Buying a board and its matched components together as a package is one of the easiest and best value ways into wake and kite sports. Instead of piecing a setup together and hoping it all works, a package gives you parts that have been chosen to go together, often at a better price than buying separately, and takes the guesswork out of getting started or upgrading.

Our wake and kite packages bring together wakeboards with bindings, and kite gear in ready to ride combinations, from beginner friendly setups to performance packages for experienced riders. We put together trusted brands and matched components, so you can get on the water sooner with a setup that simply works.

Not sure which package suits you? The guide below explains how to choose, and our team is always happy to help. Browse the range below, or build your own setup from our wakeboards, wakeboard bindings, and kitesurfing gear.

Why Buy a Package?

Packages exist because the parts of a setup work as a system. A wakeboard and its bindings, or a kite and its board, perform best when they are matched in size, flex, and ability level. Buying a package means someone has already done that matching for you, which saves time, avoids compatibility headaches, and usually costs less than buying each item separately. For newcomers especially, it removes a lot of the uncertainty around building a first setup.

Types of Package

Our packages cover the main combinations riders need.

• Wakeboard and binding packages: a board matched with suitable bindings, sized and flexed to work together
• Complete wake setups: board, bindings, and sometimes a bag or rope, ready to ride
• Kite and board packages: kite gear combined with a matched board for a coordinated setup

Packages range from beginner focused combinations to performance setups, so there is something whether you are starting out or upgrading.

How to Choose the Right Package

The right package depends on your ability, your weight, and how you ride.

• Ability: beginner packages favour forgiving, stable boards and easy bindings, while advanced packages are more responsive
• Weight and size: the board size and binding fit should suit your body for control and comfort
• How you ride: behind a boat, at a cable park, or both, as some boards are optimised for each
• Your budget

If you are starting out, a beginner package built around a forgiving board is the easiest and most enjoyable way in. Our team can help you match a package to your level and conditions.

Getting the Fit Right

Even in a package, fit matters. Bindings should hold your feet snugly with your heels locked down and no painful pressure points, as a loose fit costs control and can be unsafe on landings. Board size should suit your weight, with larger boards offering more stability and float. For kite packages, the kite size should suit your weight and local wind, and the board should match your ability. We can check the sizing works for you before you buy.

Boat and Cable Riding

Where you ride affects which package suits you. Boat riding involves bigger, wake to wake jumps, so boards and bindings are built to absorb hard landings. Cable parks involve features and rails, so cable oriented boards have tougher, more durable bases and bindings built for the demands of park riding. Some all round packages handle both well. Let us know where you will ride most and we can point you to the right setup.

Caring for Your Setup

Looking after a package keeps it performing and lasting.

• Rinse the board, bindings, and any kite gear with fresh water after sessions
• Dry everything out of direct sun before storing
• Check and tighten binding and fin screws regularly
• Repair any board dings promptly to stop water ingress
• Store dry, away from extreme heat, using bags where provided

Regular checks of binding screws and prompt repair of any damage keep a setup safe and reliable.

How Much Do Packages Cost?

Package prices depend on the components, their level, and brand, but the appeal is that a package generally costs less than buying the same items separately. Beginner packages sit at the more affordable end of the range, all round setups in the middle, and performance packages with premium boards and bindings at the top. For most riders, a package is the better value route to a complete, matched setup.

Getting Set Up and On the Water

Once your package arrives, a little setup gets the best from it. For a wake package, mount the bindings at a comfortable stance a little wider than shoulder width, check your heels are locked down with no painful pressure points, and tighten all the screws before you ride. For a kite package, rig in a clear, safe area, learn your safety release, and build up in suitable wind. Beginners of either sport will progress far faster with proper lessons, which teach safe technique and the fundamentals of control before you head out alone. A matched package takes care of the gear side, so you can focus on learning to ride rather than worrying about whether your components work together.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wake and Kite Packages

Why buy a package instead of separate items?

The components are matched to work together in size, flex, and ability level, which saves time, avoids compatibility issues, and usually costs less than buying each item separately.

Are packages good for beginners?

Yes. Beginner packages are built around forgiving, stable boards and easy bindings or kites, which makes learning easier and takes the guesswork out of a first setup.

Will the bindings fit me in a package?

Packages are matched for general compatibility, but fit still matters. We can check the binding size and board size suit your weight and feet before you buy.

What is the difference between boat and cable setups?

Boat setups handle bigger wake to wake landings, while cable park setups have tougher bases and bindings for rails and features. Some all round packages do both.

Can I upgrade part of a package later?

Yes. A package is a great starting point, and you can replace the board, bindings, or kite individually as your riding develops and your preferences become clearer.

How do I know what kite size is in a kite package?

Kite packages list their kite size. The right size depends on your weight and local wind, so check it suits your conditions, and we can advise if unsure.

Do packages include a bag or rope?

Some complete setups include extras like a board bag or rope, while others are board and bindings only. The product details list exactly what is included.

How do I care for my package?

Rinse everything with fresh water after sessions, dry it out of direct sun, check binding and fin screws regularly, repair dings promptly, and store it dry.
