Has anyone got a Cabrinha Code they can share their experiences with?

Its a board on my short list and I would love to get some feedback from owners before I bite the bullet and buy one.

What were you riding before (comparison).
What size have you got.
What's good about it, and what's not so good.

Thanks in advance.

Very nice piece of kit, very light too. I'm a big fan of the chines, they don't seem to touch the water in tacks, gybes and wave rides like the new skool, quick planning, boxy railed boards can do. Gets up on foil easy and very comfy handle. Works great with the new Cabrinha foils too, I was on the 5'0 Code and H1200 in this vid. Foot strap holes limit you to the Y styled front straps though. I'm currently on the 75L Fanatic and was on the 80L Quatro.

Thanks for the review and really nice vid.

I'm basically down to the Fanatic 75 vs the Code 78, any further insight you can provide? I've ridden a 95 Fanatic and liked that but there a no demos of the Fanatic 75 or any of the Code to try out before I drop the cash on one of them.

New model Fanatic 75L? Both good options, the boxy hard rails of the Fanatic help with getting on foil a bit more, kinda of skims across the water. A bit easier to keep your speed after a touch down too. If you are tacking and wave riding the Code is a bit more forgiving when the rails touch but not a deal breaker.

I've got the carbon TE Fanatic and tried the STD construction which isn't much Heavey actually and a bit less stiff which some might prefer.
