Is there such thing as the perfect quiver?

Riding Tips
14 Oct 2017

In general, for most people 2 kites will cover the basic needs to get out on the water. As time passes and depending on what you are doing a 3-4 kite set up will help fine tune every session.

Finally made the decision to invest into yourself and get a kite quiver to develop your passion and get on the water, though, you are now stuck on what to purchase! Is there such thing as the perfect quiver?

Anyone who tells you X, Y and Z is the perfect all around quiver might be innocently misguiding you. The perfect quiver doesn’t exist per say… everyone's local conditions, needs, budget and demands are different.

There is still hope though!

Purchasing the perfect quiver for yourself can be guided by these general questions though you can go much more in-depth and technical.

#1 What is your budget? This will help determine what is in the actual realm of possibilities for you! Whether you must go second hand, new or how much of a wind range you can cover?

#2 Common conditions where you plan to kite? Average wind speed, choppy or flat, river.

#3 Skill level.

#4 How often are you trying to get out on the water? Are you trying to go any day the wind blows no matter what or only when it is 20+ knots only?

#5  Do you generally prefer riding slightly under power / powered or powered / overpowered?

#6 Do you want to focus on only landing new wakestyle tricks or going for wave/surf session or riding around or trying hydrofoil or maybe

What board style and size to choose and whether to get a surfboard or foil will as well depend on your preference and kite goals!

What does your quiver look like and is it the perfect quiver for you?
