Premium gear holds its value — so trade up every season. Because we only stock brands that hold strong resale value, upgrading your setup costs far less than you’d think. Bring your old gear, get credit toward new, and keep good kit in the local community.

How it works

1. Tell us what you’ve got — message us on WhatsApp (087 144 8888) or email paddyintheelements@gmail.com with the make, model, year and a few photos.
2. We’ll quote your trade-in value — fair, honest, based on condition and demand.
3. Put it toward your new kit — the credit comes straight off a new kite, board, wing or foil.

Starting from scratch? Buy your first setup through our packages or the online shop and it qualifies for trade-in when you’re ready to move up.

What we take

Trade-in is for gear originally bought from us, in the brands we stock and can re-home, in good working order: North, Ozone, Core, Appletree, Lieuwe and Code Foils. If you didn’t buy it here we can’t take it in — but ask us about ex-demo deals. Not sure if yours qualifies? Just ask.

Buying second hand kitesurfing gear in Ireland

Looking for second hand kitesurfing gear in Ireland? Buying used from a marketplace ad is a gamble — no history, no inspection, no comeback if the bladder's gone or the bar's on its last legs. Every used kite, board, wing and foil we sell is different: it was originally sold by us, traded back in, and checked over by us before it goes back on the shelf. Known history, honest condition notes, and real people to deal with if anything's wrong. Browse what's in right now on our Ex-Demo & Clearance page — stock changes as trade-ins come through, so check back or WhatsApp us and tell us what you're after.

Try before you trade up

Not sure what to move to? Try it first at one of our demo days — and your demo fee comes off the price if you buy.

Traded-in gear is checked over and resold on our Ex-Demo & Clearance page, so someone local gets a great deal too. Start your trade-in →
