The Cabrinha approach to kiteboarding has evolved very much from the same philosophy that Pete has applied to his many years of surfing. By keeping an open mind to all styles of riding and embracing new technologies, Cabrinha has been able to lead kitesurfing into a new era of performance.

Our research and development facility in Maui is perfectly situated for testing in any and all wind and water conditions. This, combined with our own state of the art production facility, assures consistency and accuracy from design to production.

My master’s title at the German Windsurf cup in 1999 was not primarily due to skill but rather to the striving for perfection in the manufacture and fine tuning of materials. This striving for perfection has launched Hiss-Tec, with the manufacture of CARVED custom kiteboards on the Island of Fehmarn in the Baltic Sea, Germany, from the garage to the leader in custom manufacturing.

CORE Kites are “designed and approved by Hiss-Tec in Germany” – designed by experienced kiters and optimized with extensive test flights on the waters around the world.

This ensures the highest levels of performance as well as safety and is the cornerstone of our success.

With our quality and service we also strive for perfection. Longevity and value-maintenance are also absolute important attributes. During CORE production every detail is of the highest quality.

Enjoy the kiting and rip hard!

Bernie Hiss

Owner of Hiss-Tec Fehmarn
