What equipment do I need to get started? |

To take lessons you need nothing apart from something to wear in the water and a sense of adventure. AKS supplies everything you need to get started. However, once you have finished with your lessons, you can either hire some equipment or you will have to purchase your own gear. Most beginners start off with a kite, a board and a harness. A wetsuit will be necessary for use outside of summer and you may decide to purchase a helmet and also a pfd/impact vest to protect yourself from injury. There is a very bouyant 2nd hand market with good pre-loved gear, but it is wise to get advice from your instructor as to what equipment will be suitable.
