Give your old kitesurf sail a second life.
At Upwind, we transform used kitesurf sails into custom Canopy Jackets — durable, functional, and made to last another 20 years.
Each jacket is handcrafted between Sri Lanka and France, combining circular design, high-performance fabric, and a deep respect for the ocean.
What once rode the wind becomes your next favorite piece.
Why Recycle your Kite?
By choosing to upcycle your kite/wing, you can close the loop — transforming technical waste into a unique, personalized jacket that carries your story.
By recycling your kite, you:
- Reduce textile waste and carbon footprint
- Extend the life of high-performance materials
- Join a growing movement for circular kitewear innovation
