Our Story
SALTBOX represents Pete Cabrinha’s lifelong dedication to surfing and the arts. A journey that has gained him personal success and worldwide acclaim. International awards in surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing have put Pete into an exclusive list of world-class water sports athletes.
Pete’s extraordinary connection to the ocean has fueled his parallel life as an artist. Throughout his career, Pete has pursued the arts with vigor and curiosity. He has paired his technical photography skills with his off-center painting techniques to capture the essence of a life lived in and out of the Hawaiian waters.
Pete’s lifestyle as a professional water sports athlete/artist and founder of Cabrinha® allows him to navigate life with one foot in the sand and one foot in the studio. He is continually inspired – not only by the ocean and the people of his Hawaiian birthplace but by the rich cultural traditions of the world. This dynamic lends a unique flair to his mixed media artworks.
