In the breakaway sector of kitesurfing, there is one kite which hides its technology behind its simplicity. The Drifter’s minimal 3 strut design both hides and illuminates its brilliance. The three well-placed struts keep the profile of the kite intact through constant angle of attack changes while reducing the weight. This lightweight, but durable, kite is dedicated to surf, yet it shines as a freestyle kite for wakeskating, skimboarding or flat water freestyle. While surfing hooked or unhooked the Drifter makes the most of its excellent slack line drift ability. Slack line drift is the kite’s ability to stay aloft even when the lines are temporarily slackened by depowering. But the Drifter’s main beauty lies in its simplicity. Cabrinha has pushed the complicated technology into the background so that all you have to think about is how you’re going to tear apart the next wave. Features: • Surf=specific 3 strug design • Excellent slack line drift • High depower • Stable and direct feel • Simplified bridle • Squared off wing-tips for increased stability • Quicklink control system with IDS • Sprint single point rapid inflation technology Characteristics: • Direct and responsive steering = FAST • Sits further aft / back in the window • Enhanced slack line drift • Static balance • Excellent re-launch • Light overall weight: 3 struts / Reduced Dacron • Thin profile • Enhanced durability Hybrid Kite Advantages • Rapid depower • Quick turning • Stable arc design KITE TECHNICAL TERMS Dyna-Arc The Dyna-arc retains its shape in the air, but opens up while sitting in the water. The dynamic arc found in the Drifter and Vector kites provide a noticeable increase in re-launch and direct turning speed. IDS A system which was first developed by Cabrinha and has become the industry’s gold standard in security. IDS is a simplified bridle and control system exclusive to all Cabrinha kites. IDS provides 3 stage security. Improved Canopy Material Cabrinha's 2012 canopy material is on the cutting edge of woven material technology. First, fully dipped in stabilizing resins and then additionally coated with a special new formula providing stable, yet durable finish. Maintaining a very low bias elongation and high tear strength for maximum kite performance you can feel. Super stable, yet subtle enough to withstand the elements of nature and daily abuse. Reduced Weight Transitional canopy materials have been substituted in key areas and large areas of Dacron have been removed to reduce the overall weight of the Drifter and Vector kite by 1 kilogram. Also used in the Crossbow LW kites. SPRINT SPRINT is Cabrinha’s Single Point Rapid Inflation Technology that allows you to inflate the kite from a single point quickly and easily. Stainless Steel Bridle Guides Non mechanical pulley guide with no moving parts. It is far superior in strength to a standard pulley of the same size.
