If they would just have the kite factory dig out the prints for the 2008-2010 Waroo and sell them for $350; could be number 1 in the industry! Bring out a $99-$150 kite bar...

I'm up for a multi point inflation (not one pump) 2011 Best Kahoona with the only tweak being a wider trailing edge like on the 2013-2015. MSRP could be $375 and I would buy new.

Come to think of it, that may start to crowd up our beaches a bit......

There is a significant portion of kiters who don't buy into the latest hype. Therefore, Best could just keep updating colors on their 2015-16-17 TSs and Rocas ad-infinitum, and people would still grab them for a bargain price. I bet all kite vendors&manufacturers felt quite a pain last year during Best firesale.

I Am so wondering if there are peolpe who still bought the new Best gear like the TS? Also because i never found any reviews..

in magazines yes.

btw...I heard a rumor that Best doesn't have a future...sounded like a shut down soon...anyone who can confirm this?

Even more cheap kites?

Always look at the bright side of life ... tidum ...

and forums, and websites, and anywhere else it is effective.

This thread makes me sad.

It's been a joy following Best. Last time I counted I think I'd bought about 16-20 best kites before I moved on. It's been a trip of ups and downs from early on, and regardless of what you think of best today they've been a big part of the industry of kiteboarding. The early years were just insane. I think we're can all appreciate that.

Yeah me too I have been riding Best for 10 years on and off! I still have an old Waroo and a quiver of Roca's that I love. Sadly I think it's close to the end of the line for them too. One of my friend tried to order a Roca and they had no stock for months. I don't have any official info but it doesn't look good. At least Eleveight is carrying the torch with good products and service! Most people get into the kiting business because it's a passion the original team has been gone for a while and the bean counters tried to make it into a regular business and of course that didn't work!
