Kites ARE the most expensive and they are the most delicate part of your quiver. They are made of fabric and are easily damaged when dropped from the sky or when flown into an obstacle like a tree or a fence. There is a whole industry of kite repairs out there. But even a professionally repaired kite is not as good as a new one.<\/p><p>The fabric of a kite becomes less crispy and creates an unwanted drag, slowing the kite down. Used kites are sitting a bit deeper inside the wind window because of this, making it a bit more challenging to ride upwind. And the fabric itself becomes more fragile and more susceptible to breaking on an impact, shortening the lifespan of the kite<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c0e063a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c0e063a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-92c8d29\" data-id=\"92c8d29\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bf2669 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1bf2669\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Kite lines and bridal system are facing the same fate as the canopy.

Not at all! In fact, I would not even recommend buying your own gear in the very beginning since you do not know what you like or don\u2019t like just yet. Shopping for kitesurfing equipment would be a lot easier for you after you\u2019ve tried a few kites and a few boards. You would know better what you value in kitesurfing gear once you develop a bit of a style of your own.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e2b40fc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e2b40fc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4c44c54\" data-id=\"4c44c54\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-393c1d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"393c1d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Option 1: Take lessons<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d894f95 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d894f95\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e24f57\" data-id=\"5e24f57\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ad6f17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ad6f17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Now, how can you start kitesurfing without buying your own gear? The sure-fire option is to take a few kitesurfing lessons. Kitesurfing schools will provide you with everything you need and often times they will even give you some options to choose from. And you can switch your gear as you go through your training, especially when the wind conditions change. This is a great option to start with, in my opinion.<\/p><p>Prices for taking classes vary depending on the country and the location of the school. The range is <strong>from $50 per hour to $300 per session.<\/strong> Just check the liability waiver to make sure you are not responsible for any lost or damaged gear before you sign anything.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b96eebb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b96eebb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ce6e9f\" data-id=\"7ce6e9f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46bef50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"46bef50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Option 2: Rent your gear<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5170413 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5170413\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d584121\" data-id=\"d584121\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51a665a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51a665a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another option is to rent your gear.
