Drifter 2018 Kite

A steady and responsive kite for kitesurfing by Cabrinha. The Drifter is crafted for riding the waves and freestyle surfing, offering attributes like excellent control and pop.

The Drifter kite incorporates Pure Profile Panels, superior power delivery, and effective Slack line Drift - all features you will appreciate for an enjoyable experience in the waves, allowing you to focus on the waves themselves rather than the kite’s position in the sky, thanks to consistent pull and power for your tricks and cutbacks.

Key Features:

• 1X Security

Activating the 1X security system instantly cuts the kite's power, allowing it to rest quietly on the water or land.

• Dynamic Arc

This feature provides the kite with two distinct arc shapes. It adopts one arc while airborne and another when resting on the water, enhancing its relaunch ease by allowing a slight spread.

• High Tenacity Dacron

The material employed by Cabrinha significantly contributes to maintaining the structure while battling deformation during flight, also helping reduce elongation for more precise and predictable kites.

• Onshore/Offshore

The Drifter kites include this integrated technology. The offshore setting enhances performance when surfing in side shore and offshore winds, improving upwind capability for easier cutbacks in offshore winds. The onshore setting optimises performance for surfing in side shore and onshore winds. This adjustment provides ultimate "drift" and tighter turning.

• Power Control

Every "pig tail" connector for the rear lines on the kite has three power settings available. The middle setting is the factory recommendation. Select the knot closest to the kite for increased power. Opt for the knot nearest to the rider for reduced power.

• Pure Profile Panels

Cabininha strategically places panels to deliver the kites with the appropriate and stable aerodynamic profiles. This enhances efficiency, performance, and performance range.

• Skeletal Frame

This feature stabilises the kites while in action, securing their structure and easing re-launching processes.

• Slackline Drift

This technology, present in the Drifter kites, allows the kite to maintain its position and stay airborne longer when the lines become slack, enabling you to concentrate solely on riding the wave.

• Sprint System W/ Airlock

This substantial airlock system enables rapid inflation and swift deflation post-session. Each strut may be locked to preserve your kite frame's rigidity and isolate any unintended strut deflation from the entire kite.
