Skyway, move to North Korea or something if you don't like the capitalist model. Its what gives you grocery stores the size of small third world towns and enough power to take over entire countries at will for the sake of oil. You're a nice guy, I've rounded with you before on the forums, sorry if I...

ttboy get a grip. Kitty Hawk and Extreme are not little players. They are top tier kite retailers. You don't see REAL tossing the Lawyers against small mom and pop kite retailers, waste of their time. The Terrios name is from the Autofocus soundtrack and the guy who sang that song sounded evil as sh...

Fact is that a lot of the kite retailers out there started their business for the love of the sport. No business background, no lawyers, no business plan. REAL has had this all along. Skyway you're backing Extreme and I agree they provide the best service and the best deal. But you kow what? If they...

Wow...in the matter of a few days many retailers across America realize the "lifestyle" just ain't cutting it anymore and in fact some places like REAL would like them to start behaving like a business? CLEAN UP TIME FOLKS. Some a-rod earlier mentioned that Extreme kites was an excellent retailer an...

First off, I don't work for any of these clowns. Problem here is that REAL is part of the real world, commerce, lawyers, profits, customer service, business plans....the whole nine yards. Its called growing a business. The other players cry foul? No sir. The guy with the most money should do whateve...

This whole story makes me want to cry.

The next time I see some 10yr old waxy earplugs on the beach, I'll think twice about passing them over.

Instead, I'll pick them up, wash them, and go on Kiteforum to get directions on mailing them back half way across the globe.

I'll disagree with you on the lines, North has the best lines out there. 100% tangle free. The Ozone lines are solid, but they tangle like crazy.

Same goes for me. I was in Turkey a few months ago and lost a nail clipper on the beach. It is the only clipper I've ever owned.

Any info please let me know, I love that clipper.

Two posts prior had a finger pull release. I'll let go the idea that these things can't be stiched strong enough to prevent ripping. Maybe someone could do it. I had the MAJOR kitemare of my life overpowered on a Waroo heading toward a jetty. 35kts on an 11m, I was on a super huge EXT and 100% depow...

For those newbies just catching up on this, here are the stats: Pure shit chicken releases with little room for safety: - BEST - Ozone - Monkey Top Notch Systems: -Slingshot (#1?) -Cabrinha -North -Royal -GK Does anyone know of other systems that use that home made loop like BEST and Ozone? It would...
