Kiteboard Gear

Get Your Kite Ready in No Time

Kitesurfing is an exhilarating, fast-paced water sport. While kiteboard equipment is crafted from top-quality, durable materials, eventually you'll need to replace or upgrade parts that have worn out. It’s wise to have some spare kiteboard gear on hand before anything breaks, and always carry spare parts with you to the coast for any urgent repairs.

Within this category, you’ll typically find kitesurfing equipment such as bladders and reinforcement fibres. Having an extra valve is also advisable. Over time, all valves will start to leak and degrade, so ensure you have a backup ready.

Some brands provide a comprehensive repair kit, which contains everything necessary in one convenient package.

The Mechanics of a Kite Pump

Though it may not be the most thrilling task, every kitesurfer must inflate their kite before heading into the water. Manual pumps remain the most prevalent option, but numerous models allow you to alternate between single and double-stroke inflation. This feature lets you easily switch from high-volume, low-pressure inflation to low-volume, high-pressure inflation.

When considering your pump, look for one with a gauge on top to monitor the psi during inflation. Moreover, many kite kits include a variety of nozzles, ensuring there's one to fit your valve.

If you’re seeking a way to organise all of your gear, a practical solution is acquiring a Surf Bag.
