Cabrinha Drifter Apex 2025 White/Orange

The Drifter, as the name suggests, was created to offer unparalleled drift. It performs fantastically in the wave on directional boards, allowing you to focus on riding the wave rather than steering the kite. The 3-strut design offers excellent stability that riders of all levels will appreciate. Apex technology ensures lightweight and durable construction.
 
The name that has always been the benchmark for anyone who rides moving walls of water, has just undergone one of it’s biggest updates to date. The Drifter now comes in the APEX Design!

With it’s main attribute being in it’s name, Cabrinha set forth on a task to see what Cabrinha can do to take the lessons learned on the Apex kites, and give the Drifter it’s next big evolutionary jump.

The shorter wingtip section allowed Pat Goodman to make far more efficient use of the usable canopy area, allowing the tips to be far more efficient when turning. Adding to this is the introduction of the Ultra HT and Teijin D2 materials to make this the highest performing Drifter kite Cabrinha has ever produced.

Whether you're charging down the line getting ready to pull in, looking for the next section to hit or throwing freestyle tricks on flat water, the Drifter is the ultimate product to add to your quiver.

Design profile:

3-strut, moderate aspect ratio hybrid design. Surf/drift wing tip design.
 
While this kite could be seen as being made out of standard materials, you will quickly forget that when you put it in the air.  Sharing many of the same features as the other Moto X kites, such as Pure Form Panels and ISC.  This kite is a one stop ticket to some of the best times you will have on the water.
