Cabrinha Union Foil System Explained: Stiffness, Speed & Simplicity with John Modica & Lars Moltrup

In this episode of the FOILERS Podcast, we go deep into the all-new Cabrinha Union foil system — a complete rethink of their foil design built around stiffness, simplicity, and performance.Joining me are John Modica (Chairman of Cabrinha) and Lars Moltrup (Product Development Manager) to unpack:Why the Union system was built from the ground upThe thinking behind the Mike’s Lab inspired connectionHow stiffness, drag reduction, and design choices impact real-world riding feelWhat makes riders say it feels “buttery smooth” on the waterHow to choose between the 760, 905, and 1150 front wingsWhy the 905 is the ultimate all-rounderThe role of stabilisers (and why they matter more than most riders think)A sneak peek at the upcoming Tweaker stabliser and Whippet foilWe also dive into the balance between engineering and rider feel, the realities of building a new foil platform, and Cabrinha’s philosophy of high-performance simplicity without the BS.If you’re into wing foiling, prone, downwind or just want to understand how modern foil systems are evolving — this is one not to miss.
