Catalog 2020 - Cabianca Surfboards
In December 2014, I watched Gabriel Medina usher in a new era
for Brazilian surfing. Watching Gabriel win the world title was
one of the proudest moments of my life - not only was he changing the
game, he’d done it surfing my boards. It was also a turning point in my
personal journey as a shaper.

After 35 years of dedication to the craft, the time had
come to follow my dreams, and start my own surfboard
company. In 2015, Cabianca Surfboards was born, and in 2016, we built
our own factory in the heart of the Spanish Basque Country. Looking back
in 2019, the past four years have been incredibly exciting… and challenging!

Building surfboards is second nature to me – building a surfboard
company is a lot more complicated, and I couldn’t have done it alone.
So, to everyone who has been part of the adventure, from my wife
Kelli (who saves my ass on a daily basis), to Gabriel, our
greatest ambassador and his family, Mikel Agote, my business
partner, and you, our loyal customers – Obrigado!.

Performance
Series
Some people worry that a “high performance” shortboard
is not for them. After all, 99% of us will never surf close
to the level of today’s top pros, so why would we try to use
their equipment?

Well, that may be true of the nervous, anorexic pro boards
of the past. But not today. Regardless of if you’re
investing in your first shortboard or semi-pro, in the
same way that these boards helped Gabriel win WCT
events in waves from classic Teahupoo to shoulder
high Snapper, they will help you surf at the absolute
peak of your potential.

              DFK 2.0
              Be part of the evolution. From ‘Da Freak Kid’ to two-time world champion,
              we’ve loved watching Gabriel’s ascent, from high-flying teen prodigy
              to the all-round surfing virtuoso he is today. Just like his surfing, Gabriel’s
              go-to board has evolved constantly over the past decade, becoming
              faster, more balanced and ready for the most progressive power surfer
              on the planet. So to mark ten years of game-changing performance,
              we’re proud to present the DFK 2.0: the latest and greatest version of
              Gabriel Medina’s high performance pro model. Tuned to excel in quality
              waves, the DFK 2.0 will allow you to hit the lip with more power than ever before,
              while maintaining smooth flow and momentum down the line.

              The Medina
              Being the world’s best contest surfer isn’t all about destroying the world’s
              best waves: it’s often more about winning decisive heats in marginal
              conditions. And that’s where The Medina comes in – this is Gabriel’s go-to
              board when he needs to make small waves look amazing, and it’s helped
              him win everything from his 2013 Junior World title to the first-ever WCT
              wavepool contest, the 2018 Surf Ranch Pro. Low rocker from nose to tail,
              a combination of concave to V bottom, and a flatter dome deck makes
              this board stable, yet very lively and responsive. Get this board 2 inches
              shorter than your usual shortboard. Whatever your level, the Medina will turn
              your bad days into fun days… and good days into classic days.

              Bandida
              Turn every seven into a ten. After Gabriel Medina won #thetest contest at Kelly’s
              wave pool with this board, Johnny asked him how it went – his reply? “Bandida!”.
              Bandida (literally ‘Bandit’) is retro Brazilian slang for ‘badass’, and the nickname
              has stuck – even though there’s nothing retro about this ultra progressive shape.
              Designed for high performance surfing on less critical waves like Lowers, Snapper
              and Jeffreys Bay, The Bandida has low rocker and a deep double concave for
              generating tons of speed and drive, but doesn’t compromise on response on the
              face or agility in the air.

              El Caballero
              To get the most out of a high performance surfboard, you need to be
              a high performance surfer, right? Wrong. The Caballero takes the
              Formula 1 DNA of our DFK 2.0 model and makes it just a little more
              forgiving, making it the weapon of choice for good surfers looking for
              excellent all-round performance. Perfect for power surfing, the Caballero
              has a mellow, versatile rocker, single concave, and fuller rails that still
              have lots of bite for good drive and rail-to-rail surfing. If you’re a bigger
              guy who loves hacking the lip – get this board. If you’re improving
              fast and learning to carve beautiful lines – get this board. If you still rip but don’t
              get in the water as much as you used to – get this board!

              Muleke
              Our grommet model is built for maximum froth factor. Muleke is an
              affectionate Brazilian term for a young kid who is both smart and wild
              in equal amounts, so we think it’s a pretty good name for our Grom model,
              which is designed to be both forgiving enough to learn the basics, yet
              progressive enough to keep up with the modern grom’s insanely fast
              learning curve. The Muleke is based upon the DFK 2.0, re-dimensioned
              and adapted for surfers weighing less than 40KG.

As a shaper, these ‘summer toys’ are some of my
favouriteboards to make. Mainly because creating
boards that are insanely fun to surf… are the most fun to
design. For me, a good summer toy is a board that thrives
in average-to-small conditions, catches tons of waves, yet
still rips when the surf gets good. Anyone can make a cool
looking summer board, but to have it still perform when
the waves turn on? That’s the challenge that draws on
every one of my 35 years of shaping experience.

              Uber Twin
              Back in the 1970’s, Mark Richards revolutionized small wave surfboards
              with his twin-fin design, while in the past few years Uber have revolutionized
              transportation with their taxi app. Not that we’re saying our new Uber Twin
              shape is revolutionary – it’s just an insanely fun summer board that combines all
              the speed and looseness of a classic twin with the maneuverability of a modern
              performance shortboard. Run it with a twin fin setup for ultimate retro fun, or
              add the rear stabilizer fin for extra drive and control. If you’re looking for a small
              wave board that flies down the line and turns on a dime, get the Uber Twin.

              70's Twin
              Spirit of the seventies, performance of… now.

              Just like the spirit of the seventies, the twin fin never really died – it lives on in the
              muscle memory of old surfers and shapers, and in the upgraded designs of
              guys like Johnny, who learned from the masters. Johnny’s version has plenty
              of the cruisy retro feel of a classic twin, but with all the extra sensitivity and
              response you expect from a modern master of performance shapes.

              Obscenely high performance in a fun and friendly package.

              For this design we took the basic shape of The Medina and introduced elements
              that make stubby summer boards such wave catching machines – extra width,
              a fuller foil, a rocker and plenty of foam under the chest. Finally, we added a
              triple wing, making this board perfect for high velocity snaps and releases.

              This guy makes you love the waves you thought you hated.

              Summer doesn’t have to be a bummer, and when it comes to making the
              most of small, gutless surf, the Go-To Guy will always show you a good time.
              The secret to this board’s ultra high fun factor is how its high volume and
              width is combined with performance rails, subtle rocker and a single
              concave throughout, making it an easy-going wave catcher that still loves
              to be surfed progressively.

                   Designed for the older, experienced surfer who needs a little extra foam but still
                   wants the performance feel of their favourite shortboard, the VISA works great
                   in everything from knee-high grovelers to pumping overhead waves. Combining
                   the rails and rocker of a performance shape with a fuller outline and higher volume
                   also makes the VISA perfect for intermediate surfers working their way

                   Omelette
                   Our personal take on a funboard classic.

                   Perfect for beginners and surf schools, the Omelette is also ideal for intermediates
                   looking for a cruisy board that works in a wide variety of conditions. What
                   makes the Omelette better than your average Egg is its tip-to-tail vee bottom
                   contour: this allows the fuller, high volume shape to remain responsive
                   from rail to rail, while slicing through chop on windblown faces.

                   Trimmer
                   A modern twist on a timeless classic.

                   The Trimmer is a longboard that follows in the footsteps of the greats
                   – Jed Noll, Takayama – but adds a little extra dash of the radical
                   performance Cabianca shapes are known for. The full rails, classic
                   outline and flat rocker make for effortlessly smooth down-the-line surfing,
                   while the subtle tip-to-tail vee bottom ensures fast and fluid
                   transitions from rail to rail.

                   We took the classic, sophisticated shape of the Trimmer and added a little
                   performance edge to it. A pinch more rocker, less area in the nose, and a slimmer
                   tail to increase both velocity and maneuverability. If you like combining
                   big moves with a smooth flow, the Slimmer is the longboard for you.

                   Although Johnny has built his reputation for performance shortboards,
                   like any master shaper he loves to create shapes for every kind
                   of surfer – and his SUP designs are no exception.

                   In fact, Johnny has been shaping SUP’s since 2005, and his high
                   performance models are becoming increasingly popular in the pro
                   SUP community. So whether you’re a beginner looking to master the basics,
                   or an expert ready to double down on high performance – get
                   in touch and find out how a Cabianca custom epoxy SUP can raise
                   your paddleboard game. SUP’s are made in EPS/epoxy construction.

Inland Surf
Series
Gone are the days when surfing was only accessible
to those living in coastal areas. Since its inception,
the sport has constantly pushed new boundaries
and generated new concepts and technologies.

With a rising level of inland surfing, the demand for
high-performance surfboards tailor-made for a new
variety of waves has also increased.

But while traditional surfboards are a good entry point
into the sport, the bottom line is inland (and wake)
waves just don’t break the same way as ocean waves.
As a new and rapidly evolving sport we’re really excited
to be pioneering new inland surfboard designs that will
help surfers at the cutting edge of the sport evolve even
faster. For the past three years, we’ve been working with
the best river and wake surfers to create the best inland
surfing shapes on the market, and we’re now ready to
make this an official category in our product offering.

              Zero Salt
              Taking everything we’ve learned about the characteristics of static
              waves, The Zero Salt has been designed from the ground up for high
              performance surfing in rivers and wave pools. Extremely agile,
              responsive     and     built with a unique bottom   shape,   rocker
              and fin setup, this board makes zero compromises when it comes
              to fresh water ripping.

              Due to the high wear and tear when surfing rivers, we recommend
              ordering the EPS/Epoxy construction with reinforced fin plugs, carbon
              rails, and a solid tail patch.

              Slash
              With its PU/Polyester construction, the Slash has a classic surfboard
              flex that’s designed to give you the feeling you’re surfing a real beach
              wave – even if you’re miles from the shoreline. To optimize the Slash for
              wake surfing, we reduced volume and honed down the rails to make
              it feel fast and super-responsive under your feet. Finally, we gave this
              board a small fin quad setup, for ultimate speed and plenty of drive.

Taking Epoxy Technology to the Next Level

At BCSC we take pride in integrating
cutting-edge construction materials
using the best techniques in the industry.
Take our Carbon Roots technology:
instead of glassing carbon tape onto
the blank, we carefully place carbon
roving strips into pre-shaped channels,
eliminating surface bumps and
maximising the board’s structural
integrity.

Artwork
Custom Sprays, Tints & Decals
Sometimes, it’s not enough to have a board that surfs
magic – you want it to look magic, too. We love turning
creative ideas into finished artwork, and whether you’re
dreaming of a classic retro tint, polish, a full graphic skin
or a wild-style spray job, we’ve got the skills and
experience to make it a reality.

Tips for Designing Your Dream Board                                         Colors:

EPS or PU? When it comes to custom artwork for your surfboard,
PU offers more versatility and scope for colourful, creative designs
– the colours on these pages are all available sprays, in any                                     *                *              *                *
combination. Applying spray colours to EPS boards is generally                          Fluor green    Fluor yellow    Fluor orange   Fluor pink
more difficult (and expensive), we only offer a smaller range of colours
(options marked with *). For EPS type boards we recommend sticking
with a single colour design.

Color Print: Printing directly onto rice paper or fabric means your fully
custom artwork can be realised on your surfboard. Send us your artwork,
and we’ll take care of the rest – or just ask to see our stock designs.                   Black
                                                                                                  *         Gray          White         Prints
