What is a verified second-hand item?

It's equipment meticulously inspected by our rider technicians before being put on sale, ensuring you get gear in excellent working order. Unlike private listings, every item undergoes a rigorous inspection based on our extensive experience.

Our Verification Process

For kites and wings, we meticulously check the fabric, struts, seams, valves, and watertightness, as well as the bridles and attachment points. For foils, we inspect the Front Wing and rear wing, mast, fuselage, screw set, and inserts. For boards, we verify the watertightness, deck, rails, and inserts. For bars and harnesses, we rigorously test the safety system, lines, and seams. Any item with a major defect is never put on sale.

Why buy second-hand?

Opting for checked second-hand gear means 30 to 50 percent savings, allowing you to get fully equipped or diversify your quiver with the safety of equipment inspected by people who ride daily. It's also an eco-responsible approach: glisse gear is designed to last for years, and giving it a second life significantly reduces the sport's environmental footprint. Our team is here to guide you to the perfect equipment, tailored to your level, body size/build, and local conditions.

Our Consignment Service

Looking to sell your gear? Simply bring it to our shop in Pornichet. We'll evaluate it together, considering its condition, age, and current market value. Then, we'll craft the perfect listing, put it online, and manage all inquiries and the transaction. You get paid as soon as the item sells, with a commission between 15 and 20 percent, depending on the type of equipment. It's the ideal way to finance your new gear by reselling your old.

What Budget Should You Plan For?

As a guide, excluding premium gear: to start kitesurfing, expect to spend around 800 to 1.€300 for a second-hand pack, which typically includes a versatile kite, a twin-tip board, and a harness. To start wing foiling, budget approximately 1.700 to 2.€700 for a stable foil, a high-volume board, and a wing. Buying second-hand also lets you complete your quiver with additional sizes without breaking the bank.
