Bravo.

Nice kiter rags...y'all going to be the next Russell Simmons of the kite scene.

Where the "fiftyfoot" come from; or is that a trade secret?

I don't know, but the RS I'm talking about sells hip-hop cloths in the US of A. Started in NYC as band manager for Run DMC, a genius of a business man....just knows what de people wan...

i thought the gear was pretty cool,its not something id wear to church or my Nans funeral.
But i find that because i have a social life, wearing cool and designer clothing has its place.
There are people out there that prob would not suit this style eg: 70yr men with bladder probs
pre-school children
Charles Manson and friends
anyone from England

Which are you???

Good name. Shame about the designs.

The have the chance to do something really original, but they've done a nasty lookin combo between 80's skater punk and American sports wear.

Push your designs a lot harder lads, can't see anyone over 14 being turned on by them.

exactly what I was going to say. Wheres the tweed? wheres the woolen knit cardigans like Paulios nan used to make? I want something warm that I can wear whilst Im reading the financial times or the economist, not common street urchin muck! what-what!

quote from fifty foot website
"IT’S SIMPLE! We are about kiteboarding and kiteboarders. We support kiteboarding and kiteboarders. We want you guys to have a sick shirt to wear after a sick days kiting to celebrate our sport, our lifestyle, our passion and our stoke on kiting, and we’d like to go on making cool kiting clothes and hopefully lots of other cool stuff so you guys, the riders, have something that represents your passion for the sport.
So that’s us! That’s what we’re about."


WOW! I'm Impressed with the use of black thru the range! Launching a range for Kiteboarders. In Summer no doubt? Celebrating passion with BLACK???

Black is not really a great colour for summer neither is grey or whatever that swampy colour is. White the only success! aargh its got black in it or silver and a splash of red...hardcore!

"PULL THE F**** TRIGGER" gimme a break! Thats all we need more hostility. What does it actually mean? I am hard as mutherFn Rock so shoot me I can take it?[}:)]

Chicks tees! interesting once again in BLACK! Hoodies in guess what colours...oops colour...BLACK! Singlets...well lets say South Central LA wanna be gangstastyle BIAAAAAATCH!

Deeply confused and extremely amatuerish attempt at "DESIGNER CLOTHING" you guys are kidding wheres the design?

No thought to colours at all. Tees or print. No Direction. NO Style. NO Innovation Just a vomitous attempt at being HARDCORE.

Take a step back and look at the range? Wannabetuff guys go buy it. cheapest "Designers Tees" I've seen! Hot tip:GET SOME HELP or PACK UP SHOP!

Dark, Boring and Sad is my view of the clothes....what do I know? I am just an average consumer. Wouldnt even use the clothes as car rags! WHAT A JOKE

er, dude. when was the last time u looked at fashion in the UK or london for that matter. if u think people in perth 'know' how to dress then u need to see more of the world.

i thought the designs were a little dated. but they are primarily for the US market, and they like their main dish of cheese with a side order of cheese. nuff said.

I'll prob get slated here but i do find that fashion in WA follows the US template albeit with a slight aussie slant.

2 cents. or should that be 'fidy cents ?

Fashion is a personal taste thing.
However, ShakesSpear has got a valid point.
Dark colour T-shirts in summer only means stinking, sweaty armpits.

Style looks more street than beach.
Do bogans know kitesurfing even exists?

'slave

isnt it funny how much kiters complain....if u dont like black dont buy black...why everyone here baggs anyone who gets off there bums and off the internet and does something is amazing.theres no accounting for taste and u might not like the designs so far but in this chickens book anyone who has a go is well ahead those who just wait for someone to stick there neck out so they can chop it off. get a life or sell ur kites and join a knitting group if all u gonna do is be so damn negative.

Well, with regards to kite specific clothing designs.....

How about a kite shirt with a designer slot in the front at harness hook height?
Then the kite-punks can wear the kite shirt to hide the harness and pretend they're wakeboarders.

You the man pauly[}:)]

Putting the word "kite" on cloths may work...good conversation piece, even if you only play Kite Flight.

Amazing how quickly things go viscious these days..........just don't pull the trigger.

Wind is coming

greetings paulio.
now my initial feeling is to come straight back at you with sarcasm and a vicious dealing of correct grammer, but being that I dont think you would grasp the full monty and Im not that kind of person, I wont.
you may have noticed I was more concerned with kite 'specific', that's SPECIFIC clothing. not fashion. anyone can put a graphic on clothing thats already been made. I was just trying to turn the thread back to kiting rather than er attracting women??!

I dont have the time or inclination to tell u exactly why i know about the fashion, graphic and marketing business. and anyway, why so defensive? are u plugging a mates business by chance ?

Got some mates who wear the basketball singlets out on the water and off the water but they must be younger than the old farts having a whinge.
The clothing has got good potential and kiters should get behind the industrie instead of backstabing anyone trying to have a go.

Please take no offence greenleader and paulio about the old thing!!!


paul j and angie
we both wear black, blacks cool.

Paulio,

None of the above mate.
34y/o.
You strike me as the type of guy who goes for No Fear and Oakley t-shirts. Lots of black with fluro logos.

They'd call you a Chav in the UK. It's a good word. The aussie version is Bogun.

The 50 Foot graphics are ****e, cliched and Seppo, check the other posts, you're in the minority champ. Which means you're actually part of the great unwashed. Must be along way to the beach from those Eastern suburbs.

This is fun innit![}:)]
