kite get too far behind you, heaps of front hand on the way back down next time.

You get a keyring with all Ozone kites, even trainers! And in their water kites you get heaps of spare material, valve caps, cable ties, one pump hose, spare landing line etc...

Cabrinha give you a screwdriver... It's **** but a godsend when someone pops a footstrap out...

Just opened my new cabrinha kit
found a voucher for a free ladder can anybody explain

Its so you can climb down off your high horse

def Ozone have the best extra's
I don't know if they still do but they used to have enough bladder and sailcloth
material to rebuild a couple of kites.
