  • Performance/ Freeride/ Crossover 

    The Cabrinha Switchblade is the best selling kite of all time for a reason:

    The Cabrinha Switchblade is back with its unmatched durability and performance. The 2021 Cabrinha Switchblade is more durable than ever thanks to a brand-new Nano ripstop canopy material. The additional ripstop fibers reduce the fabric's elasticity, which makes the Nano ripstop fabric more responsive and longer-lasting in addition to having a tear strength twice as strong as last year.

    The Switchblade is the best performing freeride kite available and is suitable for all levels of riders in any situation. Come try out a Switchblade at our Waves Village Watersports Resort in the Outer Banks if you've never been on one before and discover what you've been missing.

    What we like about the 2021 Cabrinha Switchblade:

    The Switchblade is the best all around kiteboarding kite out there from beginner to pro, everyone can use a Switchblade. Switchblades are very stable and predictable which makes it a great kite for beginners, and it's that same predictability that makes it such a good freestyle kite for the pros. Switchblades are also one of the easiest kites to relaunch when you crash a feature that we can all appreciate. The upwind ability of the Switchblade is also amazing making it easier when learning how to go upwind as well as when you are enjoying the boosting performance of the highest jumping kite on the market. Finally we like the Switchblades because they have massive amounts of low end power and great de-powerability making a much wider usable wind range per size than a lot of other kites, so much in fact that you can usually replace a 3 kite quiver from other kites with 2 Switchblades.

    Designed for the discerning rider who values unrivaled predictability and uncompromising high end performance, the Switchblade is made for those that want style, power, performance and craftsmanship.

    The Switchblade’s reputation for being the world’s highest performance freeride kite not only comes from the thousands of customers who hail its praise, but from its countless world titles. Fastest sailing craft in the world (2010). King of the air (2017). Worlds highest tow-up jump (2018).

    What's most amazing about the Switchblade is that all this performance comes in one of the easiest to use packages. Its balance and power delivery make this kite light to the touch and simple to fly. Whether you are working on your freestyle game or testing your limits in boosting incredible air, the Switchblade will deliver with a level of predictability and reliability that can not be found anywhere else.

It truly is the most Essential Guide
Format: Paperback
I've worked as a professional comic book letterer for more than a decade. I've had to learn a lot through trial and error since there was so little written about this technical field of work. Finally, there is now a book for amateur letterers to have all they need to understand the craft and for professional letterers to both reference and pick up new ideas from. This book isn't just a tutorial on "how to letter comics." This also showcases creative ways to letter, interesting techniques that even experienced letterers might not know about, and - what I found to be the most helpful - the realities of a letterer's freelance life and ways the write had worked to develop a good workflow and healthy work schedule to avoid burnout or physical strain. This is an engaging book, so even if you know how to letter well or you know nothing about lettering and want to understand the kind of work that letterers do, I highly recommend this as a great read. Through my experience, I developed very different methods than what this guide described, but both are valid and I even picked up new ideas and tried out new ways of doing things while reading this book. If you want to learn how to letter, buy this book. If you want to be a better letterer, buy this book. If you don't want to letter but you want to know more about how comics are made or how one freelances in this industry, this guide is great for that too. The only thing missing is a thorough explanation on how to develop one's own comic book fonts, but like the author said, that would take up an entire book in itself. Here's hoping one day there's a companion guide to comic book font creation, because I would love to learn more about that too.

Truly Essential! The perfect guide to Comic Book Lettering!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I'm completely new to Comic Book Lettering with some experience in Graphic Design but I picked this up just for my curiosity. After taking a quick flip with the book, It does not disappoint and lives up exactly to the title. It TRULY is the essential guide to Comic Book Lettering. This book comes from Nate Piekos who is the founder of BLAMBOT (one of the most professional comic book lettering companies to date). He drops every bit of wisdom and experience he's ever received / gotten through into this book and the result speaks for itself. All the tools, techniques, tips, discussions, etc are found here. He goes through what he uses / recommends for programs and tools, breaks down the structures of what goes into comic book lettering (balloons / dialogue / captions / fonts / etc), teaches you how to create a useful / time-saving templates, gives you pointers even at the most subtle aspects of lettering, covering / creating dialogue balloons, covering / creating sound effects, covering / creating logos, etc. There's so much information and visual imagery here within these pages that I can talk about this book day and night.. and again: I'm completely new to this. The book is honestly that inspiring. I recommend this, without a doubt. A master class in comic lettering! Truly thankful for Nate Piekos creating this book as well as those that helped bring it to publication.

Truly "essential" for any letterer, whether casual or serious about the profession!
Format: Paperback
When I first got this book, I was a bit disappointed. I thought it was going to be detailing lettering by hand. It didn't. But guess what? It's better for it. As the author, Nate Peikos, demonstrates, the bulk of lettering now is done digitally and with good reason. So not only is this book incredibly inspiring for any graphic artist / letterer -- with its many examples of great lettering; its demonstration of useful techniques -- the author is so open and honest in his writing. While reading it, you don't feel that he's putting the job of lettering out of the reader's reach. In fact, he's putting it right within reach through a humility that is coupled with his exceptional skills. If you're an up-and-coming letterer, someone on the outskirts of lettering wanting to delve into it more professional (like myself), or even if you've had some work doing lettering, there is something for each type in this book. It's a book that I'll cherish and reference frequently, especially with all the examples that just ooze inspiration. My only regret is that I didn't know about some of these techniques a few years ago! But, nevertheless, I started implementing some of the techniques the first day after reading just a few pages. It reinvigorated my own desire to become a better and even semi-professional letterer, a very under-appreciated profession.

A great overall book, with one critical omission.
Format: Paperback
This is a great book to illuminate the mysterious art of comicbook lettering. It goes deep into the practical details and theory required to make a graphic novel, manga, or superhero comic with the look and feel of a professional product. But comicbook lettering is actually more than a purely aesthetic art form, it plays a critical role in conveying meaning, emotional mood, and tone of voice. Along with the artwork and panel composition, the layout of the lettering and dialogue balloons is also critical to help guide the reader's eyes naturally from panel to panel. If you're curious about how graphic design for visual narrative works, this is an interesting and inspiring book. My only criticism is the conspicuous omission of perhaps the one topic this author is uniquely qualified to illuminate, and that is: the actual creation of the fonts themselves. I've admired Nate's Blambot comic fonts for a long time (and have purchased licenses for some of them), so I was looking forward to at least getting an overview of how he approaches this seemingly critical aspect of comicbook lettering. But no. He doesn't go into it even slightly, which is a shame, because this would have been the perfect book on the topic if he had. I understand that font design is a huge topic unto itself, but was disappointed that in a book of this size, there weren't even a few pages dedicated to discussing the process of making fonts for comicbooks. Literally anyone reading this book would want to know that information. Having said that, it's a great book, and I still enjoyed it very much. You'll probably be surprised by how much more there is to learn about this topic than you may have thought. Reading it will deepen your appreciation for an art form that, like a great movie score, is basically invisible when done very well, yet amplifies the emotional impact of each contributing discipline, and profoundly contributes to the enjoyment of the final experience.
