CrazyFly for kite schools

Factory school packages from CrazyFly: boards, bindings, kites and bars in one shipment. We are an official dealer and a kite school ourselves since 2006 — we match the kit to your spot and quote delivery to your country.

Packages ship to schools only

That is the manufacturer's condition, not our paperwork: school pricing exists for people who teach, and it does not extend to private orders. To quote you we need the school confirmed — usually two minutes of messaging.

  • School name and the country it operates in.
  • Website, social page or association listing — anything where the school is visible.
  • Association, if you have one: IKO, VDWS, a national federation. Not required, but it speeds things up.
  • A contact person and the messenger you prefer.

Six packages

The contents are the factory's, not ours — quantities are quoted verbatim from the CrazyFly price list. Packages 1–3 come without kites: boards, bindings and consumables. Packages 4–6 add Sculp kites with Savvy bars.

Package 1

Budget lessons

Boards
3 × Acton · 2 × Cruiser LW
Bindings
5 × Binary III
Beyond the hardware
5 items

A two- or three-instructor school that teaches and does not rent yet. Five boards cover three simultaneous lessons plus a spare.

Package 2

Budget lessons + rental

Boards
3 × Acton · 3 × Cruiser LW · 2 × Rootz
Bindings
6 × Binary III · 2 × Lock II
Beyond the hardware
5 items

The same school with rental on top. The Rootz boards and Lock II bindings are the rental half — the Lock adjusts to a stranger's foot faster.

Package 3

Lessons + rental

Boards
3 × Acton · 3 × Cruiser LW · 2 × Rootz · 2 × Raptor LTD Neon
Bindings
6 × Binary III · 4 × Lock II
Beyond the hardware
5 items

Rental you can offer a rider who already knows how: the Raptor LTD Neon is a carbon board, not a school plank. People come back for it.

Package 4

Budget lessons with kites

Boards
3 × Acton · 2 × Cruiser LW
Bindings
5 × Binary III
Kites and bars
3 × Sculp · 2 × Savvy bar
Beyond the hardware
7 items

The first turnkey kit for a new school: boards, bindings and three Sculp kites with bars. The sand bags and pump are what a first day on the beach stops without.

Package 5

Budget lessons + rental with kites

Boards
3 × Acton · 3 × Cruiser LW · 2 × Rootz
Bindings
6 × Binary III · 2 × Lock II
Kites and bars
6 × Sculp · 3 × Savvy bar
Beyond the hardware
7 items

Six kites make a size range rather than a pile. You can put a student on the right square metre instead of whichever one is free.

Package 6

Lessons + rental with kites

Boards
3 × Acton · 3 × Cruiser LW · 2 × Rootz · 2 × Raptor LTD Neon
Bindings
6 × Binary III · 4 × Lock II
Kites and bars
8 × Sculp · 4 × Savvy bar
Beyond the hardware
7 items

A full season for a school with rental. It makes sense when the flow is already there; otherwise half the kit sits in the container until next year.

Why there are no prices here

A school price is never the same for everyone: it depends on the contents, the rate on the day of order and on where it goes — Mui Ne, Crimea and Hainan mean three different freight routes and three different customs. Posting an average figure that will change in the conversation anyway would be dishonest. Tell us about your school and where to ship, and you get a quote within one working day, split into hardware and delivery.

What to pick — briefly and honestly

Acton and Cruiser LW play different roles

The Acton is the cheap teaching board you don't mind scratching. The Cruiser LW is bigger and lighter in the wind: in light air — and Mui Ne is light until noon — a student gets up on it noticeably sooner. A school running only Actons loses its mornings.

Binary III versus Lock II

The Binary is the teaching workhorse: cheaper, simpler. The Lock II adjusts to a stranger's foot faster, which is what matters in rental, where five people pass through one board in a day. That is why every rental package has the Lock next to the Binary, not instead of it.

The Sculp is a school kite, and that is not marketing

A student drops the kite on the water twenty times a lesson. What matters is not top-end pull but how the kite comes back up and how late a relaunch it forgives. The Sculp forgives. The Nuke is absent from school packages for exactly that reason — it is a kite for someone who already rides.

Don't buy the biggest one first

Package 6 pays off when the flow is already there. A school starting out is served by the first or second, and kites can be added a season later, once you can see which sizes your spot actually lacks. We will say this even when you'd rather buy more.

Why through us

We are a school, not only a shop

K1 has run since 2006 — an IKO centre in Mui Ne and in Crimea. We teach on this gear every day, so what we say about the Cruiser LW in light wind doesn't come from a catalogue.

Official CrazyFly dealer

Shipments come from the factory in Slovakia and the manufacturer's warranty applies in full. No grey channels, no "equivalents".

The logistics a school usually doesn't have

EXW Slovakia means everything past the warehouse door is on you. We take that on: freight, documents, customs, delivery to the spot. You get the total before you pay, not after.

Advice costs nothing

Tell us about your wind, your season and your student flow and we'll propose a kit for it. If a cheaper package turns out to be enough, we'll say so.

Supply terms

  • Operating kite schools only — the manufacturer's requirement.
  • 100% prepayment. Also CrazyFly's condition for school packages, not our idea.
  • Base prices are EXW Slovakia. Freight, cargo insurance and customs are calculated separately and shown as their own line.
  • The contents can be changed. A factory set is cheaper than a custom one — swapping items recalculates the price, and not always downwards.
  • Lead time depends on factory stock. Order ahead of the season: autumn clears the warehouse fast.

Frequently asked questions

Can we build a kit that isn't on the list?

Yes, the contents can be changed for your school. The price is recalculated though: a factory set is cheaper because the factory assembles it in a batch. Sometimes the nearest package plus one or two separate items works out better — we'll price both.

What about warranty?

Full manufacturer's warranty, same as retail. The goods ship from the factory, so a warranty case is handled by CrazyFly rather than by us as a favour.

How long is delivery?

It depends on the route and factory stock. You get the exact lead time together with the price — before payment, not after. We won't promise "two weeks anywhere": by sea to Vietnam that would be untrue.

We're not a school. Can we buy a package?

No. The manufacturer ships school packages to schools only, and we won't work around that. The same models are available individually in our catalogue at normal retail prices.

Do packages 1–3 really have no kites?

They really don't. They are boards, bindings and consumables — for schools that already have kites and need to refresh the board fleet. Kites come with packages 4–6.

Can we add single items to a package?

Yes: fins, screws, spare bindings, bars, pumps. A school gets through consumables faster than it expects — take fins and screws with a margin from the start.

Tell us about your school

Write where you operate, how many instructors you have and what gear is already there. You'll get a quote within one working day. If it turns out you don't need a package, we'll say that too.
