Donate Your Old Kites – Give a Second Life
Turn your retired kite into a ReKite Duffel.
Got an old kite gathering dust in the garage? Don’t throw it away.
Bring it to us and we’ll upcycle it into a unique, battle-tested ReKite Duffel — proudly handmade right here in South Africa.
Every XPLR Gear Duffel carries its own story: the wind it conquered, the sessions it survived, and now the adventures it’s ready for on the road, in the bush, or on the next overland trip.
Why donate your old kite?
Keep it out of landfill — High-performance kite fabric is tough, durable, and far too good to waste.
Support local craftsmanship — Your kite gets transformed by skilled hands in South Africa into something new and useful.
Why donate your old kite?
Get something back — Donate a suitable kite and receive special perks (discount on a new XPLR Gear eKite Duffel, priority access to limited upcycled drops, or a small thank-you gift*).
Join the movement — Help us build a more sustainable adventure gear ecosystem for South African nomads and travellers.
How it works:
Drop off or send us your old, retired kites (any condition — as long as the canopy fabric is still usable).
We carefully select and upcycle the best material into limited-edition ReKite Duffels and accessories.
Each bag is one-of-a-kind, with its own character and history.
Perfect for kitesurfers, wing foilers
And anyone in the Cape Town and Western Cape kite community who wants to close the loop on their gear.
Pack Once. Adventure More. — Even with your old kite.
Ready to donate?
Contact us or drop off at [your location / collection point].
We’ll let you know if your kite is suitable and what reward you’ll receive.
*Terms apply – limited to kites with sufficient usable ripstop canopy material.
