FAQ's

A trainer kite is a 2-line foil kite (otherwise known as a ram-air foil) that is usally 1-3 square meters in size. Using a trainer kite is the first step in learning to kiteboard and teaches the student about the wind and the basics of kite flying. The trainer teaches how to steer properly and safely as well as how the kite reacts to movements and the wind. Having good kite skills with the trainer will transfer over to the larger kites for quicker learning in lessons.

The table below is the maximum length allowed for shipping with US Postal. If we can ship a kiteboard with US Postal, you are looking at paying around $60.00. If it is not possible to ship with US Postal, we will ship with UPS which will cost around $175.00.
