Has anyone had dealings with a company based in Indonesia that distributes kites and boards called "Global Kites" ?

The website looks okay but I am always suspicious of any companies in Indonesia.
http://global-kites.com

I would appreciate any feedback

Is a scam... There is no possible reason why you should find kites in Indonesia at those prices!!! OR anywhere in the world... Is simply not possible!!!

Slick looking website this time round

Somebody from the big kite companies should get onto this as it surely gives them a bad rap

I tried already but there is nothing you can do!! There is no address, no phone number etc... The only way is to track down with IP address but they could be anywhere.. Of course now they are moving away from just Alibaba and making nicer web site to find people to cheat... Is like the Nigeria Scam but from Indo..
Police will not care. There was a guy few months ago who came all the way from Venezuela as he bought from one of this company some 30 kites and never receive anything.. He went to the Embassy in Jakarta and police but they said they could do nothing!
Our prices in Bali for kite gear are good but nothing near what this people are showing.
Cabrinha following my suggestion put a disclaimer in their web site:
www.cabrinha.com/apps/store-locator

Please Note: Only purchase Cabrinha Kites from authorized dealers as listed in our website. Be advised that Cabrinha products sold on the Alibaba website, mainly from Indonesia, are NOT Cabrinha authorized dealers.

Hope this can help not to get cheated.

You'd have to be an idiot to think this was legit

Almost certainly a scam.
Doing a whois shows this:

Which means they don't want anyone to know who they are.
Doing a whois for cabrinha gives as one of the registrants "Peter Cabrinha" which looks pretty legit to me
