100+ wing foil brands
A large number of the kitesurfing brands in the overview below have also started wingsurfing or wingfoiling.
Due to the stormy growth of wingsurf and/or wingfoil brands, we have made a separate overview for this.
Kite brands number stabilizes
The kitesurfing industry has grown rapidly since 1998 with many new kitesurfing brands and manufacturers. All super interesting kitesurfing brands with an often fascinating and interesting background. It was certainly not only the windsurfing brands that started making kitesurfing products. Almost all kite brands were started by passionate kite surfers. There were also pioneers who went to work from their garage at home. Each and every one of them has contributed to what kitesurfing has to offer today. View the most important changes after the overview of kitesurf brands.
Kites on a diet
More than ever, the engine of technological developments in the kitesurfing industry is running at full speed. Kites must be lighter and at the same time stronger, more stable and more reliable. Materials and production processes must be more environmentally conscious. It usually does not make the kites cheaper, but the properties improve enormously. We consider what we call 'lite surf'. The concept with which we say that kites are on a diet.

Changes kitesurf brands
Departures and new brands
Nevertheless, kitesurfing brands have stopped in recent years. That's how Ben Wilson stopped. Ben has started to focus on kitesurf coaching and organizing kitesurfing holidays and trips. Liquid Force Kiteboarding has also stopped kitesurfing. It was a difficult decision, but they are going to fully focus on wakeboarding again. In addition, Flexifoil has left the kitesurfing market. They still sell power kites and accessories, but no more kites and kiteboards. In 2023 is also Switch Kites acquired by Ventum Kiteboarding. The Corona pandemic has hurt Switch Kiteboarding with the high transport prices. We also removed Chubanga and Inobo from the list. We added Sabfoil. Sabfoil was first listed under the name Moses. The most prominent newcomer is still Reedin.
Wider range of kite brands
We always check the range of the different kite brands. What is striking is that the range is still expanding. For example with kite foil and wing foil material.

Hey you!
yes, you forgot us.
we are still an underdog, but we are growing.
It's Mioboards. the most sustainable brand on the market and one most stable boards.
Our way of building boards is completely different from the industry. The calculated CNC milled Wooden construction is stable by itself and the resin is just for waterproofness.
Just check.
