Re: BOOM! Cabrinha has been sold!
@fzonatto: It seems that Pete Cabrinha together with an investment company (Water Bound Investments, which somehow belongs to Jon Modica) has bought the company back from the current owner (I assume the Pryde group which Cabrinha was part of according to their webpage at http://www.pryde-group.com/brands.html). They also hired a new CEO (Kent Marinkovic). So it seems that Pete Cabrinha is now IN more than before (Founder and Brand Director).
Hope it helps!
