KITEBOARD AND SURF WETSUITS
Our wetsuit collection will keep you warm during your
kite session regardless of the conditions and look cool at the same time.
During the warmer seasons, you might prefer a shorty or super shorty wetsuit
which covers your thighs but not calves.
Shorty wetsuits come in long and short sleeve.

If you came to kitesurfing from a non-wind water sport like surfing,
swimming or diving and want to use your current wetsuit,
you’re probably not using the best suit for kiteboarding.

We learned from Mystic Waterwear that one of the biggest differences
between a wetsuit made for kitesurfing is the use of nylon one-sided
-- aka “smooth skin” -- material in strategically placed positions on the body.

Kite and surf suits for women
OUR VISION AT BIG BLUE BOARDS
We want to change kiteboarding from an ego-driven sport to a community sport.
Sharing joy, successes and failures, is what kite women empowerment is all about.
We are no pros, but we are professionally stoked about kitesurfing. We don’t kite like men because "kite like a woman“ is a compliment for us.
Our kiteboards will not only make you look good and feel confident.
They provide you with the boost you need to progress faster.
