Description
Description
The Cabrinha Drifter Kite - 2018 is a proven choice for riders who want a proper wave kite rather than a do-everything freeride compromise. It was built around drift, control and smooth power delivery, which is exactly why the Drifter has remained such a respected name for surf, strapless riding and real-world coastal sessions.
If your priority is riding the wave properly rather than constantly managing the kite, the Drifter makes a lot of sense. It sits where you want it, depowers cleanly, and gives a more natural feeling when you are carving, slashing or riding down the line. It is also a very good option for freeriders who like a lighter, smoother kite feel rather than something aggressive or boost-led.
Where it sits in the range
The Drifter sits on the surf and drift side of Cabrinha’s kite lineup. Choose it if your sessions are built around waves, onshore surf, strapless freeride or a more controlled feel in messy coastal conditions. If your main goal is huge jumps, hangtime or all-round freeride with a stronger boost bias, a more crossover-oriented kite from our kitesurfing kites collection may suit you better.
Why choose the 2018 Drifter?
- Excellent drift when riding towards the kite on a wave
- Smooth, progressive power delivery that feels easy to manage
- Direct steering without an overly heavy feel at the bar
- Strong option for strapless freeride and surf-focused riding
- A reassuring choice for riders who value control over drama

FAQs
Is the Drifter only for wave riders?
No. It is designed first and foremost for surf and drift, but plenty of riders also like it for strapless freeride and for a smoother, more forgiving feel on the water.
Is this a boosting kite?
Not really. The Drifter can still freeride well, but its real strength is drift, control and wave use rather than big-air performance.
Does this come with a bar?
No. Treat this as a kite-only listing unless a control bar is clearly stated elsewhere.
