Unsure between buying or renting kitesurfing equipment? This guide compares costs, advantages and disadvantages of both options. Buying costs €2,000-4,000 but pays off with frequent use (50+ days/year), while renting costs €50-80 per day and offers flexibility for beginners. A kitesurfing subscription starting at €17/month combines the best of both worlds: access to premium gear without high purchase costs, including maintenance and insurance. Find out which option best suits your kitesurfing style and budget.
