Cabrinha Drifter
The Drifter is Cabrinha's dedicated wave kite, designed to drift (the clue is in the name) down the line and allow you to concentrate on riding the wave. It's a firm favourite with the team here at the mag, and it's a great kite to ride. The kite is a three-strut, moderate aspect ratio hybrid design with a simple short...

Cabrinha Moto XL Apex
Threshold winds pose a significant challenge for kite designers.

However, the Moto XL Apex kite, built on the successful Moto X platform and incorporating materials from the Apex Series, strikes the perfect balance...
Cabrinha Nitro Apex

James Boulding and the Cabrinha team take a different approach to the annual photoshoot. Kitesurfing is about diversity; it always has been. Regardless of the current love-in with Big Air, the sport encompasses so much more. From foiling to wave riding and everything in between, it’s not always about the biggest jump of your life or the most remote location where you can take a photo that’s never been seen before. Sometimes, it’s about getting back to the sports roots. Sharing memories with great friends and well-trodden spots that still deliver the goods.
Issue 108

Autumn is officially upon us here in the north—cooler air, vibrant colors, and, thankfully, a break from lawn mowing!

This issue, we kick things off with the classic front roll—an exhilarating, must-learn move that opens the door to endless possibilities.
