News from the Cabrinha headquarters
Cabrinha Brand News
We are proud to announce the relocation of the Cabrinha brand headquarters to its birthplace and creative hub on Maui, Hawaii. During the last 25 years, Maui has inspired the world's most significant watersport innovations. Kitesurfing, tow-surfing, SUP and foil boarding were born in Maui and Cabrinha has played a substantial role in pioneering all of them.
The Cabrinha family, our staff, is made up of the sport's best and brightest individuals who are dedicated to the lifestyle and philosophies of the brand. By gathering the brand's core of Product Development, Brand Management and Marketing under one roof in a unique and inspiring environment, Cabrinha will continue to pave the way in the future of kitesurfing.
