Description

In this episode, we sit down with Brendan Healy, Sales Manager at Cabrinha, to dive deep into the design and development of the 2026 Cabrinha Mantis Apex wing. Brendan shares the story behind Cabrinha’s first Aluula wing, explaining how the team found the perfect balance between performance, flex, and cost. We talk about material choices, boom compatibility, rigid handles, fiberglass battens, and why the 4m, 4.5m, and 5.5m sizes made the cut for this limited-edition release. If you’re curious about what makes the Mantis Apex a standout in Cabrinha’s lineup—and what might be coming next—this conversation has it all. Whether you're chasing swell, freeriding, or just wing-curious, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.
