On last sale (summer again) i also purchased kite and they informed me that went out of stock and i had to wait 1 month to get the kite.

If you liked the TS you'll find a kite developed from that lineage coming from Eleveight.

Trouble For Best's owner?

It really is quite an ugly story of twists and turns. One can't help but get the feeling that he got in out his depth with some seriously big hitters in Russia and some sharks back in Spain.

Here is my rough translation:

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has ordered the arrest of the founder of ZED, Javier Pérez Dolset for a crime of criminal insolvency of his Spanish internet pionieeing company, currently in litigation with creditors after being a company leader in this sector and that was valued in More than 1 billion euros. After a year of investigation by the Unit against Specialized and Violent Crime (UDEV) and the Economic and Fiscal Crime Unit (UDEF) of the Police, Pérez Dolset has just been arrested for bankrupting his own company to the detriment of the rest of the shareholders.

Their services are still good though. They refunded me in less than 3 days.
Let's see what Elev8 will bring in the game :)
I need new kites. My 2014s start having a lot of issues :(

Who owns eleveight?
Where did the money come? Who are the real owners of Eleveight?
Where is it registered? Why is it so secret?
Best became a laundry service and started like Eleveight is starting now, right?

http://www.elconfidencial.com/empresas/ ... f_1361725/

PKRA was bought by Javier Dolset and he was associated with Richard Branson for VKWC.
ZED and Virgin seems to be good friends for long. PKRA must have been intentionally terminated.
Maybe Branson and Dolset had now to ask some of his trustful friends to play the investor role making Best workers and dealers happy... who knows?
Eleveight is the new Best.. the hellfish couldn't go on with it's owner in jail, so a long sleeping period was planned.

How many other brands do they control?
