....impecunious circumstance.....
.....ive no idea what the pricing structure is like in the states where they are the import up against local market brands like slinger and liquid force, but then they are not using European sourced materials like dyneema rather than spectra
Sir GraemeF, or what ever new personal pronoun you should choose, I respect your "specialness".
Core is not much higher priced than most other brands upon initial offering. But you can't get a good deal on closeouts on them because Core under supplies the market. So cost is higher on average and availability low on Core kites, just as you have stated Core can have times of the year with low availability in the UK.
That is the business model for the high end kite industry. And Graemey has partially insinuated that core kites are built in Europe. To clarify, all of the large brand name kites are built in China, Vietnam, or Sri-Lanka - where Core, North, and Best were/are made. I thought that a company was trying to start in the Czech Republic, but I do not know if that went anywhere. But Seriously, Dyneema vs Spectra?????? Think Graemey can go into more detail about the differences there?
