Kite lessons for Lisa Cabrinha
Pete Cabrinha is known as one of the pioneers of kitesurfing and Cabrinha gear is known as the best in the industry. Today we had a very special student, Pete’s wife Lisa Cabrinha. We always recommend that you don’t have your partner teach you a sport, so we’re proud to teach Lisa who’s also been a professional windsurfer and ski racer before a neck injury that kept her from learning kitesurfing… until now!

“After spending years of competitive windsurfing, ski racing, playing polo and countless injuries especially my neck, I suffer from vertigo and neck pain for years. Pete, Tahiti and I have been surfing as our family sport (I’m not the best at it but probably having the most fun) which I felt my neck was getting stronger! I felt I could finally give kiting a try. So for all those out there that wondered why doesn’t Lisa kite, now you know. They say don’t have your spouse (Pete Cabrinha) teach you a new sport, so I had the best instructor @mauitruenorth!! Had so many laughs as you can hear on the video! Thank you so much Brett!”
