Kite Bag

When the wind is finally perfect, you don't want to be missing something that will prevent you from taking advantage of every minute you can on the water.

1. Sunscreen

And not that SPF 30 crap, get the good zinc stuff. You know you'll be out there a while, your skin will thank you.

2. Water

Pre-hydrate, post-hydrate, have fun.

3. Pump

Such a bummer to go to borrow a pump and realize their nozzles don't fit your kite. Instead of waisting time pumping up your kite inefficiently, always keep your pump attached to the side of your bag and make the most of the wind.

4. Bar

You know... so you can kite.

5. Sunglasses

Nothing worse than burnt eyes.

6. Visine

In case you still get burnt eyes, or they had a good dose of salt water and sunscreen by the end of your session.

7. Hat/Helmet

You'll want one or the other depending on what type of kiter you are.

Big jumps or shallow coral a part of your kiting? I like the way BRAND helmets actually fit the head well and stay on.

Just cruisin'? Prevent sunburns and glare with a wide brim hat.

8. Chapstick

Chapped lips suck, stay happy, keep a chapstick in your bag.

9. Car key pouch

These waterproof pouches are awesome.

The bigger ones are useful if you kite at spots where it's fine to leave your key in your bag, I'll keep my sunglasses, Visine and chapstick in the pouch as well.

This tiny one is what I wear when I travel to a spot I don't want to leave my key. It doesn't annoy me while kiting, and keeps water out really well so the key doesn't rust with all the salt water.
