Compare the different Union front-wing profiles, then choose a wing kit or contact us for a personalised recommendation.
Origin
Best for: Progression, accessible lift and all-round foiling
Ride character: Stable, predictable and confidence inspiring, with smooth lift at manageable speeds.
Choose it if: You are learning, developing transitions, riding in lighter conditions or want an easy platform that can support continued progression.
Prestige
Best for: Efficient freeride, glide and performance foiling
Ride character: Fast, efficient and precise, with strong glide and smooth, controlled turning.
Choose it if: You are a confident rider who values efficiency, speed, distance and a refined high-aspect feel.
Whippit
Best for: Surf-style carving and responsive freeride
Ride character: Lively, agile and highly manoeuvrable, with quick acceleration and responsive rail-to-rail control.
Choose it if: You want a more dynamic foil for carving, linking sections and creating a surf-inspired feel under power.
Domani
Best for: Powered swell, speed and committed carving
Ride character: Fast and composed, carrying momentum through turns while remaining controlled as water energy increases.
Choose it if: You ride powered ocean or river swell and want to carve hard, transfer energy efficiently and stay balanced at higher speeds.
Rebound
Best for: Wake foiling, kite foiling and aerial recovery
Ride character: Stable and intuitive, with controlled speed and dependable recovery following touchdowns and breaches.
Choose it if: Your riding is focused on wake sessions, lower-speed control, jumping or recovering quickly after aerial manoeuvres.
Not Sure Which Wing to Choose?
The right choice depends on more than surface area. Rider weight, board volume, discipline, ability and usual water conditions all affect the best setup.
Tell us how and where you ride, and we will help you shortlist the most suitable front wing, stabiliser, mast and fuselage.
Build Your Cabrinha Union Foil Setup
Build the system around your preferred front wing, then select the mast, fuselage and stabiliser that match your discipline and desired ride feel.
1. Choose Your Front Wing or Wing Kit
Start with the riding character you want. Choose Origin for accessible progression, Prestige for glide and efficiency, Whippit for surf-style carving, Domani for powered speed and Rebound for wake, kitefoil and aerial-focused riding.
2. Choose Your Mast
Union carbon masts prioritise low weight, stiffness and direct response. The Union Alloy Mast offers a durable and more accessible entry into the system, including shorter options suited to learning and shallower water.
3. Select the Fuselage and Stabiliser
Fuselage length and stabiliser size influence stability, turning response and pitch control. A more stable configuration supports progression, while smaller or more responsive components create a looser, more manoeuvrable ride.
4. Fine-Tune with the Tweaker System
Experienced riders can use the Tweaker fuselage, stabiliser and shim options to adjust manoeuvrability, stability, lift and pitch sensitivity around their riding style and conditions.
Union Foil Setup Advice for UK Conditions
- Learning and progression: Prioritise smooth early lift, stability and a manageable speed range. Origin is the clearest starting point.
- Efficient freeride and glide: Choose Prestige when efficiency, distance and a refined high-aspect feel are the priority.
- Surf-style carving: Consider Whippit for a lively, responsive foil that rolls quickly from rail to rail.
- Powered swell: Domani is designed to carry speed through committed turns while remaining controlled as energy increases.
- Wake, kitefoil and aerial riding: Rebound provides controlled speed and dependable recovery following touchdowns or breaches.
- Choppy or gusty water: Choose a predictable setup with enough stability to reduce fatigue and maintain control.
- Fine-tuning: The Tweaker system suits experienced riders who understand how fuselage length, stabiliser size and angle adjustments affect ride feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choose Origin for stable lift and progression, Prestige for glide and efficiency, Whippit for surf-style carving, Domani for speed and control in powered swell, or Rebound for wake foiling, kite foiling and aerial-focused riding. Your weight, board volume, experience and usual conditions should also influence the final choice.
The Origin is the clearest progression-focused option. It produces smooth lift at manageable speeds and prioritises stability, predictable handling and confidence. Its accessible ride character helps newer riders concentrate on take-off, balance, transitions and control rather than constantly managing the foil.
Origin prioritises early lift, stability and ease of use. It is designed for progression, light-wind sessions and riders who want predictable control. Domani is intended for more powered conditions, carrying speed through turns and converting the energy in ocean or river swell into controlled acceleration and carving performance.
Prestige has a high-aspect, efficiency-focused character that suits riders looking for glide, speed and refined freeride performance. Whippit places greater emphasis on responsive turning and a lively, surf-oriented feel. Choose Prestige for efficiency and distance, or Whippit for tighter carving and rail-to-rail response.
Rebound is designed around controlled speed, dependable recovery and aerial progression. Depending on the selected size and setup, it suits wake foiling, kite foiling and riders practising jumps or tricks where predictable recovery after touchdowns and breaches is important.
No. A Union Wing Kit normally combines a selected front wing with a compatible stabiliser and the specified covers and mounting hardware. A compatible Cabrinha Union mast and fuselage are still required unless the individual product description explicitly states otherwise. Always check the product’s included-components list before ordering.
Union carbon masts prioritise low weight, stiffness and direct response. The Union Alloy Mast provides a durable and more accessible route into the platform, with shorter options that can suit learning and shallower water. Mast length should be selected according to experience, water depth, conditions and preferred discipline.
The Cabrinha Union Foil System is a modular hydrofoil platform built around a low-drag connection between compatible front wings, masts, fuselages and stabilisers. It allows riders to choose components around their ability, preferred discipline and desired ride character without replacing the complete foil every time their needs change.
A longer fuselage or larger stabiliser generally creates a more stable and composed ride. Shorter fuselages and smaller stabilisers usually produce a looser, more responsive feel. Experienced riders can use the Cabrinha Tweaker system to make more detailed adjustments to manoeuvrability, stability, lift and pitch sensitivity.
Yes. Send Kite Wing and Foil your weight, board volume, foil experience, preferred discipline and usual wind and water conditions. We can help you select an appropriate front wing, mast, fuselage and stabiliser while checking that the chosen components are compatible.
