Cabrinha Mantis
The 2026 Cabrinha Mantis arrives as a refined and thoughtfully engineered all-round wing aimed at riders who want versatility without sacrificing control. Structurally, the wing is built around a stiff Dacron inflatable leading edge paired with a drop-strut design that gives the Mantis a very stable airframe. The canopy uses high-quality Teijin D2 ripstop with a load-path panel layout designed...
Cabrinha MANTIS APEX
The Mantis Apex by Cabrinha has quickly established itself as a leading product in the wing foil industry, building upon the legacy of the original Mantis. This innovative wing combines a history of excellence with cutting-edge technology, providing an unrivaled experience for riders. At the heart of the Mantis Apex is Aluula Gold, a lightweight yet highly responsive material that...
Cabrinha Prestige
Cabrinha’s latest hydrofoil has been a long time coming. After the success of their H-series foils several years ago, things went quiet in terms of new wings. Rather than releasing endless incremental updates, Cabrinha took the bold approach of stepping back, rethinking their entire platform, and rebuilding from the ground up. The result is the Union system, and the Prestige...
Cabrinha AER
The AER is an all-new wing from Cabrinha that goes against the flow of the current design brief in the industry. It’s a project wing that started out shedding weight to see what was possible and then surprised the team with just how versatile it was. Gone are the booms and hard handles, and making a comeback are some premium...
Cabrinha MANTIS
The Mantis is Cabrinha’s all-around freeride, wave and big air wing. It’s undergone quite a lot of upgrades over the last year’s model and looks set to be the wing of choice for those riders who aren’t into freestyle but love everything else winging offers. In addition to a new profile and shape, there are also some new materials and...
Cabrinha Bump
Prone foiling has been a part of the hydrofoil riding scene ever since modern day hydrofoils came into play. In the beginning, it posed a great challenge to figure out how to ride and foil properly. However, the barriers have been broken down and now, with the right equipment and board, anyone can enjoy the world of prone foiling. The...
Cabrinha Code
The evolution of the Code board is a shining example of how things improve with time, like a fine wine. As the foils and wings advance, the Code has undergone refinements to cater to the intricacies of this incredible sport. They have increased the volume flow across the entire range, introduced a recessed deck, and adjusted the buoyancy distribution. This...
Cabrinha Link
As passionate wingfoilers, their screens are constantly graced with images of people charging waves or taking to the skies. While these images may seem out of reach for most, with the right equipment, anything is possible. The barrier of entry into sinker board riding has been broken with a wide range of sizes and adaptive strap mounting options. The Link...
Cabrinha Mantis
The ‘04’ Cabrinha collection release brings the 4th generation of the Mantis. Cabrinha promises that the “04 Mantis marks the biggest evolutionary step for this iconic wing”. With so many prominent design and construction improvements, this seems like a pretty fair statement! The predecessor to the ‘04’ mantis set a very high benchmark. It was a versatile wing comfortable with...
Cabrinha Swift
The recent downwind foiling hype has kept the pace of foiling equipment development at an all-time high and has had a huge impact on board designs. Facebook groups have been rife with posts about the secondary use case (or primary, depending on your circumstance!) of downwind boards being light wind-winging boards. Brands have managed to persuade many riders into justifying...
Cabrinha Vision
With the sport evolving at such an incredible rate, they need a wing that matches this evolution and takes them into the next generation of Wing Foiling. Known for its incredible range and light feel, the Vision is back in 04. Increased low-end power in the smaller sizes, refined airflow across the board, and the lightest weight light wind wings...
Cabrinha Fusion H-Series MKII
The Cabrinha H-SERIES is back with an updated design and promises an even more efficient and high-performance package than before. With Cabrinha’s foil offering currently being relatively small, the H-SERIES MKII will hold the flag as their higher aspect design for all foiling disciplines. If it is anything like its predecessor, we know it will deliver both the speed and...

Foiling has a way of cutting through the noise. In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, time on the water offers something simple, a reset, a sense of freedom and a reminder of why we do this in the first place. As the season shifts and the opportunities to ride open up, there has never been a better time to be all in.
Issue 27
When Cabrinha released the Prestige foil using the new Union system, it created plenty of conversation, a new connection, a stiffer mast and a redesigned range of wings promising a step forward in performance. But the real story only appears once riders start putting hours on the water in real conditions. Over the past few months, we have been hearing from foilers around the world riding the Prestige in everything from small wind swell to long downwind runs, and the feedback has been remarkably consistent.
Issue 27
The race gybe is one of the most stylish and practical turns in wingfoiling, blending speed, control and smooth power management into one fluid move. While it can look similar to a duck gybe, the key differences lie in the wing handling and timing, and once dialled in, it opens up a fast, efficient and seriously satisfying way to turn.
Issue 26
Rou Chater sits down with Jon Modica to get technical on The Foil Pod. Check out the full episode on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. The Union Connection System was one of the most talked-about designs at the recent AWSI event in the US, and it is now available to the public, too. Read on to learn the story behind this new direction for the brand and their foils.

This issue it’s all about function. Without wanting to encourage you to head out on your weekly shop to the supermarket in a pair of aggressively soled Salomons , sporting a quick dry and easy wash bamboo t-shirt, and dare we reach so far as a pair of convertible Goretex trousers, there is room, time and cause in life for such brilliantly practical items, (convertible trousers exempt of course). Toeside pumping is your winging equivalent! It won’t win you many style points, but when push comes to shove, you’ll be the one laughing all the way onto your foil.

In this issue, Christian and Karine take you through one of the smoothest, most stylish moves in wingfoiling: the Carving 360. It’s a flowing, technical turn that demands balance, glide, and finesse, but it’s also one of the most rewarding tricks you can add to your repertoire. Think of it as carving artistry on water, a chance to push your foiling to the next level while looking effortlessly cool. Whether you’re building on your Duck Gybe or just itching to try something new, the Carving 360 will challenge you, frustrate you, and eventually leave you grinning ear to ear once you stick your first one!
