Essentials to take on a kite trip!

20 Jul 2019

Many of you will be taking a kite trip this year and we wanted to remind you some tips of the essentials to bring on the trip. These essentials are needed basically on every kite trip.

When you are about to embark on your kite trip, apart from your regular equipment of kite, bar, kite leash, harness, line cutter, board, pump and wetsuit if it applies we have some recommendations.

Extra essentials:

  • Impact vest and helmet

  • Extra kite and bar

  • Sunscreen, hat, lycra and sunglasses

  • Extra screws + screwdriver + surf fin key

  • Water bottles and healthy snacks

  • If with a surfboard bring extra: wax, set of fins, and surfboard repair kit. If you are doing a long international surf trip-consider bringing two boards especially if it is a remote location

  • Buy a good travel insurance and make extra photocopies of all your important documents and take a picture of them and save them in your email/personal cloud

  • Travel medical kit

These are the essentials we recommend you bringing when going on a kite trip to be fully prepared! Did we miss anything? What else would you bring on your trip?
