The Union platform is Cabrinha's fully modular foil ecosystem. Every component has been designed to work together, allowing riders to change front wings, stabilizers, fuselages and mast options without replacing an entire foil setup.
The system revolves around five key components:
- Prestige front wings – efficient freeride and downwind performance.
- Whippit front wings – early lift and progression-friendly handling.
- Rebound front wings – surf-inspired carving and manoeuvrability.
- Tweaker stabilizers and fuselages – fully adjustable tuning system.
- Union carbon masts – modular mast options for every discipline.
Prestige vs Whippit vs Rebound Front Wings
| Front Wing | Best For | Ride Feel | Recommended Riders |
| Prestige | Wing foil, freeride, downwind | Fast, efficient, smooth glide | Intermediate to advanced |
| Whippit | Progression, light wind, easy lift | Stable and forgiving | Beginner to intermediate |
| Rebound | Surf, carving, parawing | Loose, playful and manoeuvrable | Intermediate to advanced |
Choosing the Right Tweaker Fuselage
The Tweaker Fuselage gives riders two distinct handling options.
| Fuselage | Best For | Ride Characteristics |
| 340mm | Parawing, surf and carving | Loose, agile and highly manoeuvrable |
| 390mm | Wing foil, freeride and downwind | Stable, smooth and confidence inspiring |
Every Tweaker Fuselage includes the complete shim kit, allowing riders to fine tune lift, pitch sensitivity, front-foot pressure and top-end speed in 0.5° increments.
Why Use the Tweaker Stabilizer System?
Small changes in stabilizer angle can transform how your foil feels on the water.
- More lift – easier take-off and lower-speed control.
- Less front-foot pressure – improved comfort on long sessions.
- More stability – ideal for progression and rough conditions.
- Higher speed – increased efficiency and glide.
- Tighter turns – more playful carving behaviour.
Experiment with different combinations, adapt to changing conditions and discover the setup that feels perfect for your riding style.
Which Mast Should You Choose?
| Mast | Best For | Characteristics |
| 78cm | Learning, shallow water | Forgiving and easy to control |
| 84cm | Freeride and advanced riding | Maximum performance and versatility |
| Apex Carbon Mast 14 | Performance riders | Ultimate stiffness and responsiveness |
