Where to get equimpent and how much does it const?
On this subject peoples opinions and answers vary, but we some recommendations for you:
- As a beginner, avoid kites that were made more than 2 years ago. The sport is young and equipment ages quickly. With a new kite it is easier and simpler to learn to ride.
- If you are planning to purchase used equipment then examine the history of it before buying (make sure its not stolen etc.).
- Also make sure that all the bits and accessories that once came with the kite when it was new, are present still. Try to avoid kitefirms, that are no longer on retail sale in your country (spare parts may be impossible to find later on).
