Cabrinha – Drifter

The Cabrinha Drifter 2023 kite has proven itself to be the world’s most iconic surf kite in recent years. It is the ultimate wave kite on the market and the favorite of amazing riders like the legend Keahi De Aboitiz, who can handle the Drifter with ease. With a slightly lighter bar pressure, the kite provides direct responsiveness so that you always know where it is. You let the kite pull you into the wave, park it, and then surf the wave without worrying about the kite. The kite literally “drifts” effortlessly down the line. Of course, every wave is different, but thanks to Cabrinha’s fast on-demand depower, you can always stay in the right place and enjoy to the fullest. The Cabrinha Drifter 2023 has two different options, namely an onshore and offshore mode. The onshore mode provides maximum drift and sharper turns, while the offshore mode provides improved upwind capabilities, allowing you to maximize the offshore wind. The Cabrinha Drifter 2023 kite is a great choice for strapless kiters and even hydrofoilers thanks to its light weight, quick steering, and friendly gradual pull through turns. Beginner kiters should also not be forgotten. The Drifter has a large wind range and is easy to relaunch from the water. The Drifter 2023 also makes upwind sailing as easy as possible. Both beginner and advanced kiters will undoubtedly enjoy endless playtime on the water with this iconic kite. New for 2023 is the personalized frame for the Cabrinha Drifter 2023. Cabrinha has released three different frame constructions for 2023, each with its own unique characteristics. The Cabrinha Drifter is made with the so-called Lite Frame, which combines the benefits of the proven HTD Lite Dacron with the refined canopy design. HTD Lite Dacron is very lightweight and ultra-stiff, which ensures that the kite remains stable in the air even in the most gusty conditions. This high-performance frame makes the Cabrinha Drifter 2023 the lightest and fastest kite to date. This lightweight frame increases the wind range and all the performance of the Drifter, but of course with the Drifter’s character that we have been accustomed to for years. The canopy is made of Nano Ripstop Canopy, a very durable and strong fabric that provides maximum stability and responsiveness. The new Bi-direction Pure Profile Panels provide the smoothest and best 3D shape of the canopy to create the most round and aerodynamic kite possible. Durable TPU bumpers have been added around the leading edge to absorb hard impacts and crashes, so that you can enjoy your Cabrinha Drifter 2023 for as long as possible!
