Before we rent equipment
What do I need to rent kite gear?
You need an IKO Level 3 card or equivalent independent skills: safe kite control, relaunch, body drag, riding both directions, and basic self-rescue. Kite rental is not for first-time beginners. If you cannot demonstrate independent riding, a 1-hour assessment lesson (€50) gets you checked first.
If you are not fully independent
No problem. Start with a refresher lesson, supervision, or a short private coaching session. That way you get back into the rhythm safely before renting gear alone.
Support on the water
What support comes with every rental?
Every rental comes with a gear check before you ride, help choosing the right kite size for the wind, and a resort base to come back to after your session. Boat transfers and lagoon access can be arranged depending on the spot and package.
