vk was calling the criminalty of those who damaged the property and goods of best employees and riders, not best.


scott: you are way off the mark with your knowledge of Bests early activities, we came direct to customers becasue no shops would stock the kites, as they feared fallout from disgruntled distributors who supplied their other brands and didnt have space for another brand.

the intention has always been to do without distribution, doing it without shops initially was the only way into the market and it also gave us the margin back to be able to run the 3 for 2 for so long.

in effect it was retailers reluctance to take the brand that allowed best to sell direct and pass the saving direct to customers in the shape of the 3 for 2 deal.

Hey SQ,

Thing is everything about your business works fine. Best website, best service, nice design (Waroo Pro) but your PR on this forum sucks!! I don't know your whole story, but I think you guys went about things the wrong way personally in the beginning. Not perhaps from a business point of view, but from a gaining respect point of view I think so.

My reference to second rate, is that your designs, (pre 05) or the ones we've seen, Hellfish, BFK and the others just haven't matched the equivalent models of the same year from other brands. To quantify it by numbers isn't possible, but the general consences from fellow kiters is they just don't match the Rhinos, Contras. I've seen them all fly and I'd agree.

When it comes to flat kites, this appears to be a different story, having seen some poor offerings from other brands. I would secretly admit that I enjoyed my session on the 16m Waroo and if Cabrinha didn't have their stuff I'd grudingly be forced to buy one.

I have no doubt you guys have the passion about your brand, but when Gumball starts threads like this one it just ain't cool. The guy probably has too much spare time right now with the broken leg, but I don't think it excuses it personally.

And the fellow is right in that threads like this just bring the worst of people!!

Say while we’re at perhaps VK give the examples & merits he based his comments of unethical behavior that lead to the criminal behavior statement on.

Please enlighten us all and provide the details to both side of your ‘cause & effect’ equation.

Least we not forget, or be spun to believe otherwise, but it was VK’s legal genius that first lead us all off on the this tangent/bunny hole

You are right in that regard, should have read though more carefully while typing in the heat of the moment.


I'm guilty of that as well.
