MAC's Take: 

Optimized for riders taking on the swells or playing hard with a foil, the Cabrinha Drifter is the ultimate surf kite. Light bar pressure allows for super fast loops and responsive steering, allowing you to cycle through the waves or play catch-up with your foil. Pair that with the unbeatable level of drift you'll get from this kite and you've got an epic tool for excelling in the swells.

The Drifter is pretty darn self-explanatory, to be honest. Need a kite that's great in the surf with plenty of ability to play well with a foil? Look no further! While the Drifter may not be the most powerful kite in the game (rides a half size or so underpowered), it's absolutely fantastic for its ability to turn the power on and off like a light switch. 

This kite also has the capacity for either onshore or offshore settings by changing your bridle; this really adds to the flexibility and tuneability of the kite. Plays well in all conditions! 

FEATURES

NEW CERAMIC PULLEY

Made from Zirconia, the new ceramic pulley provides the ultimate in simplicity, safety and impact resistance with reduced wear characteristics.

OFFSHORE / ONSHORE

Offshore / Onshore - Choose between 2 Leading Edge options to optimise performance in a wide spectrum of conditions. The Onshore setting provides a maximum amount of drift and tighter turning. The Offshore setting facilitates better upwind ability allowing for easier cutbacks in offshore wind.

SLACKLINE DRIFT

The secret behind every Drifter that has become iconic in the industry. Focus on the wave, while your kite ‘Drifts’ effortlessly down the line.

BOMBER CONSTRUCTION

Like with any Cabrinha kite, the Drifter comes packed with features to give you freedom to push your limits, whether in 1 foot or 10 foot waves.

PURE PROFILE PANELS

Strategically placed panels allow for a seamless and smooth airflow over the most important area of the flying surface, creating an efficient and true to design profile that no others can match.

RAPID POWER CONTROL

No wave is the same, and the on demand rapid depower and power of the Drifter allows you to stay in the right place, or get to where you need to be.

TECH

HIGH TENACITY DACRONHIGH TENACITY DACRON

Cabrinha's Dacron is specifically designed for inflated kite structures. The construction of this material is very warp orientated using ultra high tenacity yarns with an increased thread count to combat elongation in the warp direction under the high inflation pressures. Lower elongation make for a more accurate kite with less deformation while in flight.

Nano Ripstop CanopyNANO RIPSTOP CANOPY

A higher level of performance can only be achieved when the kite's design properties are supported by a stable and reactive kite material. Nano Ripstop does just that.

NEW Ceramic Pulleys CERAMIC PULLEYS

Zirconia (ZrO2 or Zirconium Oxide) is known for its extreme strength and ability to withstand high heats and abrasion. Zirconia is the perfect material for the new Ceramic Pulleys. With no moving parts and built in safety, the new Cabrinha Ceramic Pulley is the next evolutionary step from the Cab Design Works team.

    8 meter Drifter

    Responsive, quick turning wave kite with two different settings for onshore and side shore to increase drift or better upwind ability. Love the reactive feel with very controlled bar response.

    great kite! works great for hydrofoiling thanks to the great drift it has and of course it kills on wave riding as well

    Great kite. Turns fast, easy relaunch and drifts/floats like no other. If you’re on the hunt for a surf specific kite this is one of the best.
