Hi Sharkbait,

I had a look at the details from the link. Quite a few kites under the brand name "China Kites" were sold over here in the west many years ago(and no doubt in other states to). The China kite brand died when best came along (who in my opinion forced other manufacturers at the time to improve their pricing... which at the time were very expensive and hence made brands like China Kites and Sandgroper Kites an affordable alternative). From what I can tell from the photo's, these look like they are manufactured from the same factory as those old C kites. I used to get kites manufactured through the same factory (sandgroper kites), and there were other well known brands also being manufactured through this factory (I personally saw them being manufactured). So the quality of the kite would no doubt be excellent (assuming its from the same factory). But as far as the design and flying characteristics go... who knows! If you purchase, I would love to hear what you think.

As far as all the brand crap you will hear on this forum, thats nothing new. The industry is so small and clicky here in Australia don't believe anything you hear from a shop or someone with a vested interest... the only way to know is to test for yourself. Goodluck!

I think i will stick with the brands i know!

Good Winds Everybody.

Show me an inflateable kite that isn't and I'll give you a lollie.

Hey Rellie... Ray wants a lolly.

2 bucks a day!?!? It must take them about 35 weeks, working 7 days, to make a single kite... given how much they charge for them... or (more likely) someone is making a lovely profit margin.

or if wearing clothes is actually the "decent" thing to do... not many manufacturers bother to tell us how they treat their employees/slaves.

2 dudes at Mullaloo yesterday showed up with 2 of these kites, price is a grand for kite and board, kite flies and boards are very flexy, but look good (thats all some people require)

Sharky.... Save some more money and buy an Ozone made in there own factory in vietnam ;)
