Yeah, pretty much every kite you used to see here was best, since they had a (factory? distribution centre?) nearby that would throw deals to locals. when they shut that down cabrinha slowly took over, i think im the only one with any best kites that i know of. I still have 1/2 dozen Best kites. My...
Do you remember this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iw5AIkx5u8 Although many kites and brands have seen good days with me since then, I still ride my 2008 Best Nemesis 10 meter to this day and have only replaced the bridal lines. In those days, the Best forum was rocking with users and feedback. ...
I see your points. I have not bought a used kite yet though I have been looking since I need a kite size that I will probably use very little. I can say first hand that if you advertise a used kite for a high price, it scares me away right off and shows to me an unwillingness to negotiate a fair pri...
here is my thought on the used kite market. Lower your freaken asking prices. You think I'm going to buy a used kite from some joe blow who I know nothing about and who knows how the kite was taken care of and your asking 20% off of retail because the kite is still crispy???

So what if this is a silly topic. I notice a lot if kite clubs and that most are outside the US and most cater to non US kiters. Us that a bad stereo type or just an observation based on facts. So instead if turning this into hate wars, how bout tell us where your from and where you typically go for...
Wow. Interesting responses. I can assure you I'm not a troll. It was just an observation I have made while reading the different experiences people gave had from different parts of the world on this forum. Hey, no hating on the Americans. Definitely did not mean to impose a stereotype on the advance...
It seems to me that the Europeans are all into these kite resort type vacations where they spend 3-4 weeks at some kite club in some far off Country and are willing to spend their entire years savings on a kite trip. They like all inclusive resorts with beach boys and kite launchers and rescue boats...
