From a rider who rented with us

★★★★★

“Had a great experience with Puclaro Kitesurfing. I rented gear and everything was in excellent condition and ready to go. The team was very professional, transparent about conditions and options, and easy to communicate with throughout. They were also incredibly flexible – even accommodating a last-minute decision to add a lesson, which was handled smoothly and with great instruction. And the spot itself is amazing. Even when the forecast showed just 4–8 knots, it was blowing a solid ~25 knots on the dam lagoon. They clearly know the local wind patterns inside out. Highly recommend if you’re kiting at Puclaro.”

Gear rental FAQ

What level do I need to rent gear?

You need to ride independently: consistently ride upwind, body drag to recover your board, and know your quick release safety system well. If you are not there yet, we recommend starting with a private or group lesson.

How do you check my level?

Before handing over the gear, we ask about your experience and, if you have one, your IKO certification. We also watch your first minutes on the water. If you are not riding upwind yet, we stop the rental for your safety and suggest switching to a lesson.

When does the rental time start and end?

Rental time starts when we hand you the kite to set it up and ends when the kite is packed back in its bag.

How do I book and pay?

Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and the gear you need. To book, we ask for a deposit equal to 1 hour of rental; the balance is paid on your first day, before you receive the gear. Prices are in Chilean pesos (CLP).

What is the cancellation policy?

You get a 100% refund if you cancel 3 or more days in advance and 80% if you cancel less than 3 days in advance. Same-day cancellations and no-shows are not refunded.

What happens if there is no wind or conditions are unsafe?

If the wind does not allow riding or we consider it unsafe, you choose: a 100% refund, rescheduling to another day at no cost, or paying only for the time you actually rode.

Do you ask for a security deposit?

No. We do not ask for a security deposit; we only ask you to take care of the gear and return it in the same condition you received it.

What if the gear gets damaged?

Normal wear and tear is not charged. Damage from misuse, negligence or use outside what was agreed is charged at the actual repair or replacement cost, as stated in our Terms and Conditions.

Can I switch kite size if the wind changes?

Yes. Wind at Puclaro can go from 18 to over 30 knots within a few hours. If it picks up or drops, you can switch to a better size right at the spot, subject to availability.

Do you brief me on the spot before I go out?

Yes. Before you ride, we give you a briefing on the safety zones, the day’s gusts and the reservoir conditions.
