2026 Xcal Apex | Cabrinha
The high-performance freestyle twin-tip board
The Xcal Apex takes a proven favorite and pushes it further. Built for riders who want more speed, more grip, and more immediate response, it delivers a more incisive and connected ride without losing the confidence the Xcal is known for.
Speed, precision, and response
Sharing the same fast outline and explosive character of the standard Xcal, the Apex construction elevates the feel with increased stiffness and less flex lag. The result is a board that reacts instantly when loading up, drives hard upwind, and releases cleanly with powerful, consistent pop.
The refined bottom shape maintains grip and control at speed, while the calibrated rocker line makes landings predictable and composed, even when riding at full power. Every input feels direct, precise, and intentional, allowing you to push harder with total confidence.
If the Xcal focuses on smooth power and comfort, the Xcal Apex focuses on speed, precision, and response. A modern reinterpretation of a classic design.
