Cabrinha Launches 2027 Drifter Apex Kite and S-Quad Surfboard

Cabrinha has launched its 2027 Drifter Apex surf kite and the S-Quad performance surfboard. Both products are designed for control in powerful surf conditions. The Drifter Apex is a three-strut, moderate-aspect-ratio kite intended for dedicated performance surf and strapless-freestyle. Its design focuses on slack-line drift, fast steering, and predictable handling, allowing riders to prioritize wave riding. The 2027 model incorporates an Ultra HT Dacron airframe and Teijin D2 canopy. It features a Vert-X adjustable bridle, making it compatible with Cabrinha's Unify High-Y or Low-V configurations. The Drifter Apex is available in sizes ranging from 5 to 11 metres. The S-Quad surfboard is engineered for fast, powerful waves, emphasizing grip, drive, and rail-to-rail control. It includes a high entry rocker for steeper wave faces and a double-in-single concave bottom with a quad-fin setup for maintaining speed. The board utilizes Cabrinha's Apex Pro Carbon surf layup for light weight and responsiveness. Footstrap inserts offer an option for strapped wave riding. The 5'7" S-Quad, with a 23-litre volume, targets intermediate to advanced riders seeking aggressive performance in shoulder-high and larger surf.
