A pioneer of modern ocean sports, Pete Cabrinha is a Hawaiian waterman whose career spans windsurfing, big-wave surfing, and kitesurfing. Crowned world champion in windsurfing in 1985, he later became part of the Maui crew that pushed the limits of big-wave riding in the 1990s. As the founder of Cabrinha, he helped bring kitesurfing from fringe experiment to global sport. Alongside his work on the water, Cabrinha is also an artist, translating a life shaped by wind and waves into visual form. A constant across decades and disciplines, he remains a defining figure in the evolution of ocean culture.
