We also sat down with Cabrinha head honcho Jon Modica for an in-depth chat about how things have been going since he took over the brand a few years ago. The Eleveight team got cosy on a catamaran in the Mediterranean; did they get seasick? Find out here. Rou chats with Leo Koenig, the founder and CEO of WOO Sports for Intriguing Beings.
