bloody awesome. the only disappointing thing is the glaring omission of a few kite brands from the 'all you need to know' bow test. perhaps they can get a run in later issues though as the mag appears to be sponsored by cabrinha/flexifoil etc it's unlikely they'll ever be mentioned.

aside from that fact i look forward to the next issue.

The only major omission I saw was probably the North and the GK, but maybe they weren't prepared to supply them, I can understand with the Sonic because the Sonic 2 is only due for release now.

So far I think its a great job with an online mag.

i was thinking best waroo. (i would have loved a review of the ocean rodeo one but as they're such a small portion of the market share i can understand the omission.)

www.kbmag.com an aus made one (i think)

but back to the topic...
nice page turning sound effects, a bit disappointing with some advertising and not the best reviews of kite (appears the most important thing is the color scheme although that is important to me [}:)]

Online mags are fluff.
There's nothing to hold, except a stupid mouse.
There's nothing to finger thru.
But the price is right.

Mags belong in toilet corners.
Spread out on coffee tables amongst the general clutter.
Mags need to be tangible and dog-earred.
Mags are the physical evidence of the chosen lifestyle.

HI guys great response from everyone thanks, for your info on advertising the magazine is 100% not sponsored by any one company, the Directors of the magazine are all sponsored by differant brands, some of which are not even in the magazine... We sent out advertising preposals to all companies the ones you see in the mag were brave enough to give it a go, all of which have been extremely happy with the results.

With regards to the Bow test, we asked every company who design & produce bows to send us a kite to demo, the kites we recieved we tested, unfortunately BEST did not send us a Waroo, please understand that the magazine is in no way biased to ANY kite brand.

Thanks again for all your comments, again if you have any questions please dont hesitate to contant me.

Don't take any notice of the whingers.

i reckon it's brilliant effort to put out a free mag. i loved it. I have also been told you will be putting out a pdf version so will be able to print it and read it in the dunny. Excellent.
