ABOUT US
We help you find your next adventure
If you seek special kitesurf adventures on amazing locations and want to make sure to ride in ideal conditions you came to the right place. bstoked is the ultimate resource for exploring incredible spots around the globe and experiencing kiteboarding in every imaginable way: from cruises, camps, safaris, luxurious retreats to road trips and expeditions to places where no kites ever flew before. Essentially everything but boring touristy packages on crowded spots.
This is how we believe modern kite travel should be. We hope you will enjoy exploring our ever growing collection of kitesurf trips and treat yourself with one soon.
How does it work?
bstoked is at its core a platform that enables independent tour organisers, schools and experienced local riders to host sports experiences, which travelers can book directly from them. Selected hosts – we call them buddies – can thus make money by sharing local spot knowledge and offering sports experiences on spots they know best.
As a traveler you are in for authentic sports adventures on stunning spots, which can't be found elsewhere online. bstoked makes it easy for you to find and book action sports experiences by minimising planning, risks and costs while optimising your overall sports and travel experience.
The Community
bstoked builds a community from kitesurfers to kitesurfers. Essentially it's the bstoked community that runs the “show”. The kitesurf experiences are user generated and the bstoked community decides, which offers are the best and will thus be more visible to users. We encourage users to provide independent reviews of experienced trips and to share kitesurf and travel advice with the community. We hope you will get involved and help us build a worldwide database of reviews and spot ratings – based on your actual experiences!
bstoked users can also connect with other kitesurfers in order to plan or share kitesurf trips. This can help to cut costs and to get together a group of like minded riders for a kitesurf adventure.
The Platform
Organising action sports travel can be a hassle: it's time-consuming, risky and you are likely to spend more than you ought to. bstoked therefore developed a platform that can match your personal preferences with listed trips and services, independent data about spot conditions (e.g. wind, wave, weather), user ratings, flights, ... In other words, you can keep your independent travel ways but skip the daunting task of cross checking all the necessary information for planning such a trip. bstoked does it for you!
Hosts can list complete trips such as camps and cruises or specialised services such as accommodation, guidance, gear rental, lessons, and more. Listings are automatically enhanced with independent sports and travel data, media content, user reviews, and easy access to third-party services such as flight information and insurance. This adds value to the user generated offers.
We make sure that only trustworthy and dedicated hosts and suppliers can offer services on our platform. With our best prices guarantee we save you the time to look elsewhere.
