FORCE'S FEEDBACK
The Drifter has one of the best, longest-standing reputations as a top performing wave kite. Hence the name, the Drifter drifts predictably so you can focus on more on the wave and less on wear the kite is. With the new Apex construction, the Drifter is lighter and faster with more instant response. With less input spent at the bar, you can quickly position the Drifter where you want it in the window before your downwind turns. If you want to truly experience kitesurfing with a wave-specific kite, the Drifter is the way to go.

DESCRIPTION FROM CABRINHA
The benchmark in surf.
For over a decade, the Drifter has defined what it means to ride waves with freedom. Unmatched down-the-line drift, lightning-fast response, and effortless control have made it the reference point for anyone chasing the perfect wave.
For 2026, that legacy continues. Built with the upgraded Airframe inflation system and with refined construction throughout, the Drifter is smoother, stronger, and more consistent than ever before.
While its DNA is rooted in surf, the 2026 Drifter pushes beyond the wave. With exceptional pop, predictable bar feel, and confidence inspiring landings, it’s also become a favorite for strapless freestyle progression taking riders to the top of the podium.
From barrels to big airs, full rail hacks to strapless rotations, the Drifter is the ultimate tool for riders who want to surf, fly, and freestyle without compromise.
