Hi, every one.
I am the manager of the facotry which porduced Genetrix kite for years in China.

The price is without any profit ,even lower than my cost. Please check and see what you need.
Hydra-v7 9.0m US$450 pink-blue
Universe 9.0m US$445 orange
Universe 10.0m US$465 orange, pink, kaki
all the price is EXW China mainland.I will help to arrange the transport to anywhere of the world.

So funny how all these dolts on forums look at every shitty little kite brand owner and designer with rose tinted glasses like theyre the up and comeing underdogs of the world taking on big comercialism in theyre dieing sport.
Reality its just knobheads with an ego who dicked around on surfplan for a few hours and sent theyre logos off to a factory for a small batch order of 100 and never sold any cause theyre products so shit.
But then you gits are like ohhh its soooo greaaat it flys soo well i have 2 of them and love them (meanwhile all you do is foilboard back and fourth or maybe a backroll and a 6m high jump on a twin tip)
It takes 2 seconds to look at any kite not made by a top 5 brand manufacturer to see how shit they are in comparison yet here you all stand claiming the same rhetoric garbage that the big brands are somehow gaugeing us for our kidneys with theyre prices.
And whats more its been this way forever. And you never learn.
My favourite part is how everytime you see a kiter go from a cabrinha to a switch theyve already decided in theyre mind that kiteing isnt worth $3k to them its only worth $2k and with that mindset they kite less on the water... And the decline begins..... Now armed with an inferiour equipment they go out less and less and kiteing becomes ever more less important to them. Then they just stop kiting all together
If your buying shit kites. Your in that cycle where ever you are aware of it or not.
Go out theyre learn a new trick. Crash. Alot. Until you land it. And just watch how much kiting all of a sudden becomes worth the 3k$ to you again.
Its not the gear its not the price. Its your pathetic little mundane sailing back and fourth doing nothing and trying nothing new thats the problem.

Such breathtaking arrogance. Genetrix was the first kite to break both the 50 & 55-knot speed record at Luderitz. It lead the way and has rightly earned its place in kiteboarding history. I'm currently the fastest kite-buggy rider in the UK with 69.8mph, 6th in the world rankings thanks to the Genetrix Hydra and I say that without ego. I owe it all the Genetrix. A truly amazing kite, a revolution in design and most definitely NOT a product of some online wing surf plan.
Using the perceived downfall of a small pioneering company to make an unwanted strawman argument, well, that's big of you. You must be something special.
Genetrix dared to be different. The very same attitude you yourself profess to here, but in reality, people like you are sheep, too cool and too afraid of what your peers would say to be seen with anything other than the BIG FIVE!
You rant reads like some perverse Freudian projection, you come across as railing against the status quo, yet you seem to be actively partaking in it. Talk about ego.

Wow, Cuzy!
Seems like you're looking at your big corporate brands with rose colored glasses here. If you actually had a lick of experience in kiteboarding, you would realize that the big five names have produced some of the absolute worst kites the Earth has seen. And on top of that, those brands have covered up defects and safety issues that should have been addressed with full recalls. I think you need to reel it back in a little bit, put your brand name t-shirts back in the closet, and simmer down to a more rational level.
I can give you a hundred reasons why people look to companies other than the big five. But I don't think I need to as they are pretty much obvious. I'm sure there's some hotheads out there that would agree with your post wholeheartedly. But the more even tempered majority of us realize that either your post was made after a few drinks too many, or you're definitely not a role model for kiteboarding and it's hopeful future.

After 17 years kiting, I am not sure there are simply great companies. Definitely no perfect ones. There are great kites and bars and boards, and bad ones, and many styles. No one hits a home run every time.

The greatest kite is the one u can sell second hand at more than 50% of it’s retail value...
