Cabrinha is pleased to announce the 2010 Cabrinha Race Series. This will mark the FIFTH season of the Cabrinha Race Series, the series that introduced kite course racing to the world. The series, hosted by the prestigious St. Francis Yacht Club, has established itself as ground zero for kite board racing world wide. With most of the world's best racers and champions having participated in the series, it has also been a proven test ground for most of the worlds successful R&D regarding boards and fins. John Craig, St Francis Race Director has used his experience with the Cabrinha Race Series to secure the establishment/recognition of a kiteboard class with the US Sailing Association and then the International Sailing Federation. The first two US Nationals/North American Continentals (2007/08) were held by the St. Francis as well as the first Worlds in 2009. No event, especially one of the stature of the Cabrinha Race Series could exist without the support of sponsors.
