The most expensive kiteboards in the world
In this edition we present the most expensive kiteboards in the world. It’s a sport that’s increasingly popular here on the waves of the Black Sea, and those with enough money can even go to more remote beaches such as those in South Africa or Brazil.

It’s hard to determine which is the world’s most expensive kiting equipment because prices vary widely, they can be easily customizable and are more for everyone’s budget, even though the sport is not for everyone – you need to be in good shape, a good swimmer and have no fears of water or heights. But some equipment, such as surfboards, can command higher prices if the graphics on them are by famous artists.
Kitesurfing equipment consists of harness, board, kite and bar.
A few recommendations from the experts:
When buying your own equipment, start with buying a harness that really fits you, that you find most comfortable. The size of the board depends on your weight and size. Board sizes range from 130 cm to 165 cm. In general, try to choose a larger board at first, as it will be easier to sail upwind in light winds. A slightly bigger board will help you jump higher and progress faster as a kitesurfer. When choosing your kite size, you need to think about where you will be kitesurfing most often and what the prevailing wind conditions are in that place. If you know you will be kiting mostly in light winds, increase the size by 1 or 2 meters. It’s always easiest to buy all your kites from one brand and the corresponding bar. Kites will always fly best with the bar designed from the same brand.
