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.
What is a kitesurf-gear subscription?

Find out how a kitesurf-gear subscription works: pay €15-90 per month for premium gear instead of investing €2000-4000 upfront. With flexible access to top brands like CORE and North, full insurance and worry-free maintenance, you'll make kitesurfing financially predictable. Perfect for beginners who want to try out different gear without big risks, and advanced surfers who always want to use the latest models.
