spent 2 -3 hours on the new Cab Nomad 9m yesterday.
The wind was very gusty +-15 - 25 Knots and i was riding a 5'10 diectional. Waves were small.
Firstly the Nomad is not a c kite, but is a lot more c shaped than the xbow or switchblade. The kite is very stable in the air (rock solid). The kite sits further forward in the wind window than the xbow and switch and is a really awsome kite for wave riding. When riding down the line on the wave the kite doesnt stall or fall back in the window like it would with the xbow (which i was using in the waves before the Nomad). The kite does have a bridal (unlike some reports) and has a pully on the leading edge.
The Nomad is defenitly quicker through the air than the 2009 xbow and turns really well. It does not have the same bottom end as the xbow and doesnt have the same boost for those insane high jumps that i am used to on the xbow but still jumps really well. Once you are powered up the kite has a lot of power and has more power through the turns. The bar pressure feels lighter than the crossbow but the kite still feels very much like a cabrinha. The Nomad still has a lot of depower so you can still dump loads of power when riding the wave but the bar throw and depower is not quite as much as the crossbow.
I havent seen a wind chart for these kites so not sure what the wind range is supposed to be, but the range is not going to be as big as the crossbow. I felt really comfortable on the kite after 15 minutes on the water, so for Cabrinha riders who are thinking of changing to the Nomad its is a really easy transition. I really loved riding this kite and will be changing from my crossbows to the Nomad as my focus is more on wave riding and in my opinion this is the best kite from Cabrinha that i have ridden in the waves. I beleive that the kite is great for the freestyle junkies as well as it is just so stable. I am hoping to get out on the 7m tomorrow - i think the 7m is going to be a wicked kite in the waves. I hope this helps anyone who is thinking of the Nomad as a kite. I am really stoked with the new Nomad.
