Kiteboarding involves a lot of gear. Sometimes, our brain forgets a few essential accessories.

Without them, we can easily miss the session of our dreams - so, print this kite equipment checklist.

It's the ultimate kiteboarder's checklist. Kiteboarding has so many large and small equipment items that it is hard not to leave something behind.

With time, we think we've packed everything, but then we forget that irreplaceable kite pump.

Check it before you go. Here's the complete kiteboarding gear list:
