About Us

🌊 Passion. Expertise. Stoke.

At KiteGearShop.com, we live and breathe kitesurfing. We're a small but mighty team of gear-obsessed riders, repair wizards, and wind chasers—here to keep you on the water without breaking the bank.

Meet the Team

Chris – Founder & Kite Gear Fanatic

Chris is the driving force behind KiteGearShop, where cutting-edge new gear meets expert repairs and premium aftermarket parts. After getting dragged through parks by early kites in the '90s, he developed an obsession with both the latest technology and resurrecting damaged gear. Now with decades of experience, he carefully selects the best new kites while maintaining an extensive inventory of repair components and refurbished equipment.

As owner, Chris has built KiteGearShop into a one-stop destination - whether you need a pristine new kite, professional repairs, or hard-to-find parts to keep your gear flying. When not testing the newest models or engineering custom solutions, you'll find him chasing wind with whatever gear needs "just one more session" - new or used.

Sky – Operations Support

Sky keeps the gears turning at KiteGearShop, ensuring every order, repair, and customer request runs smoothly. With a background in e-commerce, and a love for water sports, Sky combines efficiency with genuine passion for getting kiters what they need.

From managing orders to coordinating with suppliers and logistics, Sky's attention to detail means you can trust your gear is in good hands. Off the clock, you'll find her on the water or planning the next shop upgrade to serve you better.

Benny – Product Support

Benny is hands-on with every piece of gear that comes through KiteGearShop. He meticulously inspects, documents, and preps each product - from detailed condition reports to photography. His sharp eye catches every stitch, seam, and stress point, ensuring accurate listings for our customers.

Working alongside Chris, Benny handles the physical processing of all inventory. Whether it's organizing repair workflows, tagging gear, or prepping shipments, he keeps the operation running with precision. When off duty, you'll find him pursuing his own active adventures, bringing that same attention to detail to his personal sports gear.
