First of all, are you talking about windsurfing or kitesurfing. The two sports sound similar but are very different. In kitesurfing, as the name suggests, the rider has a large power kite, which you fly in the air to provide you with power. In kitesurfing, you have a small, thin board on your feet. In windsurfing, the rider has a large, thick board with a sail 3 or 4 metres high directly mounted onto it. The rider stands on the board and holds the sail, angling it into the wind to control the amount of power. Windsurfing is effectively sailing on a board instead of in a boat, whilst kitesurfing is using a kite to create power.

If you are talking about kitesurfing, individual kites range from £200 to £1000 depending on condition, make and size.

Windsurfing rigs cost around a few hundred pounds, again depending on condition, make and size.
