KEY FEATURES
TAKE TO THE SKY
Cabrinha’s biggest boosting kite in the range with exceptional hangtime.
SMOOTH AS SILK
Pure Form panels deliver clean entry profiles for increased efficiency and a refined, high-speed feel.
NARROWED TIPS
Narrow wingtips put more canopy area in the centre section, improving projected area and airflow efficiency.
HIGH SWEEP, MEDIUM-HIGH ASPECT DESIGN
Powerful, well-balanced and responsive—tuned for massive air and direct, powerful kiteloops.
EXCELLENT UPWIND PERFORMANCE
A refined canopy profile and efficient bridle support help you hold ground with less effort.
ULTRA HT AIRFRAME
Developed exclusively for kite leading edges, Ultra HT reduces weight while maintaining exceptionally low elongation for crisp response and stability.
TECH SPECS
Ultra HT
An Apex series material developed by the CAB Design Works Team for kite leading edges. Reduces airframe weight while providing exceptionally low elongation and fast response. A proprietary coating process increases durability and performance.
Teijin D2 Ripstop Canopy
Engineered for lightweight performance with exceptional bias control and recovery. Works hand-in-hand with Ultra HT to deliver the next level of reactivity.
Bulletproof bumpers
Durable TPU bumpers protect the leading edge and canopy seams, with improved abrasion resistance when resting on hard surfaces.
2026 Airframe Inflation System
Single point inflation engineered for simplicity, durability and global compatibility for quick setup and pack down.
Apex bridles
Thinner, lower elongation bridles optimise efficiency and steering response. Reduced diameter lines improve airflow as it passes between the bridle lines.
Expandapack kite bag
Expanding backpack design for faster packdown and comfortable transport of your kite, pump and control system.

- 7m: 19–38 knots
- 8m: 17–36 knots
- 9m: 15–34 knots
- 10m: 13–32 knots
- 12m: 11–26 knots
Ranges vary with board choice, technique and local conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
Start with the wind-range table, then adjust for rider weight and style: if you prefer powered loops, size down; if you want earlier pull and float, size up. Share your weight + typical wind range and we’ll recommend an ideal quiver.
What does “Apex” mean on this kite?
Apex indicates Cabrinha’s premium construction approach—advanced materials like Ultra HT plus refined canopy and bridle design for lighter weight, increased durability and more responsive performance.
Is it good for boosting and big air?
Yes. The Nitro Apex is tuned for lift, stability and glide, delivering confident take-off, long hangtime and powerful loop potential when the wind is up.
Does the kite include a control bar and lines?
Kites are typically sold as kite-only unless stated otherwise. Check the product options or message us to confirm what’s included.
What’s new for 2026?
For 2026 the Nitro Apex continues the refinement with the Airframe Inflation System plus improved support and feedback for strong-wind sessions.
