What are the best kitesurfing brands for beginners?

For beginner kitesurfers, Duotone, Cabrinha, North and Naish are the most recommended brands because of their stable flight characteristics and beginner-friendly designs. These brands offer kites that forgive mistakes and deliver predictable performance. Complete kit costs €2,000-€3,500 new, but flexible subscriptions starting at €25/month make premium brands accessible without a big investment. The right kit size depends on weight and wind conditions: 65-80kg kitesurfers usually need a 9-11m kite. Core, Slingshot and Ventum are also excellent budget-friendly alternatives that offer reliable performance for beginning kitesurfers.
