DESCRIPTION FROM CABRINHA
Build a Cabrinha Union foil around the way you ride. This package lets you choose your front wing and mast separately, then completes the setup with Cabrinha's Union stabilizer, so you end up with a foil matched to your discipline and level. The Union system pairs an ultra-stiff wing-to-mast connection with a 15% slimmer fuselage profile, high-modulus carbon throughout and only three screws to put it all together.
How It Works
-
Choose your front wing – Prestige or Whippit. This decides most of how the foil feels.
-
Choose your mast – Carbon 16 or Apex Carbon 14. This decides stiffness, drag and budget.
-
Choose your rear wing size – the Union Tail Wing completes the foil and includes the integrated rear fuselage.
Use the charts below to compare the options in each step. Sizes are chosen when you select each product.
Step 1: Front Wing Comparison
|
Prestige |
Whippit |
| Wing type |
High aspect, efficiency and glide |
Medium aspect, freeride / carve and surf |
| Aspect ratio |
High (approx. 10.9–12.4) |
Medium (8.1) |
| Feel |
Long, effortless glide that still turns with confidence |
Loose, surfy and highly maneuverable – as close to surfing as it gets |
| Strength |
Pumping, covering distance with less energy, linking swells; tips resist ventilation when breached |
Quick acceleration, tight rail-to-rail carving and carrying speed through turns |
| Disciplines |
Wing, wake, pump, surf, tow, downwind |
Kite, wing, wake, surf, tow |
| Rider level |
Beginner to pro (largest size is the most forgiving) |
Beginner to pro (smaller sizes aimed at advanced riders) |
| Choose it if |
You want maximum glide and efficiency for waves, pumping or downwind |
You want a lively, playful wing for carving and kite or wave riding |
Step 2: Mast Comparison
|
Carbon 16 |
Apex Carbon 14 |
| Construction |
High-modulus pre-preg carbon, monobloc |
Ultra-high-modulus pre-preg carbon, monocoque |
| Profile thickness |
16 mm |
14 mm |
| Stiffness |
Very high, with major deflection gains over previous generations |
Highest, with exceptional torsional stiffness |
| Drag |
Low |
Lowest – thinner wetted section with a tapered upper for stiffness |
| Lengths |
78 cm / 84 cm |
78 cm / 84 cm |
| Choose it if |
You want a stiff, efficient mast at a lower price |
You want the stiffest, lowest-drag mast for top-end performance |
Mast length tip: 78 cm suits prone, surf, downwind and wing; 84 cm suits wing, kite, tow, freestyle and freeride.
Step 3: Rear Wing
Every build is finished with the Cabrinha Union Tail Wing, Cabrinha's most efficient low-drag stabilizer. It's a single monocoque pre-preg carbon piece with the rear fuselage built in, and every size sits around an 8.5 aspect ratio for a balance of stability and response. Pick the size that suits your style: smaller is looser and more playful, larger is more stable.
Not Sure Which to Pick?
Waves, pumping or downwind: Prestige front wing + Carbon 16 or Apex 14 mast (78 cm).
Kiting, carving and freeride: Whippit front wing + Carbon 16 mast (84 cm).
Maximum performance: Either front wing + Apex Carbon 14 mast.
