Just read this from Lou:
My own new brand. No name yet still prototyping
Sounds interesting
Yep.. his business plan seem to be solid:
How many Australian females attempted to qualify for the youth olympic games? None, no female competitors at all from one of the premiere water sports nations on earth. Oceania actually managed to get a single competitor that was a novice.drsurf wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2019 4:22 pm@ longwhitecloud, what a load of crap!
You pick and choose your data without any context.
As mentioned before virtually all Olympic competing countries have national programs to pick the best competitors and provide them with gear @ no cost. Sounds like you missed out on being the chosen one and can't get over it. Also the reason World Sailing is involved is that they have connections to local sailing clubs in most countries and through that national network provide subsidised insurance, training and grant money for gear, safety, boats etc.
Your ignorance trolling has no place on this forum, every statement you make just makes it worse for you.
Try and have some fun, maybe get outside a bit in the fresh air or even on the water if you actually can kite etc.
For the main brands yes they are expensive. But with the longevity of a foil kite ,at 2-3+ times a LEI, then even these expensive models are still cheaper. Mark my words you will see some of these kites still around 20-30+ years later. Then there exists a foil kite brand which has the cheapest kites, starting at $89 for a water kite.longwhitecloud wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2019 3:50 pmThey chose the most expensive, complex, full carbon, most hard to maintain (bridles) kite kit that ever existed.
