The Contra 1 Strut has quickly garnered a reputation as one of the best kites for lightwind freeriding and has proven a versatile addition to any kite quiver. With its single strut design, this
light and nimble kite allows the use of much smaller sizes to maximize foil-boardings true potential. Featherweight control and amazing drift characteristics allow for low angles of attack while on foil, and the rear line tension increases steering impulse even when depowered. This dynamic kite design will put an optimized Contra light wind kite in your hands whether you ride a twin tip, surfboard, or a foil board.
FEATURES:
• Lightweight 1-strut design
• Heavy duty closing seam construction
• Nano Ripstop Canopy
• High Tenacity Dacron
• Strategic canopy reinforcements in high stress areas
• Pure Profile Panels
• Agile and nimble steering
• Superior drift characteristics
• Effortless relaunch in the lightest wind conditions
2022 Drifter
It’s in the name!
Drift Stability is a term that was created and defined by this kite, and is often used by other brands but rarely duplicated. The worlds most iconic surf kite gives the rider the ultimate ability to quickly control the on off switch of the power, giving the ultimate versatility to either use the kites power, or the waves. The onshore / offshore setting allows riders to fine tune to the conditions on the day while allowing strapless freestyle riders to tweak the forward drive of the kite enabling more explosive tricks and loftier jumps.

KEY FEATURES
NEW CERAMIC PULLEY: Made from Zirconia, the new ceramic pulley provides the ultimate in simplicity, safety and impact resistance with reduced wear characteristics.
OFFSHORE / ONSHORE: Choose between 2 Leading Edge options to optimize performance in a wide spectrum of conditions. The Onshore setting provides a maximum amount of drift and tighter turning. The Offshore setting facilitates better upwind ability allowing for easier cutbacks in offshore wind.
SLACKLINE DRIFT: The secret behind every Drifter that has become iconic in the industry. Focus on the wave, while your kite ‘Drifts’ effortlessly down the line.
BOMBER CONSTRUCTION: Like with any Cabrinha kite, the Drifter comes packed with features to give you freedom to push your limits, whether in 1 foot or 10 foot waves.
PURE PROFILE PANELS: Strategically placed panels allow for a seamless and smooth airflow over the most important area of the flying surface, creating an efficient and true to design profile that no others can match.

HIGH TENACITY DACRON: Our Dacron is specifically designed for inflated kite structures. The construction of this material is very warp orientated using ultra high tenacity yarns with an increased thread count to combat elongation in the warp direction under the high inflation pressures. Lower elongation make for a more accurate kite with less deformation while in flight.
NANO RIPSTOP CANOPY: A higher level of performance can only be achieved when the kite’s design properties are supported by a stable and reactive kite material. Nano Ripstop does just that.
CERAMIC PULLEYS: Zirconia (ZrO2 or Zirconium Oxide) is known for its extreme strength and ability to withstand high heats and abrasion, Zirconia is the perfect material for the new Ceramic Pulleys. With no moving parts and built in safety, the new Cabrinha Ceramic Pulley is the next evolutionary step from the Cab Design Works team.
