My biggest beef is kitebrands that mark their prices up only to have kite shops mark them down when you complain. If these companies truly want to compete they need to price their kites appropriately and put an end to the whole marking kites down the minute you show interest in them scheme. It definitely turned me off several brands, and hence I didn't buy from them, I feel that this is going to be an ongoing trend with the number of new kiters coming in.
Why buy one kite when you can get two kites for the same price?
