Hi Guys,
We see hundreds of people getting into the sport each year and it's always the same. It's hard justifying the few hundred for lessons, then they scratch around a buy an old second hand kite for a couple of hundred and you hear all the stories about how they dont want to spend much money.
Then, you meet them on the beach a year later with a quiver of three latest kites and two boards, they've changed careers to facilitate more time on the water, have changed cars to fit all the equipment in, and have dumped their girlfriend because they were put on the spot with the "It's either kiting or me" line..... and their still kiting!
They seem pretty happy and it gives me a good laugh too
Honestly, don't buy gear more than 2 years old at the oldest, preferably buy gear to suit your level, or rent beginner gear from us, do your practice and then buy further up the performance chain with knowledge at skill.
Good second hand beginner gear is like gold and it rarely hits the forum 4 sale pages, it sells long before then.
Have a great summer peeps, the wind is in already!
