DETAILED DESCRIPTION
When the waves get serious
The S-Quad is for riders who want to confidently take on powerful waves. Its outline and design prioritize speed and control for rail-to-rail surfing, especially where precision is paramount. For small, mushy shorebreak, a more forgiving board like the Arcade will be more fun.
The rocker
The pronounced rocker entry and medium tail allow the board to fit perfectly into steep faces. You'll maintain speed and control through critical sections. This rocker demands commitment, and it truly delivers.
The DSV hull shape
Cabrinha has repositioned and deepened the contours of its double concave into a single concave. The brand announces a board that is smoother in chop, more reactive in turns, and more forgiving under pressure.
Four fins
The quad setup brings speed and grip in the line on steep walls, and true safety in long, fast turns. Charly, a Cabrinha rider, describes a fast board that feels planted underfoot, yet still allows the freedom to push hard in a turn.
S-Quad or Skillit?
Compared to the Skillit, the S-Quad features a slightly straighter rail and a narrower nose, designed for true rail-to-rail surfing. It also includes footstrap inserts. According to Cabrinha, this makes it the board of choice for surfing with straps.
A completely new S-Quad
Everything has changed from the previous S-Quad: it now features Apex Pro Carbon all-carbon construction, a one-piece deck pad, and a DSV hull shape. Cabrinha presents this as their new generation of pure performance kite Surf.

FAQ - CABRINHA S-QUAD 2026
This board is for intermediate and advanced riders who have access to powerful, shoulder-high waves and above. Cabrinha designed it for down-the-line surfing, with or without straps, for riders who love to push their board.
It's an entirely new design for 2026. It features full carbon construction, a one-piece deck pad, and a DSV hull shape.
It comes in a single size: 5'7 with 23 liters. Cabrinha's comparison tool indicates it's ideal for riders weighing 55 to 75 kg.
You get the board, its deck pad, and footstrap inserts. Cabrinha's page doesn't detail the included accessories, so for fins and straps, please ask us before ordering.
Pair it with a kite that's at home in the waves, its bar, a harness, and footstraps if you ride it strapped. A board leash and a bag complete your gear.
After your session, let it dry in the shade. Don't leave it in the sun, and always transport it in a bag. Check the fin boxes regularly, and promptly repair any impact that opens the lamination.
