Buying your own equipment is a big and exciting step in your kiteboarding journey. To help you make the right choices and invest your money wisely, we created this Equipment Buyer’s Guide.

  • Should you buy brand new gear or go for second-hand? (Pros and cons)
  • What do you need to pay attention to when buying second-hand equipment? (Checklist with pictures)
  • What equipment to buy according to each riding style: freeride, wave riding, freestyle/wakestyle, racing, hydrofoil.
  • Which size of kite is the best? (Size to wind speed according to rider’s weight chart)
  • Should you go with an LEI or Foil kite?
  • Should you buy a seat or a waist harness?
  • What about helmets, buoyancy vest, impact vest and other accessories?
