Im sorry but wtf. They are a business trying to make money, simple as that. They aren't exactly giving the shirts away for free. Why should I just randomly support people who are trying to exploit the sport for some $$$.

Next people will be saying that best are in it to provide cheap kites to poor people.

I think Ben De Jonge would like to see us all out on the water in AFL shorts and flanney's with the sleeves rolled up.

If only you could get someone to make your bindings look and feel like uggies you'd be happy wouldn't you.

Go back to the U.K. you idiot.

carbine bet u buy billabong or quiksilver etc, they are all in it for the money you fool! Thats how it works- they have the idea -they put their money and time into it-if they make money than good luck to em, if it fails they lose, thats how you become an entrepenuer.The whole thing is called 'ECONOMY'. You dont have to buy it, you see i didnt buy your lame W.A video but thats up to me.Its a 'CHOICE'
I bet you liquid paper and duct tape all advertising on your kites.......?......OOOh dont want the kite companys to profit from you now do we....

Ben D J talk about fashion tell us please 'you closet Versace you' i seem to remember a post earlier??? .....Thats right.. The wetsuit you will continue to wear for ever Quote:

"I'm sticking to wetty only, no matter what"

Tell us ogreat leader of fashion why you would wear a wetty only throughout all summer? are you skindiving between jumps???

Quote "Also, nice to hear I haven't got a dud, in fact, I've got a Euro designer kite. How cool is that!" Go you big 6ft4 gastra fashion boy.

Im having fun now Ben this is great

I kinda like the 'Insignia Tee'.
It comes in white but I'd like green (cause I'm a greenie) and the insignia bit would be black.

I'd also like a custom shirt with 'Pump My Kite Bitch' on the back with a pump graphic overlayed.
And a breast pocket sewn on the front for my smokes.
Just kidding about the ****.

Well don't make it *** sound like they are doing us a favour, doing something for the community. Thats a load of **.

I actually don't own any billabong or quicksilver, largely because its over priced crap.

Nothing wrong with enjoying a sport and trying to make a living with it at the same time. I think it's been done before Someone used the word "exploit" earlier. A bit strong.... I would rather see a few avid kiters put time, energy and, yes, their money into a little joint venture, then a huge multinational coming along and offering the David Hasslehoff "Hofftek Quick Zip" kiting apparel at Target or Kmart. You can like the style of their clothing, you can hate the style of their clothing (for every 5 people who like it, there are probably going to be another 5 who don't), but I think they deserve a pat on the back for giving it a fair go.

PS. far too easy to say what you don't like about something than to offer constructive criticism supported by suggestions on how the product can be improved. For example.... personally the style isn't for me. Would probably hold more appeal for some of the younger more able kiters I see boosting big air all around me. I would like to see a second clothing line for older surfkiters, kitesurfers, boardkiters, parachute boarders that are a little more subtle. Maybe just a black t-shirt with a kite and some lines or something. Something you can wear to the beach or to a nice restaurant

Yes but when you put it like this.


"Buy our gear because we are doing something for kitesurfers, we are helping out fellow kitesurfers and the kitesurfing community"

I reckon there is something there for every taste.
And I guess they will be expanding designs/colours in the future.

I do know of one the guys involved (just to say hello to)and he is a top bloke - no bs. Very helpful and offers great advice.
So on that alone I am happy to get a shirt and support them.

Now, back to that Kiteforum shirt, have you ever seen anything more
tacky or what!

I think there is a bit of east vs west sneaking into this post, what's wrong guys, daddy take your wind away these past few days??

Had a second look at the site. Agreed... it's not all 'pull-the trigger'... Must of been influenced by all the "pull-the trigger" shirts and stickers I see at our local spot. Pretty popular with the yungins.... Think I found a shirt that I may wear to dinner tomorrow night.

NO 1 fashion Rule: If your gonna put out to the public expect the public to respond! Your heart and soul and your cred is all on public display. Let it speak and people will comment. If you cant take the heat get outta the kitchen.

"Aussie Battlers givin it a shot" Dimestore Shonks more like it! Hot Tip:Try selling snake oil. I hear its good for brain damage! Give sympathy to those who really deserve it!

1 Stockist in 2 years? pffft get me the bucket... PURE GENIOUS? Thats what your get for 1/2 arsed attempt at design,marketing and business. Prolly rakin in the coin i should shutup they might put a hit on me "Pull FN the Trigger" I beg you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![}:)]

Quote #2 from fittyfoot website:
"Straight up, FiftyFoot Kite Boarding is not about clothes for kiteboarders."
(By the Way....Thirty foot was taken by Russell Crowe...No one wants to mess with that phone throwing Pyscho...However the same attitude still applies)
Whos it for then? Golfers,Ballet Dancers, Sheep Shearers, Wanna be Gangsters, Terrorists??? Please tell? I really dont get it????

"A shirt to wear to Dinner"

Wow! These are predominantly "Tee Shirts"

Shirts and Tee Shirts are very different products. If your gonna comment get it right!!!

Freeflyfreak, Ben de jong,Waveslave and Carbine all have very valid points.

By the way take advice from them. London is the Hub of European fashion. Buy a magazine from there or visit. Oops! Cant, business aint to good huh?

Paulio and Pyslor...mmmm whos got whos hand on whos oldfella??? Sounds a little Oxford street In Sunny Goldy? Get some gold coloured thongs and spank each other with em...Gimme a Break!!! Pffft $4.99 Target tees how did you know bout them? I've never been to Target please explain? Maybe they go with the $2.99 Y fronts your mother bought your in high school???

Kusu you know one of them? Whoopee! Who cares! Their product stinks plus your taste in clothing stinks with em! Got a family? wear that "Pull the FN Trigger" tee to your next inlaw dinner I dare you? Stick to teaching kiting mate fashions a different game! Go on support it its good for the community! Wannabetuffguys...yeah right!

Who am I? You ask. Maybe I am an average bloke who enjoys kiting and usually just checks the weather on this site, maybe I am family man, maybe I am a buyer for a large retail chain. Either/or, maybe all in one who cares? The facts are there to be seen. Anyway the product is simply put.....crap...but I would'nt know that would I? I am just a consumer!

you are also too gutless as a lot of people are on this forum to put on your profile who you are.
therefore you are no one!

Greenleader,
That criticism about anonymity is a little unfair.

I'd guess 80% of the forum users remain anonymous.

It's smart policy for obvious reasons.

Thats smart Greenleader! Marketing spam companies would have a field day.

Where do you live? How much do you earn? How bout I come over and discuss this matter in person?

Yeah Right!

Use your brain before you comment? I didnt know Gold Coast has a brain share scheme? 1 brain to every 4 users. Caution must wear black tee shirt to use scheme and must be a tuffguy.

Ha! Comedy at its best!

I'm surprised the owner of Fiftyfoot Kiteboarding hasn't responded.

Maybe he's not aware of this forum discussion about his product taking place.

Maybe he's offline, unavailable, who knows?

Maybe he's hiding under a rock.

I shouldn't say too much, he might PULL THE FUCN TRIGGER.

Anonymity

Only for those that want to hide and are too gutless to show face . Guess they have their reasons,prob a bitter n twisted molested childhood or a worthless exsistence would bring out the scum of society that appear to condem without showing face. This is not a direct insult a you 'Shake', for i thank you greatly- for if it was not for you i shall not look so good.

Have a pleasent sleep all and 'Shake' please try and let go of all that built up agression

If you only had 25% of a brain you would get bored easily! What is that they say about goldfish and ten seconds? Or maybe thats how long you last in bed!

It's a Comedic Festival and your invited Greenleader!

Oops "Dont Pull the FN Trigger" I am just joking really.

I wish I didnt put my "FULL DETAILS UP" now I'm Screwed.

Greenleader,
This thread IS spam.
Three pages of Fiftyfoot Kiteboarding.
Not bad advertising for free.
Jason should thank Paulio.
Maybe give him a free chics singlet.
The one with 50 on the front.
Or maybe a custom one.
How about 69 for something odd?
