Following the success of the First Run and stock Z Line release, the Anthony Barela Cigarra is now available in our signature ESP plastic blend—offering the same trusted flight with added grip and vibrant swirls. The Cigarra has quickly become a favorite among fans and touring pros for its versatility and workability across skill levels.
Designed for hyzer-flips, stand-up forehands, and glidey turnover lines, the Cigarra excels at holding its angle through the entire flight. Whether you're carving technical wooded shots or shaping wide-open lines, this disc gives you the confidence to commit. Add the enhanced feel of ESP and you’ve got a disc that performs as good as it looks.
The Cigarra, is a modified, overstable evolution of the beloved Cicada, designed in collaboration with Anthony Barela.
As Barela’s first signature disc with Discraft, the Cigarra redefines what’s possible with the Cicada, allowing players to unleash more power and achieve greater distance and control in every shot. This disc is built for those who push the limits and demand more stability for their throw.
The Meaning Behind the Name "Cigarra"
The Cigarra name isn’t just a clever reference to its predecessor, the Cicada—it’s also a tribute to Anthony Barela’s heritage. In Spanish, “Cigarra” translates to cicada, making it the perfect name for this overstable evolution of the mold. Just like its namesake, the Cigarra is built for endurance, resilience, and making an impact when it takes flight. This thoughtful name choice reflects AB’s deep connection to his roots while continuing to push the boundaries of disc design and performance.
Discraft
We were captivated by the flying disc craze of the 1970's. To interact with a spinning disc and watch it fly is truly a beautiful thing. Our frustration at the time was over the quality of the discs that were available; flight patterns were inconsistent, distance potential was low, and the quality in general was poor. Those discs were manufactured to be toys, and we wanted high performance sports equipment to keep up with the increasing skills of the players. In 1978 we launched Discraft to serve disc sports athletes.
