This high depower kite allows the rider to drop in, accelerate, then dump the power SWITCHBLADE completely to snap or carve their turns. It delivers a perfect blend of the best elements of surfing and kitesurfing. The Drifter’s special design allows it to drift downwind and stay aloft even when the...
