Really great advice and service. The true testament for me though is that there was an issue beyond their control and they went to extreme lengths to get it fixed very quickly. I was really amazed by the service and definitely wont be shopping anywhere elsewhere for Kiteboarding equipment in the future.

Bought online and the process was super simple, great advice through chat platformEven though the product was “used” it was in pristine shape and great packaging, pretty much could have been new…Solid shop, will buy again from there for sure!

Great service. I bought my waydoo efoil from them. They have been awesome to work with. They seem like a group of individuals who actually cares about the satisfaction of their customers and will go out of their way to keep you riding! If you are considering buying a Waydoo i wouldnt hesitate to use these guys. I specifically chose them because they are a reputable established US company. Waydoo should take notice on how these guys sale and distribute the brand!

What a great experience. Having been let down by a local supplier who didnt have the stock they said they did MACKite came through for me and got my order to me in the UK in three days. Thank you!

Decided to buy local on a recommendation from a friend and could not be happier with our MacKite experience and in particular dealing with Logan and team purchasing our first electric bikes. Some things I’ll mention... patience, no pressure, knowledge and of course top of the line products! Trust me they delivered. Looking forward to continued business and service with these guys and would like to state, do NOT hesitate to consider this establishment and team to take care of your outdoor equipment needs! You will be smiling. Many thanks to them all!

We made two trips both close to an hour each way to visit the store with calling for information beforehand. The first trip we arrived to a closed store that we were told was open. The second trip we made the next day we arrived, again calling to confirm that the store was open and someone was there to help us. We were told to meet Pat at the side of the building. After standing in the rain outside we were yelled at by store staff when we opened the door. Worst customer service experienced ever. We have multiple businesses in the West Michigan area and would never recommend this company to anyone.

Customer service is best in the industry.This was my second time purchasing off of MACkites website and I was looking to put together a foil package. After a quick phone call I was all set up with a new foil, board, and bag all while getting a slight discount by purchasing multiple items together.10/10 will shop here again.

GREAT KB place. Ryan and Chris and Roxy could not have been nicer or more informative. New guy, passing by, gained months, maybe years of knowledge from them. Good selection and lots of hands on stuff. The go-to place in the MI area and online.

Excellent! The price is better than anywhere else. Customer service is great. I finally got to use my equipment during my first lessons. My instructor told me I got a great deal. I will continue using MACKite to purchase more goods as I embark in my Kiteboarding Journey. Oh and Im in Florida.

Amazing service. Really informed on what we were looking at. They actually used what they were selling instead of selling me something on a shelf. Recommend for anyone looking for eboard or eskate stuff.

I purchased a foil set up from mackiteboarding. Foil, board, bag, some accessories. I found the staff helpful and knowledgeable at every point during this purchase.Unfortunately one of the items I had ordered was soon determined to be out of stock, while the other part of my order had shipped. They quickly replaced the missing item with an upgrade at no extra cost, and shipped quickly.Overall very impressed and I will definitely look to mackiteboarding in the future!

The MACKite crew is a community of very active kiteboarders who clearly love the sport and are deeply knowledgeable. My wife and I did a two day intro course and bought a really nice starter kit afterwards. Here are our impressions:- We thought the sport looked super fun but didnt know people who do it so we took the plunge for a lesson. It is definitely an investment so we really hoped the instructor would be competent and make good use of our time (and money). We were not let down! There is a lot to cover in 8 hours and Alex used time efficiently without rushing. You really do need to focus on each task!- The training site is safe and functional. Safety was a strong emphasis in everything.- Small class size limited to three people is great, and essential really. We just had two and that was ideal.- The class is geared toward teaching the basics you need to know to go out and practice safely on your own (not solo, but unguided with friends) and they really work to get you there. We feel and our instructor feels that we got there (though there is still much to study and practice).- They were flexible with scheduling sessions to accommodate wind.- The shop is awesome, everybody we met associated with teaching or retail absolutely loved the sport. They all wanted to share their love and help us not only get started but continue to play beyond the lessons, giving tips for good spots, used gear options. We talked with several people before committing to the gear and nobody pushed us into it, just shared inspiration and advice from experience.- When we went for the gear they worked with us on price and upgrades since we had done the lesson.- Be prepared for the spend, but if its anything like other amazing pieces of gear weve bought, like packrafts and backcountry skis, youll never regret having bought it if you use it!- Finally, competent people can be hard to find in the world. This place has them.

I got my first quiver thru Mackite and Ryan (RYGO) help me then. I had very little knowledge and looking back I see he picked the best gear for learning and progressing. I always ask for him when I call for gear and info and I couldnt say enough about how knowledgeable and helpful he is. Thanks for making this a great experience RYGO. You rock!
