Kitesurfing - novice shopping equipment

When novices are picking up kitesurfing equipment, they are often overwhelmed by numerous brands and models, and they may end up misguided by misinformation, choosing equipment that is not suitable for them and affecting the level of improvement. Here are some suggestions for new friends who are about to choose kite surfing equipment for some of the equipment knowledge I have.

Principled recommendations:

First, choose to purchase equipment after receiving formal training.

Due to the rapid development of kitesurfing, the performance of different brands of equipment varies greatly in different periods. The selection of equipment for newcomers with no concept of kitesurfing is tantamount to the blindness. Regular training and formal training coaches will greatly help you choose equipment.

Many newcomers hope to self-taught and purchase equipment based on limited information through price comparisons, appearances, etc., but ultimately find that most of the equipment purchased based on this information is not suitable for themselves, but causes unnecessary waste.

Second, on the premise of economic capabilities, as far as possible to buy better performance equipment.

Facts have proved that better equipped equipment helps to improve the efficiency of learning for the novice and is also safer.

Novice equipment selection principle:

The surfing kite preparation is mainly composed of surfing kites, surfboards, hook hooks, and other auxiliary equipment.

Surf kites:

Surf kites are the most important part of kite surfing equipment. At present, there are mainly C-kite, bow-kite, hybrid, SLS, Deltas, C-Sharp and soft kites. From the simple classification of inflatable methods, kites can be divided into two kinds of inflatable and soft, and novices should first choose inflatable kites.

Inflatable kites can be simply divided into C-type and non-C-type, previously mentioned bow-kite, hybrid, SLE, Deltas are non-C-type, these terms seem complex, in fact, a simple way to determine whether the airbag is wired Group (Bridle), wired group is non-C kite. Although the performances of bow-kite, hybrid, SLE, and Deltas have been emphasized in the beginning of the definition, with the development of kite technology, some basic performances such as water rising and discharging force range have been increasingly perfected, and are used in beaches around the world. The above-mentioned variety of non-C-type beginners are abundant, and the difference between non-C-types is not so obvious.

From the perspective of novice selection, generally choose a non-C kite that is safe, easy to handle, has strong wind adaptability and good water performance, and does not use c-kite.

Due to the short development time of kitesurfing and the rapid changes in equipment every year, the purchase of new kites should be a novice choice. If you purchase second-hand equipment, you should also try to purchase products that are older.

There are many brands of surfing kites, and there are about ten first-line brands with large quantities. The first-line brands have invested more energy in R&D, testing, and quality control. Therefore, they are much higher in terms of safety, stability, product refinement, and after-sales service. Those small brand products, it is recommended to try to buy the first-line big brands of products.

The major brands will subdivide different kite models to meet different kite surfing style players. Some models will highlight the rapidity and jumping performance of the kite, while others will highlight the overall performance of the kite. For beginners, kites with better overall performance should be selected. The general performance of the big brand kites will be accompanied by the performance characteristics table. The novice should select the models with higher performance scores such as Free ride, Race, Up wind.

When choosing a kite for surfing, you should also pay attention to the size of the kite. In this regard, we mainly consider the wind conditions of the kite surfing area. Take the kite surfing enthusiasts in Fujian as an example. Those who often perform kite surfing in Xiamen will basically choose to compare. Large-scale surfing kites are the basis; while kitesurfing in Pingtan, smaller kite surfing kites are required.

Two or three differently sized kites can generally be selected to accommodate different wind forces.

Surfing a kite is a relatively fine product with a certain amount of scientific and technological content, and it requires a high degree of matching of various components. Since the slight changes between the various groups of lines determine different strengths and flight effects, it is better to use original thread sets and handles when choosing to surf a kite. This is the case when using different types of kites and line handles. It is best avoided.

From time to time, some students consulted with me about the so-called manufacturers selling kite surfing information at ultra-low prices on the Internet. In fact, although China is a big country for surfing kites, it is as difficult to obtain large-scale surfing kites directly from regular manufacturers as it is to go directly to the Foxconn factory door. Buy 100 Iphone 6 from the factory. Those online low-cost vendors are basically proofs in early proofs or cottages. Experts will laugh at them with their erroneous product descriptions. Kite surfing companies need extremely professional technology and raw materials, and production of "kite" can be said to have nothing to do, those who sell surfing kites also sell all kinds of children's kite manufacturers' information can be directly ignored.

Kite surfboards:

When choosing a surfboard, a novice should choose a two-way kite board, but not a uni-directional surf board or a race board.

The current functional subdivision of the two-way board is also relatively clear, such as flat water wake style, Freestyle, Lightwind, etc., the novice can choose a surfboard with better overall performance, and pay attention to the top wind Up wind index.

Dimensions should be chosen as large as possible, such as the average weight can choose 138-150cm (or even greater) kite board, lighter weight is also best to use 135 or so kite board, which will help to improve the gliding and Wind driving practice effect.

The comfort of the footrest pad is also an important indicator for the selection of a kite surfboard, and the comfortable and comfortable footrest pad can improve the comfort of the gliding.

The life of kite surfboards is long, and we now often recommend that students directly purchase surfboards with higher performance (such as full carbon fiber board). This avoids the need to upgrade the high-end boards by phasing out the original entry boards after upgrading the technology. No need to lose.

Hook and hook

In general, each kite surfing brand has its own chest hook and hook products. The question of whether a novice should use a breast hook or a hook is currently inconclusive. As long as it suits their physical condition and body condition, either a chest hook or a hook can be selected.

Relatively speaking, the design requirements of breast hooks are much higher than those of sitting hooks. Badly designed breast hooks will bring great discomfort to the body. Currently, the chest hook brands that are recognized by the market include Mystic, Ion, North, etc. The brand should be mystic, extremely professional in design and comfortable to use. And there is little difference between the various brands.

Simply speaking, when choosing the size, you should follow the principle of sitting on a hook and a small hook.

Other auxiliary equipment includes helmets, life jackets, surfing suits, winter clothes, diving shoes, surfing gloves, surfing glasses, etc. In general, helmets and life jackets are essential equipment for beginners. Other equipment can be selected according to the actual use environment.

Select a helmet should choose a dedicated water sports helmet, light and protective performance.

The lifejacket is also best used for kitesurfing. It is best not to interfere too much with the hook hook and consider choosing a brighter colour to help rescue in case of accident.
