Pete Cabrinha

Pete Cabrinha (born September 13, 1961 on Oahu, Hawaii) is an American big-wave surfer, windsurfer, kitesurfer and artist.

[7] In 1993, Cabrinha and his friends Laird Hamilton, Dave Kalama, Rush Randle, Brett Lickle, Mike Waltze, Mark Angulo, Derrick Doerner, and Buzzy Kerbox started to experiment in big surf on the North Shore of Maui and invented a spin off called tow-surfing.

[9] Foilboarding and wingsurfing are other hybrid surf sports which Cabrinha helped to pioneer and later industrialize.

His mixed media art works combine his photography and graphic design skills with off-center painting techniques.
