What is the best beginner's kite for kiteboarding?

At Kitemana, we have all the top brands of the kitesurfing industry in stock. Each brand offers one or more beginner-friendly kites, and some even have kites specifically designed for beginners. Some examples of beginner kites are: North Reach, Duotone Evo, or the Reedin Supermodel. The best beginner's kite for you depends on various factors such as your body weight, your home spot, your ambitions in kiteboarding, and your budget, of course. We are happy to assist you in finding your ideal beginner-friendly kite, which will also provide you with plenty of enjoyment as you progress in your skills!

What should I consider when buying a beginners kite?

When purchasing your first kite, you should consider your individual circumstances, such as body weight and height, the number of kites you intend to purchase, the wind conditions at the location where you will be riding most often, and any previous experiences you may have had during your kite lessons, for example.

Hoeveel kites heb ik nodig om te beginnen met kitesurfen?

Most kitesurfers use two to three kites in intermediate sizes ranging from 2-3 meters, allowing them to cover the majority of the relevant wind range for them. However, you can also start kitesurfing with just one kite, gain experience, and later purchase more kites. If you are buying one kite to start with, choose the kite that is perfect for you and the average wind conditions at your local spot.

What are the ideal kite sizes for a beginner kitesurfer?

The ideal kite sizes depend on you and the conditions at your local spot. As a beginner, you shouldn't kite in too strong winds, so you don't need to immediately buy a small storm kite for yourself. Larger kite sizes are needed in lighter winds, and these are the perfect practice conditions to improve your kitesurfing skills. During lighter wind days, the conditions are much calmer, allowing you to safely explore kitesurfing.

What are important features for beginner-friendly kites?

The character of a beginner's kite should be easy and friendly. It is also important that a beginner's kite has the right characteristics to ensure the fastest and best progression. The four important features that kite beginners should pay attention to are:

Good upwind capabilities

Forgiving kite characteristics

High versatility

Easy relaunch

What type of kite is ideal for kitesurf beginners?

If you type this question into Google, you often find the answer that freeride kites are more suitable for beginners than wave or freestyle kites. However, some high-performance freeride kites offer so much power that it can be quite overwhelming in the beginning, and some kite schools mainly teach the sport on wave kites. C-Kites and Freestyle Kites are not suitable for beginners. They often require more skills to be controlled. To make it easy for you, we have pre-selected beginner-friendly kites for you on this page based on our knowledge and experience.

What wind range can I cover with my beginner-friendly kite?

The wind range you can cover depends on your type of kite, kite size, your weight, board size, and skill level. 15-25 knots are ideal playgrounds for kite beginners. If you live in a place with lighter or stronger winds, you will need to adjust your kite equipment accordingly.

Welke kite is het beste om te leren springen voor beginners?

If you want to learn jumping, freeride and big air kites will support your progression the most! Big air kites have higher bar pressure and stronger pulling power, so they can be too powerful, especially for lightweight riders. On the other hand, big air kites often have a very effective depower. If you're not sure what's best for you, just contact us for advice!

Should I buy a new kite or a beginner-friendly used kite?

At Kitemana, we sell both new beginner kites and you can also find second-hand kites with us. The advantages of a new kite are that you have a wider selection to choose from at the time of purchase. Also, there is naturally no risk when buying new equipment, as there is no hidden damage. Additionally, at Kitemana, you will receive excellent service and can get all the other necessities for your kitesurfing needs. However, we have an on-site repair workshop and professional kite repair service that will gladly assist you with any unforeseen damages. Want to browse through the second-hand kites? Click here.
