Is renting a kiteset cheaper than buying?

For beginning kitesurfers who spend less than 30 days a year on the water, renting a kiteset is often more economical than buying. A complete new set costs €2,500-4,500 plus annual maintenance costs of €200-400, while renting starts from €17 per month. Hidden costs such as maintenance, repairs and storage can make ownership more expensive by €500-1,000 per year. Renting offers access to premium brands without a large investment and flexibility to try out different kites. Find out which option best suits your kitesurfing style.
