2027 Drifter Apex

The kite that defined a category. The Drifter has always been the go-to choice for riders looking for a no-compromise surf kite.
Designed for performance surf and strapless freestyle, the Drifter boasts class-leading slack-line drift, fast, reactive steering, and predictable handling, allowing you to focus on the wave rather than the kite.

Whether you're carving down the line, attacking the lip, or throwing strapless tricks, the Drifter delivers the confidence and control needed to take your riding to the next level.

Built with Ultra HT Dacron, Teijin D2 canopy material, and the latest Airframe Inflation System, the Drifter offers a lightweight yet incredibly stable platform with smooth power delivery and responsive steering.

The addition of the Vert-X Bridle provides even greater versatility, allowing riders to choose between the Unify High-Y or Low-V configuration to tailor the kite's handling characteristics to their personal preference.

From clean point breaks to onshore wind swell, from kite foiling to strapless freestyle, the Drifter remains the ultimate choice for riders who demand uncompromising drift, precision, and control in every session.

The Drifter Apex is for the rider looking for the ultimate in surf kite design, or a fun recreational kite foiling option that goes downwind with ease thanks to its incredible slack-line drift.

For kiters looking to get into surf kiting, the Drifter Apex provides industry-leading bar feel and maneuverability, allowing the rider to focus on the board and the waves. Those same characteristics give advanced surf riders the confidence to take their kite out in a wider range of conditions or push their strapless freestyle riding.

Versus Standard Moto Apex:

While the Moto Apex is an all-round kite, it sits further forward in the wind window, making it less suited to slack-line drift where you can park the kite and ride towards it. For strapless tricks, the Drifter has less aggressive vertical pull, allowing you to keep the board on your feet and maintain greater control.
