Now wouldn't that be cool...

One day, all the new toys, one location... Come one Kite shops, I am sure we are all eager to get into this (looks like a big leap) year of kiting...

All we need is a big beach, a date (easy), some local shop support (doable) and wind (tricky)...

Thoughts on this?

Where do i sign up?

I should add in fairness though that I won't be buying a kite this season. so probably shouldn't be giving grief.

I don't have the $$$ and I keep reminding myself "I actually like my kites, they have at least one more season left in them and I am not obsessed with new toys (well exxy ones anyway)".

Next year after hybrids/bow are settled into 3rd generation design and the BS about 'radical new designs' has been offloaded from the Sulo bin - leaving only the facts as to their pros/cons - then I will buy a sweet one-kite marvel complete with self-inflation, onboard camera, GPS, self-help and trick of the week tapes... Do I expect too much... actually yes it should be cheaper than this seasons model

Oh with any luck, I will keep my good nick 5th line kites for mates to avago as they will still be great kites, even without the fruit.

well, I don't think the shops would feel threatened, as we each have our personal bias, brand loyalty and like of different colours - and lets be honest, there is a range of kites that could work for each of us, but something at times illogically compels you to like a kite even before you rode it!

With regards to Kitestock, yeah - that would be great. Last year I was at the Mambo and wanted to try the SBII's, but was so busy having fun, I never got that far... oh well... one day
