Hi Guys,
well leave for a couple of days and come back to this. I want to let everyone know a couple of things in the way Adrenalin Rush Sports works. We are not easily walked over by any salesman, we actually base our decisions within our company on good ol Test and Measure.
When we decided to even look at BEST as a possible brand within our company we were unable to because there was a verbal agreement between Kitepower and BEST that they were the sole destributors for Australia. That was fine and we continued selling our all ready popular brands to our great customers. 6 month ago we we contacted BEST agin to see how things were going and they decided to let us have a go at the product. After some major testing of the gear, and letting our 5 Shop riders push the gear to its limits, we measured the response onear and came up with this feedback.
- BEST kites are great performing and simple to use
- the quality is of the same standard as 90% of brands in the industry today,
- this product was inexpensive allowing new people and wxisting, to finally have a quiver of kites so that they can have fun in most conditions.
- Also allowed us to promote the sport to the younger people and develop a youth culture within our area of Mackay and Townsville.
Our general sense of direction is to ride for fun and good times. Alot of us would definately enter comps, if there were more up this way, bimply cannot afford to go down south.
Over all Best gear is great and 2006, i believe, will be better again. I will not allow any of my customers to be put in a position where product will not arrive, or will they be stuck with a kite that they are not 100% happy with. Our customers come first.
Thanks for reading

i didnt mean to be so rude steve but it just seems a bit weird how you talk about best now. You and your shop obviously had an bitter fallout, but most retailers will not slam other brands regardless. Your negative attitude towards best is blatantly obvious, so dont say your not slamming them at all. Other brands have released duds like the RRD CON-V or wateva.
i thought retalers were supposed to be positive about all kite brands, even ones they do not sell. obviously promote their brands the most but not be negative about other brands. if that makes sense

Kitepower is not other shops, Kitepower is better than best!
We have heaps of awesome performing kites that sell for the same or less than **** kites, so price is not the advantage anymore, things have changed, the world of kiting has moved on, for the better.

Hey Laurie, I reckon these retailers should have a seperate section on the forum so they can go through their boring, repetitive slug fests without wasting our time.
and keep it real

If only we could mine kites, dig em straight up ready to rig and fly, or pump them down a pipeline from the outback to the coast.
Some brands could be back pumped in through the sewer so you just need to lif the lid and voila, you pullout a new yahoo kite before you take a dump. The better than best stuff could be pumped in through the front door.
Keep abusing me I need the ammo.

there are a few kite companies that have had a flop kite over the years, not just BEST. Thing is it is one of those processes that most go thru in life, just learn from your mistakes and be better in the future. Hence what Best have created for 2006. Try these kites and you guys will be surprised.
Anything on the BEST website is available directly from Adrenalin Rush in OZ. Check out www.kiterush.net
