These look absolutely amazing , can't wait to try them . Here is a run down by Keahi & a Insta link to Adam Bennetts just ripping on the 1000 cm2 plus I was chatting to him last night and he loves it but hanging out to try the 800. Not sure when they are available but can't be far off.

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 ??????
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.
Thanks Dale really is doing some great work , this is the same shape as my 4-6 x 28 litre but this one is 33 litres , just to get a bit more float for paddle power.

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?

Well, that makes me want to have it but in France it is super expensive 2 450 euros !!

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?
Sounds like a great foil Piros ,how does it take wingtip breaches?
And if have you ridden the Gofoils GT or RS can you compare?
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 .

did not gel with the super thin Armie stuff. GF is a good compromise. Would be interesting to try but I think at my weight and on a sup it would be a challenge
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 .

How would you compare the 1000 to Kujira 1095 ??
I've never got to ride the 1095 , so hard to get .Speaking with Adam Bennett's he rates the 1000 over the 1095.
I hope to grab a demo H1200 today (couldn't get the 1000), it will be interesting to compare to my 1210.
Getting to watch Adam ride quite a few different brands it looks to me like the 90cm and up wing span HA foils are a little out of control unless turning at slow speeds. Particularly on the Takuma and the lift but still on the cabrinha. The 90 cm wing span probably offers the best compromise on easiest pumping and still turning for the average like me.
He's best performance surfing seems to be on the Vyper due to its narrower wingspan and he can pump it. Sure the HA carves are nice but it takes a special fat section for him to make the most of them. Maybe the H800, RS850 and lift 120/90 will come the closest.
RS1150 ,Cab H1200/1000, Takuma 1210/1095, lift 120/170 are all very similar wingspans,
If your looking for surfing performance I don't see these HA's performing like the RS1000, Takuma 980 or Vyper 170/150.
Piros you would have had us average on the Takuma, Lift and then Axis all within a short period of time and now Cabrinha! You must be getting a Bro deal there along the way surely. 
I do like what Cabrinha have done with their wingspan's and aspect ratios and think they are bang on the money for most in that respect but they are following in Lifts footsteps.
Interesting to to be a foiler.

Agree if turns are your interest and you have decent waves wings over 90cm wide are a challenge.
This Adams latest video on the Cabrinha , 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.

Yes but on the smaller H650 with only a 720 wing span and absolutely ripping as always. A very good example of what I was talking about with the small wingspans.
As good as foiling gets I think but he can do that on any of the major brands small wings. Gofoil RS650 (almost the same dimensions), lift HA90, Axis 799. For those already with an investment of a major brand. Adam's riding is any Brands dream.
Everyone is an Influencer and I think your comparisons between the brands and wings you have owned is valuable.
I rode the RS650 it did not go like that, I wonder why?
Oh to be young, fit and light again.
Oooohhhh that's not the 1000. No wonder. Obvious difference in attacking white water there from the 1000.
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 .

Thanks for reporting! Looks like the H1000 is money (literally and figuratively ). How is the cabrinha carbon mast? Thickness at the base? Stiffness compared to the other masts you have tried?
Oh and any way to change the tail angle so far? Erik was kinda complaining about that.
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.

I think the carbon mast is the same thickness and stiffness as Armstrong and Lift, if anything maybe slightly more flexy. But I rarely think a mast has too much flex when riding.
Also, I will have a full H-1000, mast and tail set posted for sale in the next few days, if anyone's interested reach out to me before I post it.
Only problem is the front wing took a small knock on one of the tips, dropped it.... first time ever, don't rush putting your mast/foil on the board to get waves!

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.
Yeah good question it's not super stiff Carbon mast but due to it's swept design the flex is down low and it actually feels really good it suits the foil . I put the 90cm Cabrhina Ali mast on and it felt slow and weird so not using it now I'm using the 80 cm carbon for ding and prone now . You can feel the wing and mast load in the turn and feels so smooth in figure 8 transitions .
