I am disappointed. Cabrinha is usually synonym with quality and good design. This one looks like a cheap, clunky, industrial LF construction. Makes the North foil look good :D

Tired of seeing "New" makeovers of old designs but I am sure beginner "Brand loyalists" will be all over it.

Cabrinha made there setup bullet proof. The all carbon setups cost a $1000 more and are way more fragile.

that weld looks like a bad stick weld not even a tig weld.. I guess you get what you pay for . But I do like the price point to get people on the water on a foil.

at least you don't have to worry about losing your fuselage off the mast.

I've seen that almost happen to a couple lift foils. I'm guessing that may be why its welded and not screwed on like the LF setup.

If they did it right, the mast should be water tight too which was a big complaint with the LF foils.

:thumb: I own a Carbon Taaroa 2 but also a Alu Zeeko foil which looks and performs very well but just like the LF it is hollow and takes in water. One piece solves the problem and makes a sleeker, lighter construction.

Wing Hole spacing ? of the Double Agent Foil ?




Could any owner or shop give me the right hole spacing of the 2016 (2017) Cabrinha Double Agent Foil.
There are probably only 2 screews on front and back wing, not like 3, which you can see in some earlier vids and pics?

Does anybody know about the 2017 Foil / Wings from Cabrinha.
Will there be new Freerace Wings as predicted?

And does the hole spacing may changes here?

Many thanks for your help and time for masurements! :)

I recently askes a few shops, but absolutely nobody could or want to give me a suitable answer... :oops:
