Another new brand

Postby Dr_Rosen » Sat Jun 21, 2008 5:54 am

Yet another new kite manufacturer: http://www.wainmanhawaii.com/

How many are we counting? I cannot believe they can all be making money??

New kite companies take an enormous risk entering the market but they also challenge the manufactures that are already established into creating better products.

Yeah well, I can even use the delete buttom if things written are misunderstood and/or written while feeling insulted.

Never heard of the brand, but not the point at all. Point was there are an immense amount of brands and they can't all be making money. Some consolidation must be about to happen when comparing to the windsurf industry?

***EDIT***
---- I changed the picture to one thats actually being produced. ----

The kite in the picture isn't one of the ones they're producing. Sorry if thats caused any confusion. Their production kites are quite a bit different.
