Kite surfing, also known as kite boarding, is a thrilling water sport that combines aspects of wakeboarding, surfing, windsurfing, paragliding, and skateboarding. Kite surfers use the power of the wind to propel themselves across the water on a small surfboard, performing jumps, tricks, and riding waves. This sport is a favorite among many wind sport enthusiasts, and it’s not hard to see why!

Kite surfing can be an incredibly dangerous sport if the proper precautions are not taken. That’s why it’s so important to invest in the right equipment and to take lessons from a certified instructor. At Wind Spirit, we offer a great selection of kitesurfing equipment and accessories from some of the best brands in the industry. Our selection includes kite surfing kites, boards, and accessories.

 

Kite Surfing Kites

Kite surfing kites are the most essential piece of equipment for kite surfers. Without a kite, there’s no way to harness the power of the wind and propel yourself across the water. Kite surfing kites differ from traditional kites in that they are specifically designed to provide the lift and power needed to propel a rider across the water. They are also designed to be easily relaunched from the water, in case you crash your kite.

When it comes to kite surfing, there are two different types of kites: LEI (Leading Edge Inflatable) kites, and foil kites. LEI kites are the most popular type of kite surfing kite, and they are the best option for beginners. Foil kites are a great option for more advanced riders, as they are typically faster and more efficient than LEI kites. However, they can also be more challenging to relaunch from the water, making them a less safe option for beginners.

 

Beginner Kites

We recommend starting with an LEI kite. LEI kites are the easiest and safest option for beginners, as they are easy to relaunch from the water and they require less maintenance than foil kites.

 

Intermediate Kites

As you progress in your kite surfing journey, you may want to upgrade to a more advanced kite. Intermediate kites are designed to provide a bit more power and lift than beginner kites, allowing you to go faster and higher. However, they are also designed to be more stable and easy to control than advanced kites, making them a great option for riders who are still developing their skills.

Our selection of kite surfing kites includes a variety of kites for all skill levels. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced rider, you’re sure to find the perfect kite in our selection. Our kites come in a variety of sizes, so you can choose the size that is best suited to the wind conditions in your area.
 

Advanced Kites

Advanced kites are designed for more experienced riders who are looking to perform advanced tricks and maneuvers. Advanced kites are typically smaller and more responsive than beginner and intermediate kites, allowing riders to loop the kite through the air and generate more speed and power. However, with that being said, it’s important to note that the rider is the one who is in control of the power. It’s also important to note that advanced kites can be more dangerous, as they require more skill to control.

 

Kite Surfing Boards

In addition to a kite, you’ll also need a kite surfing board. Kite surfing boards, also known as kiteboards, come in a variety of different styles, each with its own unique characteristics. The two main styles of kite surfing boards are directional boards and twin tip boards. There is also a third style of board, known as a foil board, which is a great option for riding in light wind conditions.

 

Directional Boards

Directional boards are the original style of kite surfing board. They are similar in shape and design to a surfboard, with the main difference being that they have a foot strap to help you maintain control of the board while riding. Directional boards are great for riding waves, and they are also a great option for riders who have a background in surfing. However, they can be more challenging to ride than twin tip boards, especially for beginners.

Our selection of directional boards includes a variety of options, from classic surfboards to more modern kite surfboards. If you’re looking for a more traditional kite surfing experience, a classic surfboard is a great option.

 

Twin Tip Boards

Twin tip boards are the most popular style of kite surfing board. They are similar in shape to a wakeboard, with the main difference being that they have a symmetrical shape that allows you to ride in both directions. Twin tip boards are great for performing tricks and jumps, and they are also great for riding in a variety of different conditions. The symmetrical shape of twin tip boards makes them easy to ride, and they are a great option for beginners.

At Wind Spirit, we offer a great selection of twin tip boards in a variety of sizes and styles. Our twin tip boards are designed to help you take your kite surfing to the next level, with their lightweight construction and high performance design. Our selection includes twin tip boards from some of the best brands in the industry, including Cabrinha and Duotone.

 

Foil boards

Foil boards, also known as hydrofoil boards, are a special type of kite surfing board that features a mast and hydrofoil wing. The hydrofoil wing lifts the board out of the water, reducing drag and allowing you to ride at faster speeds. 

Foil boards are a great option for riding in light wind conditions, as the hydrofoil wing creates lift with less resistance. They are also a great option for riders who are looking to ride in shallow water, as the hydrofoil wing allows you to ride with the board elevated above the water. 

 

Kite Surfing Accessories

In addition to kites and boards, there are a variety of accessories that are essential for kite surfers. Kite surfing accessories include items like harnesses, spreader bars, kite pumps, and safety gear. Harnesses are used to attach the rider to the kite, control bars are used to steer the kite, and kite pumps are used to inflate the kite. Safety gear is also essential for kite surfers, as it can help to prevent injuries in the event of a crash.

 

Harnesses

Harnesses are worn around the rider’s waist, and they are used to attach the rider to the kite. By attaching yourself to the kite, you can use your body weight to control the kite, allowing you to steer it and generate power. Harnesses are an essential piece of safety equipment for kite surfers, as they allow you to remain attached to the kite in the event of a crash. There are two main types of harnesses: waist harnesses and seat harnesses.

We offer a great selection of kite surfing harnesses from some of the best brands in the industry. Our selection includes harnesses for men and women, in a variety of styles and sizes. Whether you’re looking for a waist harness or a seat harness, you’re sure to find the perfect option in our selection. Our harnesses are designed to provide you with the comfort and support you need to take your kite surfing to the next level.

 

Spreader Bars

Spreader bars are used to steer the kite and control its power. The control bar is connected to the kite by four lines, and it is used to steer the kite left and right. The control bar also has a depower system, which allows you to reduce the power of the kite. Spreader bars are an essential piece of equipment for kite surfers, as they allow you to control the kite and steer it in the direction you want to go.

At Wind Spirit, we offer a great selection of kite surfing spreader bars from some of the best brands in the industry. Our control bars are designed to provide you with the precision and control you need to take your kite surfing to the next level. Our selection includes a variety of control bars in a range of sizes, so you can choose the control bar that is best suited to your kite.

 

Kite Pumps

Kite pumps are used to inflate your kite before you head out on the water. Kite surfing kites are typically made from ripstop nylon, and they are designed to be inflated with air. Inflating your kite is an essential step before you head out on the water, and it’s important to make sure that your kite is properly inflated.

An under-inflated kite will not fly properly, while an over-inflated kite can be damaged by the pressure of the air inside. Kite pumps allow you to easily and quickly inflate your kite to the correct pressure.

 

Leashes

Kite surfing leashes are another essential piece of safety gear for kite surfers. Leashes are used to connect you to your kite, allowing you to retrieve it in the event that you crash or need to release it. Leashes come in a variety of styles, including wrist leashes and board leashes. Wrist leashes are attached to your wrist and are used to connect you to your kite. Board leashes are used to connect your board to your ankle, allowing you to retrieve your board in the event that you become separated from it. At Wind Spirit, we carry a variety of leashes to keep you safe on the water. Shop our selection of leashes online today and stay safe while kite surfing!
