Kitty Hawk manned up and did the right thing. They did it with class and with humility...I spoke too soon...My bad, just so burned from ebay scammers I knee-jerk ripped into them and didn't give them a chance to make it right.

I would and will do business with Kitty Hawk Kites again.

Have you reviewed any of your very very few comments lately?...Seems like attacking members is your fortay:

It must be a little embarrassing for you...come on...I will buy you a new board if you promise to piss off and shut the f**ck up. I'll even buy you another one when you start whining again 4 years from now when you break that one. Seriously....I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination but I would be more than willing to put up the cash to see you go away.

No, I just don't like scumbags, or Democrats...Both are a boil upon the ass of America...Kitty Hawk Kites will get the benefit of the doubt from me, because Jesus teaches us redneck conservatives to forgive.

Where do you people come from? You have a few posts and then BAMMM!!! you dive in as judge, jury and executioner, pretending as if you have a vast knowledge of everything and everyone on this forum.

Opportunist?...What hole did you crawl out of?

Re: Kitty Hawk Kites stands behind EVERY Sale!

Sorry for the mix-up Jason and I apologize again for any mis understanding caused on our part. I just wanted to make a post saying that we did make this right and that our policy is to Always stand behind every sale.

We offer an unconditional 14 day money back guarantee on every kite I sale, used or new! If you are unhappy with the product, we take it back!

This was a problem with our picture not matching our description and we take full responsibility for that mistake. We are replacing the kite with the newer 2008 model Eclipse.

We love kiteboarding and the most important thing for us is to support kiteboarders. We do that many ways, through our lesson/school program, by offering impeccable sales service, free knowledge, we do try to go out of our way to help everyone at any skill level.

Please forgive us and support us in the future so we are here for everyone!

You mean those scumbags at the DNC and their inexperienced lawyer candidate from the Democrat slums of Chicago?...Spare 'change' for everyone and a unicorn in every driveway!

Mullhollod,
I suggest that when shopping for President, you look beyond the pictures and read the print. There will not be a 14 day, no questions asked return policy.

Total opportunist.

And if not, just a great example of jumping the gun, with no regard for the damage you may cause. Either way pretty low. If you had tried to get it fixed and they blew you off, different story, but as it happened.... your a guy!

Tittle could read, "I scammed Kitty Hawk Kites"

What, do you work for the McCain campaign?

Just a couple more days and you'll get some insight into just how popular your divisive, small minded, egocentric, anti intellectual approach to life is.

Looks like the GOP's in for an ass woopin son.

maybe you can move up to Alaska. You and the gun happy prick who also jumped the gun and shot a 12 year old trick or treater on Halloween!

Remember when your up there teaching Palin to kite:

Onshore breaze comes from the commies so its not truly energy independant kiting.

You'll have to teach her in offshore winds only.
