The ultimate packing list for your kitesurfing vacation

A kitesurfing vacation is a dream but packing the right way can be a challenge. To make sure you don’t forget anything important, we’ve put together the perfect packing list for your trip.


1. Kitesurfing Gear

Your gear is the heart of your trip. Usually I bring everything I have because exactly those things that you left at home the ones that you are going to need 😀 Make sure to include:

  • Kites (ideally 2–4 sizes, depending on conditions)
  • Board (twintip, directional, or foil, depending on your preferences)
  • Bar
  • Harness
  • Impact Vest (for protection)
  • Rashguard (for sun protection and to avoid skin irritation)
  • Wetsuit (short or full-length, depending on water and air temperature, boots if needed)
  • Helmet (should allways be worn)
  • Leash
  • Pump 

2. Clothing and Accessories

You’ll also need the right stuff for when you’re on land (can vary with climate):

  • T-shirts
  • Socks
  • Swim shorts
  • Underwear
  • Shorts
  • Flip-flops
  • Poncho (perfect for changing at the beach)
  • Cap or hat (for sun protection)
  • Sunglasses (with a strap if you plan to wear them in the water)

3. Tech and Gadgets

Capture memories and stay connected:

  • GoPro (for footage of your sessions)
  • Apple Watch (to track your activities, I highly recommend the Hoolan App)
  • Charging cables (for all your devices)
  • Headphones (for the journey and relaxing evenings)

4. Travel Documents and Essentials

Don’t forget these important items:

  • Passport/ID card
  • Driver’s license (if you’re renting a vehicle)
  • Contact lenses or glasses

5. Toiletries and Protection

Think about personal care and sun protection:

  • Toothbrush/toothpaste
  • Deodorant
  • Shampoo and shower gel
  • Sunscreen (high SPF recommended)
  • Travel towel/swimming towel

In Summary:

With this packing list, you’re perfectly prepared for your kitesurfing vacation. Whether you’re heading to Cumbuco, Mauritius, or El Gouna, these essentials will make your trip smooth and worry-free.

Pro Tip: Use BoardCircle to get gear locally if you forget anything. Less hassle – more riding!

Safe travels and enjoy the water! 🌊
