Thailand is a paradise for kiteboarders and wing foilers, with its year-round warm weather, stunning beaches, and consistent winds. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a beginner looking to start your journey, it’s essential to choose the right kite and wing foil gear. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about buying kite gear in Thailand—new or second-hand, gear recommendations for all levels, and more.
Kiteboarding and wing foiling are becoming increasingly popular in Thailand, and with its consistent winds, especially on Koh Phangan, Hua Hin, and Phuket, it’s the perfect location to buy your gear. Whether you’re renting for a while or ready to make your purchase, Thailand is home to a variety of trusted kiteshops with quality gear.
When buying gear in Thailand, you can rely on local shops for immediate support and help with your gear. Instead of buying from overseas, where shipping can take longer, you’ll have fast access to the gear, replacement parts, and expert advice.
Kiteboarding gear varies greatly depending on your experience, skill level, and preferences. Here’s a breakdown of what to look for.
If you’re just starting out, you’ll need a stable, forgiving kite that’s easy to relaunch. Freeride kites are the best choice for beginners, as they are designed to be easy to handle, stable in all conditions, and forgiving if you make mistakes.
At this stage, you should be comfortable riding, jumping, and exploring different kite types. Freestyle kites are a good option for riders looking to progress.
Advanced riders need specialized gear for their style, whether that’s freestyle, race or foiling Your kite should perform at its peak in various wind conditions.
Brands to Consider: Flysurfer, Slingshot and Eleveight.
Wing foiling has rapidly gained popularity, and the right gear is essential for your experience on the water. Here’s how to choose:
When you’re just starting, you want to focus on having the right wing size and foil setup.
Recommended Gear: High volume boards, shorter mast (around 60cm) and front wings with big surface area for easy light and stability.
As you progress, you’ll likely move to smaller wings and more specialized foils that offer better speed, control, and performance.
Recommended Gear: lower volume boards, higher mast (80-90cm) and smaller front wings with higher aspect.
Brand to Consider: Slingshot
Choosing between new and second-hand gear depends on your budget and preferences. Here’s a breakdown:
Pros: Comes with a full warranty (1 year for most of our kites), newest models, latest technology, and performance.
Cons: Higher price tag.
Pros: More budget-friendly.
Cons: Wear and tear, potential repairs, and limited warranty.
If you buy used gear, be sure to check the kite’s condition. Some of our used kites are still in mint condition, and we also have professionally repaired gear. The price of second-hand kites depends on their condition, model year, and repair history.
When considering second-hand kite and wing foil gear, there are several important things to check:
Look for any visible damage such as rips, tears, or sun damage. A small tear can lead to bigger problems later.
Check the kite bladders and ensure they are not leaking.
Inspect the bridle lines for fraying or wear.
Eleveight, Flysurfer, and Slingshot are among the top brands for kiteboarding and wing foiling. These brands offer high-quality equipment that is durable and reliable. Flysurfer is particularly known for its foil kites, while Eleveight is known for its tube kites and Slingshot for providing excellent freestyle and freeride kites. Slingshot also has a strong reputation for producing top-of-the-line harnesses and accessories.
Be cautious when buying a kite with repairs. We offer kites that have been professionally repaired, but ensure any second-hand kite you purchase has been repaired by an expert.
Older kites may still perform well, but they can lose performance over time. Check the manufacturing year and consider the price difference.
Compare prices of new vs. used gear to ensure you’re getting a good deal. Used kites should be significantly cheaper than new ones.
In Thailand, there are several trusted local kiteshops where you can purchase new and second-hand gear. From Koh Phangan to Hua Hin and Phuket, you can find top-quality gear and expert advice. However, online shopping can offer you the convenience of browsing and buying from home.
When shopping online, always check the following:
