To our valued customers:

Yes, Big Winds has a big beautiful store in the heart of Windsurf, Kiteboard and SUP Heaven, stocked to the roof with the best selection of performance equipment for all three sports, staffed with friendly expert core athletes who are in the game. And yes, we’ve been open everyday, pretty much year round for 23 years, shipping all over the planet, and happy to offer our take on any question you might have.

But we also know that today everyone is looking for the best value and we are committed to offering just that. We want to make sure that you’re not paying more for shopping with us. We’re happy to meet or beat anyone’s prices on the same great gear we sell.

Sometimes we have even lower prices available on our products than we are allowed to publish on our website. If you’re shopping for a new Windsurf, Kiteboard, or SUP package, PLEASE CALL US. We want to make sure that you get the best price on the best gear that’s right for you and fits your budget.

Thanks.
