Top 3 Items to Remember When Buying Kite and Wing Foil Gear

After working in the warehouse for a while, I’ve received a lot of emails and phone calls about people forgetting a piece of gear with their brand new wing or kite package. That can be a huge bummer if you were planning to get on the water and now you can’t just because of one small piece of equipment that you forgot.

Today I’ll be going through the most commonly forgotten items when purchasing gear with us to make sure you can get on the water as fast as possible and to avoid any frustration.

Foil Mounting Hardware

When it comes to mixing different brands, boards, and foil sets, hardware can get messy. Even our Naish Semi Complete foil sets do not come with hardware. Most brands include it, but don’t hesitate to reach out to us via live chat or email to make sure you will receive all the right hardware with your foil set purchase.

Inflation Pump Adapters

Luckily, our best-selling brand WMFG made it easy. They include a pack of pump adapters for all major brands. However, if you don’t already have a WMFG pump, there's a chance that you will not have the right pump adapter for your new kite, wing, or SUP. Make sure whenever you’re buying a new piece of gear that you have the right pump adapter for the brand. Nothing’s worse than being stoked for a session only to have to stare at a deflated piece of gear.
