Well said Tauto !tautologies wrote:but how do you do that though? Not all companies offer that, and not everywhere. I certainly do not want to demo a kite and then have to pay return shipping if I think the kite suck ass.Flight Time wrote: Then clearly you may not have made the right decision, having not compared your kite to it's peers. You may have preferred one of the kites you did not try. You have no regrets because you don't know what you may be missing. Duh.
It is undeniably in a rider's best interest to demo as many kites as they can before making a decision.
I see so many people .....undecided all the time... who cannot make decisions without A DEMO
I kinda feel sorry for them...because life goes by for them...while i am out riding the fun LW
It should be real simple...and it really is...for me anyway..knowing my type wind and water i ride
For example when i buy a car (by the way so many brands similar to kite choices)..
....i know what i want...do not demo or even test drive...i just buy and enjoy ...the ride
Life choices without demos.....some people just know what is best.... for them
From my wife (who loves kiting)...to our condo location (near to ocean surf..and not the gulf of Mex.)
From my workplace near home....to my boss..to my work hours (off by mid-aft.)
My life is filled with correct decisions...i follow my heart
I have no regrets because in my life....nothing feels missing...i am thankful to be so fortunate
...except for the wind that has been very variable lately this month so far
Been out 3 times...and the wind (10kn) backed off while on the water to 5-6kn (kite did not fall in)
So far this month...17 minutes of riding !!!
1st sesh...2 minutes.........2nd sesh...10 minutes.....3rd sesh...5 minutes
I still feel blessed to have gone out...i am an eternal optimist...glass half-full type
Quality wind (that last longer) will be back ...it is just a matter of time
