The Deep Dive: Cabrinha Swift foilboard review | Foiling Magazine

That's one slick looking board!

nice to see something slightly different from the pack ! lots of rocker for those beautiful waves -but would it work in flatter light wind conditions ?

[@poseidonwatersportsuk]

It’s designed for flat water and light winds, that’s where it excels. Our filming day turned out to be firing, but this board is all about early take off and ease in mellow conditions. The rocker helps with touch down, whilst the rear section is totally flat and narrow to help it accelerate and release

[@Twizz1979]

Great question. Exactly what I keep thinking with the rocker. That much rocker makes me nervous about truly light winds. I do have to say I have a Macro 58l and love the nose rocker, it pops off the water on touch downs so nicely. To get going, the back of the board is flat, so I lean towards the back for takeoff. And I usually don't like rocker on boards but the macro I've come to love. Anyway I'm assuming cabrinha is following similar consideration in this design. Thanks for the video!

Great review! How do you compare it with Armstrong midlenght and KT ginxu super k in a similar volume?

[@poseidonwatersportsuk]

Cabrinha were early and ahead of the pack to the "midlength" game and the swift nails the brief of a fast take off board that is lively to ride and versatile to different disciplines. But things do move quickly and the Army ML shape and construction is pretty special at gaining more ML performance. We havn't tried the Super K to give an honest comparison

I have a 6’3” being delivered tomorrow! Yay!

dude.. chill.. it's ski season still.

[@carstensen100]

I have one on order - how do you like it?

[@snowpigpow]

@@carstensen100 it’s awesome - fast to get on foil, light, responsive - love the sunken concave deck

[@keyWestLegalRum]

I like it for medium waves or wind swell. I find I like the mast further back, easy pop up in light wind and good glide when I pump. Where did you have mast set? Also it’s fast

Also I ride 85L and I am 190lb

Dreamy for those mellow conditions. We had an AK foil mounted centre of the tracks on these clips. Obviously it depends on the foil to find the best balance, but I agree it feels nicer to be mounted further back than usual on this board, I feel that’s because of 2 very different sections to the bottom shape and nice to be able to utilise the flat rear half
