Forty1 Kitesurfing is a trademark of a design consultancy that specialises in developing equipment f

We started the design company in Portsmouth, on the south coast of the UK, specialising in Kitesurfing equipment. We are privileged to live close to some of the best locations to kitesurf within the UK. We have expertise in plastic, metals, design and manufacturing and are bringing this into the sport we love doing. It is important for us to engage the local clubs and communities to find out what they need. We are eager to listen to your thoughts and ideas (as well as our own!)

Hi All, after we were contacted by a customer in Europe asking to buy our Fin Softies. We added the delivery option and were ecstatic that we managed to get them safely through customs with the extra paperwork. We've kept the delivery option open so EU customers will now be able to buy these.

The idea for these came about after scuffing up the inside of our car and punching a hole through a board bag. Simply slip them over your fins to prevent them from creating havoc during transport.

Fun session! But no one else on the water? Just a few foil boards out there. Was ripping it along myself, must be my new slicer fins in action! :) :) (maybe also the Cabrina and the custom Stryder board)

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Hi all, it has been a really long while since I have had time to post! Time is a massive factor these days so keeping things simple. One of the things we learned from the Hydrofin project is people love to try out new ideas, also in order to generate new ideas we need to find and develop other ways to manufacture, so that we can keep costs down whilst selling smaller batches. And whilst 3D printing offered a low cost option, the time to print and finishing requirements makes it not that practical.

The idea? To develop fin cuts from a thin quality carbon fibre sheet. This ultimately allows us to change materials, change shape and explore overmoulding options in the future.

For the moment, we have a couple of sets of the basic concept on offer at a discounted price, but if you have anything thoughts or questions about where else we would like to go with this, get in touch!

Last week, our last easy roller travel bag sold. We hope those who bought it are extremely happy with the purchase.

It was a fun project, hampered by the pandemic, sales eventually flourished.

Unfortunately time and storage means this is not something we can continue with. Operations need to be scaled back. That is not to say there isn't something new in the pipeline :)

All the best.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas!

We've had a very busy end of year for many different reasons and barely made it out onto the water. Settling down now and looking forward to adventures and progress through 2021!

Hope you all have a fantastic new year!

As restrictions begin to lift and we're seeing kites back over the water, we're pleased to say we've started selling our Easy Roller travel bag again for a temporarily reduced price of £80. Just a little deal to help you get excited for your future adventures!

Hi all, in view on the current situation and the recommendations from the BKSA, I've suspended all shipping of our products, it also seems sensible not to be unnecessary load on the delivery services at the moment.

I will continue to monitor the situation and let you know when we're back online.

Stay healthy!
