2025 Cabrinha Drifter Apex Kiteboarding Kite

The name that has always been the benchmark for anyone who rides moving walls of water, has just undergone one of its biggest updates to date.

With its main attribute being in its name, we set forth on a task to see what we can do to take the lessons learnt on the Apex kites, and give the Drifter its 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 we have 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.
