Murray’s Sports

Murray’s is a little known shop nestled in between Ventura and Santa Barbara in Carpinteria that surprised me for their selection, great prices, knowledgeable staff, and laid back nature. The shop is at it’s core a catamaran parts and repair shop, however they also carry an impressive selection of kiteboarding, surfing, wind sailing, and paddling gear. Their website (
) shows a lot of their merchandise and prices. They carry predominantly liquid force kiteboarding gear, but also have other brands in stock as well. Great deals at a location that is much closer to SB and Ventura than making the drive all the way to Long Beach or the Bay. Dre, the salesman there and point person for the kiteboarding gear, was super helpful and took the time to explain things to me as a newcomer to the sport. Definitely recommend this place as a local shop for kiteboarding.
