Kat,
For those who know me, I disagree. I would NEVER wear a product or ride for a certain brand of kite if I did not believe in it. I am not that sort of person who would sa that something is great just for the sake of it. If you do not believe in something, why support it in the first place! Hence why I have stopped using the XXXX brand name proper surfing made bikini's for the problems, comfort and quality of them.
However, the chances are that BOTH bikinis have had the SAME problem, I would suggest that it is not the product; moreover they are not being used correctly. Be that on the tightest setting for her and she is not securing them totally.
However, without a reply from her, I cannot determine more.
Rather than being an advertisement for Hive also, it came up as more of a review on the product by another member who is particularly interested in the bikini range. Yes I do have some things in my picture, but a photo of XXXXXX brand kite is advertising it too etc.
Sometimes things get too political when they weren't intended to.
I however do not see how writing about how great a bikini (when this isn't anything to do with me as I wear their proudct but do not benefit in any other way) is any different to writing about how great XXXXX brand of gear is if I ride for a certain brand, shop or prefer them for other benefits etc. But anyhoot

I have personally offered to Keilani who has since not replied to myself, this post, or contacted me directly. I will do my best to sort out what the issue could be (out of my own will and nothing to do with Hive).
I take of offense to you suggesting that it is my word against hers; and that because I am sponsored I am lying for the company. I have offered all I can do, and until I get further reply for her on this, I cannot do more than to express what I have found.
An easier and honest way of solving this would have also been to contact Hive directly if this was such a large problem, and I am sure Kat (from Hive) herself would be pleased to help you.
