Kiteboard Gear
Quickly Repair Your Kite
Kitesurfing is an exhilarating sport performed on water at high speeds. Despite being constructed from quality, robust materials, kiteboard gear will eventually need replacement or enhancement as it wears out. It's wise to possess some spare kiteboard gear before it fails and always carry extra parts to the seaside for urgent repairs.
This category typically offers kitesurfing gear such as bladders and reinforcement fibres. It's advisable to have an additional valve on hand, as all valves will inevitably become leaky and deteriorate over time, so ensure you have a spare available.
Some brands provide a comprehensive repair kit containing everything necessary in a single convenient package.
Understanding Kite Pumps
While not the most enjoyable task, every kitesurfer must inflate their kite before venturing into the water. Although manual pumps are still predominant, many models allow you to toggle between single and double-stroke inflation, enabling instant switching from high-volume, low-pressure inflation to low-volume, high-pressure inflation.
When choosing your pump, consider one with a top-mounted gauge to monitor the psi during inflation. Additionally, numerous kite kits include various nozzles, ensuring compatibility with the valve.
If you need a solution for storing all of your equipment, a practical option is to acquire a Surf Bag.
