As a Cabrinha dealer, I offer competitive pricing, often matching or beating large company specials, with the added benefit of personalized service for all warranty needs. Over the past three years, I’ve attended Cabrinha meetings, learning directly from designers and professional riders about what makes each Cabrinha and Dakine product unique. I stock a full range of rental gear, including wing boards, foils, wings, and kites, in all sizes. Whether you’re local or visiting, I can provide gear for rent or sale, with shipping available if you’re not in South Padre. Boat Charters & Ride-Alongs
I love organizing private groups to enjoy the bay, especially in Hollands Bay (south of Holly Beach), which offers deep water and wind-blown swell—perfect for foiling. I also offer Ride-Alongs for $25 per person, where you can foil alongside me. For private groups, book a Boat Charter Ride-Along at $150 per hour. This fee applies only while I'm actively assisting with transport to the sandbar and helping set up or tear down.
