REVIEW OF THE 2019 CABRINHA DRIFTER
The Kiteboarder Magazine
#LiveFreeRideFree

“Really good drift, pretty fast turning, no uncomfortable pull, was gentle but still had power. This is a great kite for strapless riding, less pull than other wave kites, great drift for turns on a surfboard.” // Kristin Vincenzo

“Super stable in the air, felt quick for its size, and stayed in the air even with slack in the lines. Always knew where the kite was in the sky – could even be a great kite for a beginner.” // Chris Myles

“Steady drift, clean power delivery, playful, lively even in the larger sizes. Stronger bar pressure but smooth power delivery, responsive turning and a consistent pull through turns. Fun nimble and easy to fly.” // Joe Chehock

Have you tried the Cabrinha Fireball bar connection system?

Fireball is the first kite connection system purpose built for kitesurfing from the ground up. Its unique design harnesses the specific forces and movements of kiteboarding, and combines them with ergonomic form factors to create a kite connection which seamlessly translates your body movements into an immediate kite reaction. It instantly upgrades any kite and harness delivering more control, security, and comfort than ever before. #LiveFreeRideFree
