Used Kite FAQ
Are used kites safe?
Yes—when properly inspected. We check canopy panels, leading-edge/strut seams, valves, bladders, bridles, and pigtails, then call out any cosmetic wear. If something doesn’t meet our ride-ready standard, we fix or we don’t list it.
What’s included with a used kite?
Each listing notes what’s in the bag (kite only vs. “with bar & lines”), repair notes, and condition grade. Message us if you need compatible bars or a pump—we’ll bundle a deal.
How do I pick the right size for Tampa Bay?
Most riders here use 9–12m as a daily driver and add a 6–8m for fronts or a 13–15m for lighter days. We’ll size to your weight, board, and favorite launch.
Do you ship?
Absolutely. Same-day shipping on most orders. Local riders can also choose in-store pickup at our St. Petersburg shop.
