Any update on how the Cab H-Series are going ?

Seen plenty of clips of Keahi & Adam shredding in epic conditions but how are they for your weekend warrior in average conditions.

Here's a video from the weekend of me riding it with my mates on the Lift 120HA . First up I want to say I'm not sponsored by Cabrhina and I paid for this foil . I'm 88kg and the H1000 feels like it was made for me. I have never pumped so effortless in my life and never surfed a foil so well . This thing is ridiculously easy to ride , with an incredible low low stall speed. The flow and feel of this foil on the wave is amazing , it's by far the best thing I have ever ridden . Yes big call but it's true for me. It has all the performance of all the other brand high aspect wings without the mystery drops & buck offs plus you can dig it out of the grave on pumps when you come down off the foil , no shimming or trimming just out of the box plug and play. Just as amazing on the DIng plus I have the H1200 for low wind days & the 650 coming for towing.

Is it the one everybody dreams of ??????

Board look sick to Rob

For me it is for sure , it would take something pretty remarkable to get me off this . I've canceled my 1095 order as I found my happy place . Proned the H1200 this morning, it's same width as the 1000 with a wider cord . Stupid easy to pump and it just glides & glides . Turns similar to the 1000 just not as tight . I did breach once though which is my first time since riding the Cabrhina just gives an idea of the control you have over these foils . I can go out for 2 hours and not come off once , whereas my mates on their other brand high aspects are getting shot by a sniper every 2nd or 3rd wave . It's hard to see but if you look at the wing tip front and back there is a slight seagull wing , maybe this is what is giving all this extra control & stability.

How much do ones of these magic carpets set you back in $AUD mate? I notice surfed website are already sold out but can't see the cost of the mast on there?

Very interesting opportunity to ride the same wing just in different chords. With all the HA hype one might be expecting the 1000 to pump better as it is a fair bit higher aspect.

How do they differ for pumping?

They retail at $3,195 Aus . The difference between the 1000 & 1200 in pump is the 1200 is a touch slower in the pump but longer in the glide . You hear the tips come out all the time with no issues at all on the prone . I didn't realise the tips were coming out on the wing ding until I looked back on the 360 cam footage. No I haven't tried any of the new GF but I have seen it . The Cabrhina is just so much more streamlined and thinner , huge difference. Re the 800 I didn't get that as I chatted to lighter riders that have ridden it & still prefer the 1000 .

Very different to the Army as well , the 1200 would carry you no worries at all Hilly . Good reports on the GF gear as well some great new wings .

I've never got to ride the 1095 , so hard to get .Speaking with Adam Bennett's he rates the 1000 over the 1095.

Yeah that would be a good comparision , lets us know how you go.

AnyBoard said. 90cm and up wing span HA foils are a little out of control unless turning at slow speeds.

Sure the HA carves are nice but it takes a special fat section for him to make the most of them.

Agree if turns are your interest and you have decent waves wings over 90cm wide are a challenge.

This Adams latest video on the Cabriha , check out the tightness of his turns it's mind blowing.

Re my deals on foils yeah I get a discount but I get nothing for free. I've been on Axis for over a year and really enjoyed but regretted selling my Takuma gear for it , I've never owned a Lift only demoed it . I've been waiting a long long time for this Cabrhina.

That is a small foil. Hardly ever comes out of the water even on extreme turns.

Amazing riding and spot.

I rode the RS650 it did not go like that, I wonder why?

Oh to be young, fit and light again.

Had pretty epic Ding on the H1000 with the carbon mast this arvo. I have a 90cm Ali mast but it just feels weird with the H-series wings and slow so it's moth balled now . I was just so used to the Axis 19mm I thought the Cabrhina would need it but it doesn't. Wind was averaging 12 -15 getting a bit higher and lower at times. It was quite a technical sail with the ESE breeze which swung more SE for my run home which made for a tight tack back in a shallow channel. Normally I would have been on my Axis 880 or 930 HPS so the H1000 was smaller than what I would normally use . It really surprised me at just how low wind start I could do ( 6m DT Slick). The biggest surprise was when I went out through the Seaway to the Bombie were we do all our foil tow in's and it was fat solid double overhead and messy .I never fell once and took some serious high speed drops towing the wing. The foil was just so smooth & silent unlike my Axis and just so easy to control . It's so quick and loose on the big wave faces but it never feels like it's going to breach or throw you off. If I had been on my Axis gear I know I would have eaten sh!t half a dozen times. I didn't stay out for too long as I was running solo . I bought the 1200 for the lighter days but I don't think I'll be using it that much after today as I managed to scratch up a couple of 10 knot starts on the 1000. This wing just keeps on impressing me and now the best part my prone and ding set up are exactly the same H1000 + 80cm carbon mast + HS180 tail .

Tested the Cab 80cm against a carbon Unifoil & Takuma T-mast today (compared flex while pushing/twisting at end of fuse when mounted to board).
Takuma stiffest followed by Uni then Cab, surprisingly flexy about twice as flexy as Uni imo.

Yes it is hey, its more flexy then I was expecting when just trying it out on land then.
No concern in the water tho.
