📘 How to choose — your buying guide
A complete kitesurf kit means a kite + bar, a board, a harness and the safety gear. Here's how to choose each piece to start.
The kite
A versatile, forgiving BANDIT is the reference to learn on. Size depends on weight and wind — ideally 2 sizes. See the kite guide →
The board (twintip)
To start, a rather large board (≈ 138–145 cm depending on weight): it planes early and forgives — you get going and ride upwind more easily.
The harness
- Seat harness: support and comfort, doesn't ride up — ideal for beginners.
- Waist harness: more freedom and mobility — for progressing riders.
Safety — non-negotiable
Bar with a quick-release, a leash, and above all lessons with a school: kiting is learned supervised — the key to safe progress.
We'll equip you from A to Z and advise you by level and spot.

BIG ONE WITH UNIBOX 50MM – SLATE
CHF 599.00
BIG ONE — the light-wind twin-tip: ride when others are stuck on the shore.
Marque: F-One
What a catch! Discover the remarkable world of riding in very light wind with the BIG ONE.
Its large area generates lift and glide early: you get planing where a normal twin-tip is still stuck in the water. That is exactly what it is made for on Lake Neuchâtel, where the thermal is often weak — it turns days you would otherwise cancel into real sessions.
Supplied with the UNIBOX 50 mm. Paired with a light-wind kite, it is the cheapest way to significantly increase your number of riding days per year.
