Check Out The 2025 CABRINHA Drifter Apex At S2AS!

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.

ULTRA HT

Developed exclusively for kite leading edges, this is a strong, stable, and exceptionally responsive material. Ultra HT reduces the weight of the leading edge and struts while boasting incredibly low elongation and response. A unique and proprietary coating process increases durability and performance unlike anything you have felt before.

 

 

Teijin D2 Ripstop Canopy

Engineered to provide a lightweight material with exceptional bias control and recovery, the Teijin D2 Material works hand in hand with the Ultra HT material on the Apex kites to provide the next level in performance and reactivity.

 

 

BULLET PROOF BUMPERS

These new Durable TPU bumpers are strong, lightweight and durable. They crossover protecting the canopy to LE sewing. A new manufacturing process helps with abrasion when the kite is resting on a hard surface.

 

 

SPRINT 3.0

The Sprint 3.0 inflation system increases air flow from leading edge to the strut. The straight and angled valves allow for no kinking of the inflation tube. It's secure fit design also allows for easy maintenance.

The newly redesigned Drifter is faster, more responsive, and lighter in weight...all ideal qualities for a wave kite. Pat's design changes also allowed a larger range for the kite which was something I personally feel puts the Drifter Apex in a different class from any wave kite in the market. - Jon Modica
