Best Kiteboarding and Real Kiteboarding in Bed

Postby Still Here » Sun Jan 25, 2004 5:25 pm

Hmmm....view Real Kiteboarding's ad on pg. 25 of the new Kiteboarding
magazine and you will see Best's logo included in the list of brands Real sells? This is strange since Best says they are only selling online via their site. The whole BEST thing is beginning to stink!

Support the brands that got you where you are and the dealers/shops that helped out. Brands with 3-4 years of R&D ahead of BEST are still a much better deal and there are so many 2003 kites selling at much better
prices anyway.

Later...

Hurray more bullshit talk about best.

I have not even had one lesson, nore made one post on this board, and already i'm sick of this whole best business. Seriously.. :roll:

All this rumor mongering is doing nothing but put them in the limelight even more. If you dont f@#king like them, shut up about them.

Then you are really not in a position to talk about it then, are you! No one has ever tried this business model, It might be a good thing.

i would imagine that there is enough money is bests margins to give a little for the dealer service that the biggest retailer in the US can provide.

if best kites allow people to buy from real and enter the market then real might figure that they are going to buy accesories and other stuff from them as well. so even if best are only giving them $50 per sale, real stand to make more money from the continued expansion of the sport.

everyone wins.
except you guys with the crowded beaches....

Did you read my post? I'm not talking about the business model or kites, I'm talking about the hype. all this bullshit rumormongering etc. Anyway - replying to this thread was contradictory to what I was saying so I'll shut up now.

btw When i said "best business" i should have maybe said "best sewing circle crap". I dont mean the business itself.

I have got good amount of kit from Real and I have found them to be soild guys they carry a lot of different kit which is all rider tested. The reason they are stocking Best is because he might be friends with Trip and Matt I am guessing this as Real also import Jimmy boards and Jimmy and is friends with Mr.S.Best but none of this is fact just guess work. The guys at Real can answer if they want. I am only pimping for them as I think it is a great store and if a Best kites are as good as the hype why not try before you buy
