Technology

Medium Rocker

Medium rocker boards find the perfect balance between high rocker high performance and flat lightwind rockers making the boards great all around boards with lengthened turning radius. Found on the Ace Carbon, Ace Wood, XO, and Spectrum.

Women's Flex

A softer flex pattern making the board easier to press and manhandle and a bit more forgiving.  Exclusive to the XO.

Paulownia Wood Core

We use a premium “A-grade” Paulownia wood core which is vertically laminated to optimize strength, reduce weight and allow the board to flex more naturally and freely. Found in all 2018 models.

Volcanic Basalt

Basalt is a volcanic mineral fiber which offers vibration resistance and durability while maintaining a high strength to weight ratio. Washed pure molten basalt rock is absent of toxic additives. The combination of wood core with basalt laminate provides a flex characteristic, unique to Cabrinha.

Carbon Fiber

Customized double 45 degree bias Carbon Fiber is a lightweight and durable laminate that maximizes performance by stiffening the flex pattern for increased response and explosive pop.

Parabolic Rails

Core profiling is the most efficient way to control tip, tail and torsional flex. Tapered raised rails control the torsional stiffness and enhances flex control while keeping the board weight to a minimum. Freeride boards benefit the most from the technology with a substantial increase in rebound.

ABS

ABS is a tough hard wearing composite material which bonds very well to epoxy. This is used during the lay-up process ensuring a smooth, durable and consistent ride. All twin tip rails and insert blocks are made from ABS material.
