About Blast Kiteboarding

PASSION NOT FASHION!

We live / breath kitesurfing 24/7, our lives are completely wrapped up in this wonderful world of kitesurfing, whether it's in some hot exotic location abroad or in the middle of the winter on our home beaches in the UK we will still be out there riding and testing the kit we sell.

We are real people, not a large anonymous corproate business pushing for volume sales. Every customer is important to us and as such we strive to go the extra mile to help you the client as best we can.

Blast Kiteboarding was born out of a simple idea - to help people fight against the growing cost of doing what we love to do. We are small company but we are keen kitesurfers so we understand what is important - quality gear and great prices.

Blast Kiteboarding is one of the most commited and experienced kite stores in the UK but with excellent couriers we have many stoked regular customers from all over Europe.

We offer a huge range of kitesurf kit from market leading manufacturers in kitesurfing including North / Ozone / Airush / PLKB etc 

We will only sell equipment we truly believe in, kites and boards that we like to use ourselves, brands we can depend on for the best back up service available, be it a warranty issue or just to order a spare part.

We constantly monitor and compare prices daily to ensure you get the very best prices possible.

With this comes over 21 years experience in the Kite / Surf industry as well as the same number of years being uber keen kitesurfers ourselves. This means we have a heap load of contacts to get the best deals for you.

Treating customers, as we would like to be treated ourselves, is one of key beliefs and the foundation of our customer service. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us via emai [email protected]

Blast was formed to meet the demand for a Kitesurf School/Business/Shop/Store in the South Wales region but also as a leading national and European online retail store. Marc was one of the original kitesurfing pioneers in S.Wales UK and was one of the very first to use the main beaches in S.Wales that we all love to use now, such as Rest Bay and Aberavon.
