Has someone intimidated my witness?
I didn't know you were involved with some legal case. Nobody has spoken to me or contacted me about anything. I only speak the truth. :thumb:

Re: Switch In Bed With Middle Men

[Neither Switch nor Slingshot are retailers in the traditional sense, but in the 21st century, here in the US at least, it's become common place for brands to sell direct. I think this is the disconnect. Traditionally we're used to the "margin system" business model of supporting an independent ret...

Re: Switch In Bed With Middle Men

You make an interesting accusation Do Yoda. One I never thought of. A middle man must hold inventory which in the case of Switch is a 3rd party building in England, Hong Kong and somewhere else I think. You say Switch has broken the Advertising Standards Authority of New Zealand code of conduct by ...

Re: Switch In Bed With Middle Men

Da Yoda, every year, state organs confiscate dangerous toys and christmas tree lights? do you agree? they do that in your country? So, dangerous goods are not allowed to be imported. Thankfully yes we do that here (not perfectly though). But that's with known products that have the potential to mai...

It's just a marketing platform, nothing more. Middle men hold inventory. Big difference here!

Re: Switch In Bed With Middle Men

No middle men here. Many companies use Amazon to access and market to their 60+ million customer base. Notice who the seller is? It's not Amazon, it's not XYZ Kite Shop, it's Switch. Cabrinha, Liquid Force, Naish, Slingshot, North, and Ocean Rodeo also do the exact same thing. A VERY smart business ...

Re: Bars and lines

bar length doesn't have to match throw length doesn't have to match line length doesn't have to match, safety system doesn't have to match manufacturers (but it must match safety type). I strongly beg to differ!!! Just last weekend I used a kite with another brand of bar and quickly found out that ...

Re: Bars and lines

I think the Envy 12m is tuned around a 55/56cm bar if I'm not mistaken. The 20" Slingshot bar should work fine, but you will find the response to be a bit slower due to the narrower line width. Not sure about the pigtail orientation.

Re: Bars and lines

Can you use different bar for different brands of kites? I left my bar at my vacation home, and was wondering is a bar from my smaller other brand would work? Thanks Rule for mixing kites with bars: If you can find a bar that is identical or very close in spec to the stock bar that a given kite has...
