Cabrinha Rocket Kite Surfboard - 2026

SKU: K6SBRCKET505XXX
Sale price£1,070.00

HIGH-SPEED DIRECTIONAL SURFBOARD

SIZES: 5’5" x 17.0” x 1.8” - 17.5L

Old-school charge. Modern control.

The Cabrinha Rocket Kite Surfboard 2026 is a fast, narrow directional board designed for riders who want maximum speed, secure edge control and powerful carving performance. Inspired by the highly driven directional boards of early kiteboarding, the Rocket combines that committed ride feel with modern bottom shaping, premium carbon construction and more refined control.

Its medium entry rocker helps the board manage chop and maintain composure through the front section, while the low tail rocker releases efficiently and generates rapid acceleration. The centred wide point keeps the board balanced when fully powered, allowing riders to hold speed and load the rail without the board becoming nervous or unpredictable.

Underneath, Cabrinha’s DSV Double-in-Single concave controls water flow and helps the Rocket remain smooth and planted as speed increases. The quad-fin configuration adds strong grip and directional stability, making the board particularly effective for powered freeride sessions, fast downwinders, strong-wind carving and riders who enjoy driving hard through the rail.


Who the Cabrinha Rocket 2026 is for

The Rocket is best suited to experienced directional riders who value speed, grip and control more than low-speed forgiveness. Its narrow 17-inch outline and low 17.5-litre volume create a direct and connected feel, rewarding confident riders who actively drive the board.

It is especially well suited to riders who want:

  • A fast directional board for powered kiteboarding
  • Strong edge hold and control in higher wind
  • A narrow, precise outline that feels composed at speed
  • Quad-fin grip for hard carving and powerful turns
  • Footstrap inserts for a more connected strapped setup
  • Premium Apex Pro Carbon surf construction

Performance Highlights

  • Effortless acceleration from the medium-entry to low-tail rocker profile
  • Strong high-speed control from the narrow, balanced outline
  • DSV Double-in-Single concave for smooth water flow and composed carving
  • Quad-fin configuration for grip, drive and directional stability
  • Centred wide point for balance when riding fully powered
  • Apex Pro Carbon construction for responsive, lightweight performance


From fast flat-water carving and powered downwinders to strong-wind directional riding, the Cabrinha Rocket 2026 is designed for riders who want to ride fast, push hard and remain completely connected to the board.

Description

High-speed directional kite surfboard built for powered riding, committed carving and maximum control.

Inspired by the fast directional surfboards of kiteboarding’s early years, the Cabrinha Rocket Kite Surfboard 2026 combines old-school charge with modern control. Its narrow outline, centred wide point and speed-focused rocker profile are designed for riders who want to carry serious board speed while remaining composed and connected through every turn.

The medium entry rocker helps the nose manage chop and rougher water, while the transition into a low tail rocker releases efficiently and generates rapid acceleration. This creates a board that builds speed with very little resistance and rewards riders who actively drive through the rail.

Cabrinha’s DSV bottom — a Double-in-Single concave design — helps control water flow beneath the board, smoothing the ride and maintaining composure as speed increases. Combined with a quad-fin setup, premium Apex Pro Carbon surf construction and footstrap inserts, the Rocket delivers the grip, feedback and control needed for strong-wind directional riding, powered downwinders and fast carving sessions.

DESIGN PROFILE

Fast rocker, centred wide point, quad-fin setup and DSV bottom.

FEATURES

  • DSV Bottom – Double-in-Single concave design
  • Medium entry rocker to low tail rocker – tuned for speed, acceleration and control
  • Centred wide point – balanced feel when riding fully powered
  • Apex construction – premium Pro Carbon surf layup
  • High-speed directional shape – inspired by the fast, driven riding style of classic directional kiteboards
  • Quad-fin setup – increased grip, drive and high-speed control
  • Footstrap inserts – supports a secure strapped directional setup

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Rocket is designed for experienced directional riders who want speed, grip and direct board feedback. Its narrow 17-inch outline and low-volume shape feel precise underfoot and are best suited to riders who are comfortable actively driving a rail and controlling the board through powered conditions.

Choose the Rocket for fast flat-water carving, strong-wind sessions, powered downwinders and high-speed directional riding. Riders looking for a wider, more forgiving everyday wave board may prefer the Cabrinha Skillit, while the Rocket is the better choice when outright speed and control are the priority.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

  • Rapid acceleration from the efficient low-tail rocker
  • Composed control at speed through the narrow outline and centred wide point
  • Powerful rail engagement for committed carving
  • Strong directional grip from the quad-fin configuration
  • Smooth water flow through the DSV concave bottom
  • Direct, responsive feedback from the Apex Pro Carbon surf layup

The Rocket is designed for high-speed directional kiteboarding, powered carving, strong-wind control and fast downwind riding.
