Normally, I see a post like this and I suspect possible guerrilla marketing. However, since you're the one posting the question, I guess not. ;)

Best had a successful business model and chose to abandon it, and then eventually best went bye bye.

I think price and gear is more important than marketing. But it would seem you can lack in one or so if the others make up for it.

Hi Toby, and ? Are you surprised of this ?? It was clear and obvious, best is never paying invoices ! best is dead, you have 3 or 4 guys left, no release of gear, same bar since 5 years now, no more dealers, most of the kites ordered and paid online are not delivered to customers... They never recover and will never be able to get back into the game, it is too late now. The name is burnt, even with couple of millions you couldn't relaunch the brand, the guys at the top management made too much damage... Good luck for your payments...

This is also my opinion. I find it particularly remarkable that there are still people who dare to buy kites from such a company, big balls!

What unpaid invoices? Last social media post was from september 23rd and no bashing on social media aswell? What's going on? Besides that I don't think there is anything wrong with skipping dealers and selling out of the factory. It is not for me tho since it's not true kiteboarding :lol:
