CABRINHA Drifter Apex 2025

Concept Blue products are our next step towards a better future and an additional element in our Save Our Playgrounds campaign THE NEO GETS A SUSTAINABLE TOUCH FOR 2024; CONCEPT BLUE IS A NEW MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY CONCEPT THAT GIVES YOU THE SAME GREAT KITE AND PERFORMANCE YOU HAVE COME TO EXPECT IN THE WAVES, COUPLED WITH MORE ENVIRONMENT-CONSCIOUS MATERIALS. The Neo has been synonymous with wave-riding excellence from its inception. Now, in 2024, the Neo Concept Blue embodies our unwavering commitment to versatile, high-performance wave riding. This year's version introduces an enhanced wingtip shape and construction, improving the handling both on the wave and for strapless tricks. Moreover, the new kite incorporates the groundbreaking Concept Blue, utilising undyed fabrics to reduce water and chemical usage, a bio-based bladder, and recycled plastic components, further underlining our dedication to sustainability.  The refinements don't stop there. The Neo Concept Blue’s construction incorporates an increased area of Trinity TX in the wingtip region, effectively reducing weight without compromising durability. This innovation facilitates exceptional drifting capabilities, perfect for riding down the line. Additionally, the kite's overall profile receives an update, featuring a slightly deeper centre profile and a moderately deeper profile towards the tips. These modifications enhance the kite's low-end power and allow for precise wingtip loading, resulting in highly responsive steering. These improvements make the Neo Concept Blue a standout choice for wave-riding enthusiasts, delivering lightning-fast turns and unmatched drift. Its popularity in the wave kite market is well-earned. Versatility remains at the forefront, thanks to multiple settings on the tips that enable you to fine-tune the kite's performance based on the day's conditions. Whether you're embarking on a flatwater strapless freestyle session or conquering the waves, the Neo Concept Blue can be customized for maximum pop and powerful loops or optimized for exceptional drift and rapid turning speed. Another remarkable feature of the Neo Concept Blue is its consistent power delivery across the entire wind range. Abundant low-end power allows you to choose a smaller, more dynamic size, elevating your overall performance. Simultaneously, the Neo Concept Blue offers an extensive upper range with generous depower, allowing you to extend your time on the water even as conditions change.   With a host of updates and upgrades for 2024, the new Neo Concept Blue sets the bar high, both in terms of performance and sustainability. This class-leading wave kite continues to push boundaries, and all you have to do is get a launch and join the party.      

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.   3-strut, moderate aspect ratio hybrid design.
