About Us

Freak Dog Kites was founded by Scott Polera in April of 2007. Scott has been passionate about kiteboarding for nearly a decade and he has always had a vision of bringing top quality, yet simple to use kiteboarding gear at affordable prices to kiters in North America. After extensive research of kite designers and manufacturers in the industry, he has found a perfect match to accomplish his goal – Eric Hertsens of EH Kiteboarding.

Freak Dog Kites has teamed up with Eric and developed an entire line of kites, lines, harnesses and boards to be released in North America under Freak Dog Kites flag. Years of research and keeping up with the newest technology are behind these kites. Each kite design is tested daily by professional riders and amateurs alike prior to its release. In this process the kites are ridden hard in various conditions to test their performance. They are crashed and smashed to test their durability and if necessary, adjustments are made to make the gear better. At the factory level, Freak Dog Kites always chooses the highest quality grade of materials available. As a result, we are able to deliver best end product to the marketplace with superior quality of construction, design and craftsmanship.

Freak Dog Kites’ primary focus is kiteboarding, but we are also all about an active, fun and being true, to whatever your passion is, lifestyle. That’s why we have created the Freak Dog Nation Campaign and we invite you to become a part of it. Everyone has a little “Freak” in them, so if you are into extreme sports or completely consumed with whatever your passion in life is, and want to share your story with us, your friends and the world, join us at www.freakdognation.com and upload your profile, pictures and videos very soon.
