Anyone tried the new Cabrinha boards?

[John65]

From what I can gather the new Cabrinha SUP boards are now made in the Cobra factory and are much better and best of all lighter than the 2010's.  Has anyone had a chance to try them out?  I am especially interested in the 10' 10".

Sorry - never heard of them but I do like the looks of that 9'8" Surf model!

Yeah.. I have.. They're nice.. They don't have the windsurfing mast track like the pre production models had.

Hi David. 
The Queen is "nice".  What do you mean by "nice".

'Nice' is not 'bad'..  .. and well.. sort of.. 'ok' ..

One thing that is nice about the board in the photo is that its graphics are designed to work with the pad.  The Naish in comparison doesn't look very good in my opinion.  The design on top of the board is half covered by the pad--it would only look good if no pad was used. 

Of course even the Cabrinha's graphics will get screwed up if RailSaverPRO is used on it...

That video on the home page of the Aussie rippin is 9'8 surf model I'm pretty sure. I asked a friend of mine that has had some experience with them and his answer was "meehh"(shrug)

Sorry just read it's a 8'

The new Pro Series looks good.

How much do these boards cost? I know Cabrinha from kiteboarding. There they're on the very top end of the price range, but not always top quality. That got better over the years though.
