Which kites do I need as a beginner in kitesurfing?
In addition to a professional kiteboard, as a beginner you should pay particular attention to choosing the right kites. You have successfully completed your kitesurfing course and now you want to buy your own kites? Then you should pay attention to certain points.
For beginners it is more important that the kite launches easily out of the water (relaunch) and offers a good depower ability to reduce the pull in strong winds. A balanced steering response that is not too sensitive to steering inputs is also ideal. Also important for beginners is a reliable safety system with an effective quick release.
In general, it can be said that beginners should start with an all-round kite that is versatile and does not restrict development.
To use the kite, you will also need a suitable kite pump and kite bar.
If you can already handle your new kite well, it is worth looking for other kites.
