Hey guys. Yes, you can kitesurf with glasses — most riders who need vision correction manage it fine. The real question is how, because your regular glasses stay on the beach and standard sunglasses don’t cut it either. I tried sunglasses on the water once. Within ten minutes they were covered in water drops, I … Read more
Hey guys. Kitesurfing bad knees — I know riders doing it every session. Some with old ACL repairs, some with chronic knee pain, some who’ve had surgery and came back to the water. Most of them manage fine. But the first thing I’ll always say is this: talk to your doctor before you get in … Read more
Hey guys. Kitesurfing for heavier riders is absolutely doable — I’ve seen riders well over 110kg learn and ride well. But you need the right gear, and you need to be honest about one thing most guides won’t mention: flexibility. Get both right and you’ll progress just like anyone else. Note: This post contains affiliate … Read more
Hey guys. Stop guessing your kite size. It’s one of the most common and most expensive mistakes beginners make — buying the wrong size because someone at the beach said so, or because a forum post from 2019 said a 12m is “standard.” Kite size depends on your weight and your wind. Nothing else. I’ve … Read more
Hey guys. Body drag kitesurfing back to your board is the skill most beginners underestimate — and the one that makes the biggest difference once you start riding. You will lose your board. Every rider does, constantly in the early stages. Whether you get it back efficiently or spend 20 minutes swimming for it is … Read more
Hey guys. Kitesurfing etiquette comes down to two things: always help, and always know what’s happening around you. Everything else follows from those two. Some riders think they own the beach and the water. They launch without looking, they ignore other kiters in trouble, they ride through crowded areas without a second thought. They don’t. … Read more
Hey guys. How long to learn kitesurfing depends more on your instincts and consistency than anything else. Most people get their first real rides within 10 to 15 hours of lesson time — but that number can vary significantly depending on how often you practice and how naturally the movements come to you. Here’s the … Read more
Hey guys. Is kitesurfing hard? In the beginning — yes. But the difficulty has nothing to do with talent or fitness. It has everything to do with approach. The riders who find kitesurfing hard are almost always the ones fighting it. Fighting the kite, fighting the wind, fighting the water. You can’t beat the wind. … Read more
Hey guys. The kitesurfing cost in 2026 ranges from €1,500 to €4,000+ to get properly started. That’s the honest number — and before you spend a single euro, the most important thing to understand is this: check your real budget first, then build your setup around it. Never cut corners on safety equipment to save … Read more
Hey guys. Kitesurfing alone is never fully safe. That’s the honest answer. You can kitesurf without anyone else on the water — experienced riders do it all the time — but someone always needs to know you’re in the water, where you are, and what to do if you don’t come back. I learned this … Read more
