We've just launched a new program at Jacobsen Kites that we call "Giving back"

Kitesurfing changed our lives. It gave us freedom, perspective, and a way to connect with the ocean. So this is about opening that door for someone else.

It's a trade-in campaign, but with a bit more purpose behind it.

If you've got old gear lying around; kites, boards, bars, whatever - you can go to our website and instantly see what it's worth. That value turns into a discount on a new kite from us.

So you're upgrading your setup, but you're not just throwing your old gear in the corner or selling it for nothing. You're actually putting it back into circulation.

And here's the important part.. Everything that comes in through this campaign, up to 200 kites, we're donating. Not reselling. Not recycling for parts. Donating..

We're sending that gear to communities in the Global South, places where kitesurfing is growing, but the barrier to entry is still really high. We want to help change that.

So if you want to upgrade your setup and help someone else get into the sport at the same time, this is your chance.

Head over to our trade-in page and see what your old gear is worth.
