For strapless tricks the Drifter has less quick vertical pull upwards, which allows you to keep the board on your feet and in control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersus Duotone Neo:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBoth kites are wave specific designs, but one of the fundamental differences in how the kite flies downwind when on a wave in sideshore conditions. With the Neo the rider tends to have to fly the kite constantly through the wind window to maintain line tension, but with the Drifter you can set the kite in the place you wants and ride towards it, leaving you with the ability to more naturally surf the wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:                                              \u003c\/strong\u003e5m | 6m      | 7m      | 8m      | 9m     | 10m    | 11m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWind Range (75kg rider): \u003c\/strong\u003e21-36 | 19-34 | 17-33 | 16-32 | 14-30 | 13-28 | 12-27\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Without Bag (kg):      \u003c\/strong\u003e1.9 | 2.065  | 2.254 | 2.454 | 2.65    | 2.867 | 3.02\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cabrinha","offers":[{"title":"5m \/ C3","offer_id":41840808820869,"sku":"2027Drifter-5-C3","price":1419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5m \/ C4","offer_id":41840807411845,"sku":"2027Drifter-5-C4","price":1419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6m \/ C3","offer_id":41840808853637,"sku":"2027Drifter-6-C3","price":1509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6m \/ C4","offer_id":41840807542917,"sku":"2027Drifter-6-C4","price":1509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7m \/ C3","offer_id":41840808886405,"sku":"2027Drifter-7-C3","price":1589.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7m \/ C4","offer_id":41840807673989,"sku":"2027Drifter-7-C4","price":1589.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8m \/ C3","offer_id":41840808919173,"sku":"2027Drifter-8-C3","price":1679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8m \/ C4","offer_id":41840807805061,"sku":"2027Drifter-8-C4","price":1679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9m \/ C3","offer_id":41840808951941,"sku":"2027Drifter-9-C3","price":1769.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9m \/ C4","offer_id":41840807936133,"sku":"2027Drifter-9-C4","price":1769.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10m \/ C3","offer_id":41840808984709,"sku":"2027Drifter-10-C3","price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10m \/ C4","offer_id":41840808067205,"sku":"2027Drifter-10-C4","price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11m \/ C3","offer_id":41840809017477,"sku":"2027Drifter-11-C3","price":1939.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11m \/ C4","offer_id":41840808198277,"sku":"2027Drifter-11-C4","price":1939.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0292\/9154\/4709\/files\/Drifter2.jpg?v=1788877049","url":"https:\/\/greenhatkiteboarding.com\/products\/2027-cabrinha-drifter-apex-kiteboarding-kite","provider":"Green Hat Kiteboarding","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
