Der Drifter ist der weltweit legendärste Surfkite – und das aus gutem Grund. Wie der Name schon sagt: Er ist der Inbegriff von Driftstabilität. Ein Terminus, der auch bei anderen Marken oft auftaucht, in dieser Form aber kaum erreicht wird. Er lässt sich mühelos und schnell an- bzw. depowern – je nachdem, ob du gerade Kiteunterstützung brauchst oder die Welle abreitest.

 

 

3-strut, moderate aspect ratio hybrid design, surf/drift win tip design, 2 bridle setting options.

KEY FEATURES

LIGHT BAR PRESSURE

Direct and responsive steering.

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.

HIGH TENACITY DACRON

Our 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 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.
