Kitesurfing Gear
All the kitesurfing equipment you'll need can be hired on the ground in the Algarve. The only thing we'd recommend bringing along would be:
• Wet & Dry Bag
• Rash Guard - Short or Longsleeve
Optional beginners and experienced Kitesurfers: Spring wetsuit (short arms and short legs) Most people will not need a wetsuit, however if you get cold easily and you want to kitesurf for long periods of time, you may want to bring a spring suit. Alternatively a suit can be hired along with your gear.
