They are super awesome kites, and the pricepoint is unbelievable. Griffin Kiteboarding will sure make a huge impact in the market. The kites have arguably the best value right now, top quality materials, plus excelent performance. Its certainly pushing the industry in a positive way.Think $300-$600 in savings when compared to most other competirors .
This superb price point is possible mostly due to their flat structure:
"Griffin kites are shipped from the factory to you or your nearest distributor, concentrating on quality and customer service. What you are paying for in some other brands includes shipment via factory > warehouse > distributor > retailer with extra expenses in multiple shipment costs, extra duty and clearance costs, extra markups as the kites change hands and expensive marketing campaigns. Our flatter structure keeps that extra money in your pockets. Go spend it on more gear or a kiting adventure!"
