KITESURFING KIT RENTAL

BUKS is now offering kit rental for members!

 

Before booking, you must speak to a committee member and answer a few questions, as we cannot give out kit unless we know that you are safe on the water. You drop us a DM on our socials, join the Whatsapp group chat, send an email over, or text our president directly (07488583913). https://linktr.ee/uobkitesurfing

 

When you buy the ticket, then your kit can be collected from the SU by a committee member who will meet you there (you will need to organize this with them).

we have lots of kit available including:

wetsuits of almost all sizes, kites (ranging from 5m to 13.5m), boards (including a surf board), bars, leashes, harnesses (seat and waist), pumps, helmets, and a foil board 

you must have a BUKS membership to rent our kit

 

PRICE

we want kitesurfing to be as accessible as possible so we're charging an incredibly reduced rate of £10/day for a full set of kit plus a wetsuit

One item is £5 a day.


University of Bristol Kitesurfing Equipment Rental Agreement (The important safety bit)

In consideration of the provision of equipment by the University of Bristol Kitesurfing Society (BUKS) for the purpose of my participation in kitesurfing, I hereby acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions:

I assert that I am a proficient kitesurfer with a minimum skill level of IKO Level 3, which entails the following capabilities:

  • Control riding speed

  • Consistent riding in all directions, including upwind

  • Safely navigating amidst other riders and water users while respecting right-of-way rules

  • Changing direction without stopping

  • Executing self-rescue and full pack down in the water

  • Swimming at least 25 meters unaided

I understand that if I do not meet the criteria listed above or if I am not at IKO Level 3, I am strongly advised not to use the equipment provided by BUKS. I am encouraged to take a lesson with a certified BUKS instructor to attain the requisite Level 3 proficiency.

In order to utilize any equipment from BUKS, I understand that I am required to:

  • Maintain third-party insurance (through BKSA or a comparable provider)

  • Accept responsibility for the replacement or reimbursement of any lost equipment

  • Wear a helmet, rash vest, and wetsuit at all times

  • Return the equipment to the designated location in good condition and store it appropriately

I acknowledge that if I fail to meet the stated criteria or falsify my competence level, I will be responsible for all costs related to equipment damage.

As the renter specified below, I hereby express my desire to rent kitesurfing equipment from BUKS. I understand that I bear full responsibility for the equipment and accept complete accountability for theft, loss, and unreasonable damage. Upon payment of my membership and rental fees, I accept sole responsibility for all rented equipment.

Should any incident involving the equipment occur due to my own actions or those of another party, I will cover all costs related to damage, theft, or loss up to the full value of the equipment.

 

Basically, don't be a dick, look after the kit, and don't rent if you can't kitesurf yet. (Come to Tarifa instead!)  :)
