How flexible is renting a kiteset?
Flexible kiteset rental offers kitesurfers the freedom to switch between different kites, boards and accessories each month without being stuck with one set of equipment. Subscription fees of €15-90 per month allow you to adjust your gear to changing wind conditions, your growing skills and seasonal needs. These modern rental models eliminate worries about maintenance, storage and the high initial investment of €3000-5000 for a complete set. Perfect for beginners who want to try out different brands and experienced surfers who always want access to the latest technology without financial risk.
What size kite do you need as a beginner?
As a beginner kitesurfer, choosing the right kite size is crucial to your safety and learning process. Usually you need a kite between 9-12 square meters, with lighter individuals (60-75kg) starting with 9-10m kites and heavier beginners (75-90kg) better off with 11-12m kites. The choice depends on three factors: your body weight, wind conditions and skill level. Kites that are too small do not offer enough power for water starts, while kites that are too large are difficult to control and dangerous. Find out which specific kit size fits your situation perfectly.
