wtf?

People posting reviews of gear can be viewed as advertising or simply a review.
People who post reviews might be getting some sort if incentive to do so.
Laurie is not a mind reader and he would have to be to know whether the review is totally without any commecial intent.
Laurie allows sponsors some slack when it comes to mentioning products or services they provide, within reason.

No-one is forced to read any post though! The choice is at your fingertips!!!

I stand by my view of the WW CC bar and depower system. I am not saying it unsafe just that it will not suit everyone and I totally disagree that sand, bridles and pulleys are a good mix for begginers.
Once you have seen and used a 5th line system, you will see how simple it is, tuning it is not rocket science, takes a couple of test flights at most.
Some people will always need help with these things (even tuning a 4 line bar), thats why those people need to buy from Australian based retailers.

I know Gabor and am sure he provides great service for WW kites customers here in Oz. Thanks for mentioning that he has the kites I will be giving him a call.

People need to know how to relaunch a kite the conventional way, they also need to know how to self rescue the conventional way. Promoting that features designed primarily for marketing advantage on kites takes away the need to know these things is flawed, IMHO.
