Probably not, but being brainless monkeys with hairy balls they are pretty sure that North Dice sounds tons better than Duotone Dice... Just do that wine testing thing - roll it around your mouth - a few times - you'll see!dlangpap wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 1:35 amDo “truly experienced kiteboarders” know anything about marketing?SaltWaterDog wrote: ↑Sat Jul 28, 2018 7:59 pmAre “truly experienced kiteboarders” representative of the market as a whole?

The problem with "True" is this ...
Classic negative marketing.
... which implies that other companies are not "legitimate or rightful".Google search wrote:True: legitimate or rightful ...

Re: What does true mean for you?
Negative marketing is the main advantage of using a reseller network. They even can get on forums and talk the same rubbish. Rare for brands to openly engage in the same, legal consequences are too high.

Just want good quality customisable gear. I use different brand model bar, with different brand lines on different brand kites. Whatever works best for my riding style.
I agree.
If the day after tomorrow the team that designs and makes Flysurfer kites decides to change their name to "Colourchrome", if they keep going with Sonic, Speed, and Soul models, I wont have any problem to buy a 2020 "Colourchrome Soul"
