I have been using the Cabrinha bar for awhile now. I like it allot. However, it does not float. My understanding is that they have now added line floats to take care of the oversight. Here is a link to a Cabrinha Forum where you can get any product questions answered definitely:

As a basic bar, I like their design. I like the offset ends for one thing. Provides better safety for your hands and also secures the outside lines much better than the slip knot around the bar that some other brands use. I also like the center lines loop not going through the bar. I had problems with the Naish bar clogging with sand and causing problems that actually became dangerous. With Cabrinha's big eyed externally mounted fitting has worked perfectly for me. If they don't supply line floats, you can install Airush line floats very inexpensively.

Although I like this bar allot, when I upgrade to my next bar, it will likely be the new S2 Lock-In Bar by Stage Two. This bar has everything including cruise control!
