Anthony Chavez Wins the 2008 Cabrinha Race Series
Anthony Chavez has added his third Cabrinha Race Series win with his 2008 Series victory.
When the US Sailing Association recognized kiteboarding as an official fleet category, the St. Francis Yacht Club agreed to support an annual race series that was sponsored by Cabrinha. The Yacht Club has been incredibly supportive over the years and kite course racing has exploded in popularity. So much so, that kiteboarding companies have started to take notice and are working to develop race and speed related products. Fast is back in vogue and an exclamation point was recently added with a kiteboarder claiming the fastest 500m speed course record at 49.84 knots.
Naish believes that it has an even faster kite in the redesigned 2009 Helix. Anthony was only able to ride the new Helix a few times, but feels that it will allow him to go even faster and be more competitive in the 2009 Race Series.
Congratulations Anthony for you 2008 Cabrinha Series win, and good luck next year on the new gear.
P.S.
This year Anthony Chavez also proved that the kite was fast by winning the Cabrinha 2008 Race Series on production Cults. For 2009 the kite has been improved with the addition of our new Direct Response Steering and Low Drag Wingtips. Check out
