Is Recession Affecting your Kite Life?

Hiiyyyaaa folks!
Yesterday I was quite surprised. We had some really cool kiting conditions but I was taken aback when I saw that there was only 7 kiters on the beach. The region is generally crowded. Well trying to find some sense to this I came up with a question. Do you think these difficult global financial times are affecting your kite life? Do you still invest in new gears like you used to do before?
One thing is for sure, it will take more than a financial crisis to take out the passion out of us die-hard kiters!. I personally think that the kitemakers, IMO, are excessively crowding us with new models every year while in some cases there's only a simple change in colors. From what I have noticed, people are starting to spend wisely... and I cannot but help think that those small brands out there are facing a really difficult situation. For the competition, I hope they get over these hard times.
