About Us

Eclipse was founded in 2006 by Chris Cousins, from the start the goal was to offer our friends and fellow riders a product which was specifically designed for them. We believe you need to have passion for this sport in order to be successful, so with that in mind we made sure our entire team was made up from active kiteboarders. All of us plan our day around the wind. We all love our jobs and we want to pass on our enjoyment and passion to the riders. If one of our kites didn't work for us we know it won't work for you, if we don't like a kite we don't make it.

We are determined to make the highest performing quality product on the market. In 2007 as a new company we had the unique advantage of seeing the direction the industry was heading and took our time to improve our designs to a point they could dominate. Or philosophy appears to be working, as many agree that eclipse is now the fastest growing kite brand. For 2009 our design philosophy has not changed much, only now we had to find a way to make our kites better. For 2008 we spend almost triple the amount of time on R&D and design, now for 2009 we spend allot more time and added several new products including a wave kite, boards, snow kite and also a new C kite in the works. We literally tested our kites from Hong Kong to OBX then to Greece and back. We enlisted the help of Pro's and professional engineers but most important we had average riders help us design our kites better, simpler and smarter. After a lengthy R&D process spread over 3 continents we were able to create the 2009 Nano, Thruster, KIMA, Poacher and the all new eclipse board line.

Our kites are the result of endless workdays, extensive testing, hours of phone calls, endless e-mails and extensive planning. We didn't leave anything up to chance. We took our time to be sure that we would be able to offer the highest quality equipment available with amazing performance and value oriented pricing. At Eclipse we believe that the customers drive our company and that is why we designed amazing kites that are sure to satisfy every rider's need, additionally we now offer the industry’s ONLY Bullet Proof warranty which covers all repairs NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!! Whether you are a recreational rider, seasoned free rider or experienced pro Eclipse has a kite specifically designed for you.

Once again thank you for interest in our company. Enjoy the ride.

Thanks,

The Eclipse Team
