Re: New LE material

Probably because I don't know the context. The only real way for Aluula to survive is to scale and you really cannot do it by producing 300 Ocean Rodeo kites a year (I dunno how many kites they sell..I am just stating a low number to make a point). TBH, I think Aluula should attack the tent industry...

Re: New LE material

Not all, Aluula was developed by Ocean Rodeo with a group of Victoria, BC chemists and engineers who kite, and spun off into a new company to provide the new materials to other kite brands and high performance applications - https://aluula.com/brand-story/ That is not what the site you link to says...

Re: Warning. United airlines charging $150 for kiteboard

IMHO, United has always been the worst about baggage fee add-ons. United once charged me full fare for a bicycle even though my bicycle had been stolen days before my flight and all I was checking as luggage was an empty box. :angryfire: Delta did me worse. They charged me $250 to check in my kiteb...

Re: Warning. United airlines charging $150 for kiteboard

Fly Alaska. They charge $25 for surf kite etc. I had 3 bags SUP wing board, wings kites kiteboards. I get some bags for free and paid because thew bags were WAY over weight. I am obviously not complaining about paying $35 extra for a bag that weight 90lb on a flight from HI to CA. In many cases they...

Re: 2023 Naish Pivot S27

What is it you didn't like about the S25 9m? I think the S25 9m is heavier (more dacron in the frame and more material in general) with consequences on the flight characteristics (e.g., worst drift and easier to fall from the sky with slack or with little wind). It is probably also more sensible to...

Re: Naish acquired by Kubus Sports

I heard between 10-15 million. US dollars. As Naish probably have more retailers worldwide than most brands. There sup is massive and the windsurfing side is big as well. That makes more sense he sold his house for 15 millions no way he was going to sell his company for 500K like someone said earli...

Re: Naish acquired by Kubus Sports

How sad! I'm sure the Octopus has to do with this. I loved tribal designs. You mean because they got rid of the octopus system? No, I meant the octopus was the culprit of Naish selling the company. I never liked the octopus. But it was just a bad joke. I'm sure it had nothing to do with it. haha ye...
