KEY FEATURES
DSV Bottom — Cabrinha’s double-in-single concave bottom design supports smooth acceleration and predictable control as the board transitions through fast, loaded turns.
High-Entry Rocker — The increased nose rocker helps the rider commit on steeper faces and drops with less risk of the nose catching.
Rear-Set Wide Point — Positioning the wide point further back keeps the board feeling composed and precise when pressure is applied through the rear half of the board during a powerful bottom turn.
Apex Pro Carbon Surf Construction — Cabrinha’s premium full-carbon surf lay-up creates a direct and responsive feel, allowing rider input to transfer quickly into the board.
Performance Surf Outline — The pulled-in nose and slightly straighter rail line are designed for true rail-to-rail surfing, allowing the rider to carve confidently through faster and more powerful waves.
Quad-Fin Setup — Four fins provide the speed, grip and control needed when driving hard through a turn with additional power from both the wave and kite.
Footstrap Inserts — Integrated inserts make the S-Quad Cabrinha’s dedicated choice for riders who want the added connection and control of a strapped performance-wave setup.
One-Piece Deck Pad — The redesigned S-Quad incorporates a one-piece deck pad for consistent grip and contact across the principal riding area.
DESIGNER NOTES
When the waves become serious, the S-Quad is designed to hold its line and accept more pressure. It is tuned specifically for performance wave riding with the additional power generated by a kite.
The high-entry rocker helps the rider commit on steeper faces and drops without catching the nose, while the refined outline and rear-set wide point keep the board composed when driving off the bottom at speed.
The quad-fin configuration produces a fast, grippy and confidence-inspiring feel when the wave stands up and the wind attempts to push the rider wide. The board is designed for riders who enjoy hard rail pressure, powerful carves and turns that can be felt through the legs.
