The Project
The Drifter Project is an inspiring collaboration between Cabrinha and Estuary Brewing, created to introduce individuals facing unique physical and mental health challenges to the life-changing world of watersports.
The initiative launched with a successful first event in Charleston, South Carolina, and a more recent event in Miami, where participants spent an unforgettable day on the water learning alongside Cabrinha athletes and staff, sharing in the excitement, freedom, and community that watersports can bring.
To help support the project, Estuary Brewing created the limited-edition ‘Drifter’ Coast to Coast Lager, with proceeds helping to fund future experiences and expand the reach of the initiative.
This is just the beginning, with additional events and opportunities currently being planned as the project continues to grow.
The Drifter Project is built on a shared belief in the power of adventure, connection, and accessibility—and aims to open the door for more people to experience the freedom that watersports can offer.

Kent Marinkovic, Cabrinha CEO & Scott Harrison, Estuary Brewing CEO explain the concept and how it all came about:
Moving to live right by the waters edge in North-East Brazil, top Cabrinha athlete Fernando Fernandes has played an instrumental role together with the Cabrinha R&D team in the design of new equipment that is specifically designed for adaptive kiteboarding. He explains what Kitesurfing means to him and the significant role it plays in his life now for keeping healthy both physically and mentally:
First Event - Charleston, South Carolina
The first event of the Drifter Project was held in Charleston, SC where some of Cabrinha's top athletes joined to lay on a weekend of Watersports tuition. With ideal conditions for their first steps into kiteboarding and wingsurfing it was an epic day of progression for all the participants.
