OK, I know there's a lot of bad vibes about KBM at the moment, but there is one article in the current one I want to read, but I can't find anyone who's selling it. Has anyone in Perth bought one? I've asked at at a number of major news agents this week and they've either never heard of it or they "only sell the English ones", as one of them said.

I bought the last one from Angus & Robertson in Hobart, but A&R here don't have it on their computer.

I've tried

Angus & Robertson Murray St.
The one opposite Vintage Cellars on Hay St
The one oppose HJs on Murray St
Garden City News
Paragon Newsagent
Bull Creek Newsagent
Esplanade Busport Newsagent

Support your local kite shop and buy it from them.
They probably get it earlier than Newsagents too.

As far as I know the new one is not out as yet. We will get it in as soon as it is available, we have already paid for them.

because the kite shops advertise in them they should get them before any newsagents.they were handing them out at the kawanna nationals so it must be out soon.

I would have thought subscribers should get em 1st. At about the same time as the shops that advertise ............. and then ............... some while later the newsagents

Obviously a very small circulation...small market, small circulation small you know what (bad pun).

But it does want to "go hard."

g-dog - go back an tell them it that KBM is in English.
Bit hard to recognise in some articles but if they look closely enough they will see that its not really a foreign mag.

ps: see u got ur Oz Day pics in this edition. Is this a first for 'Birds Eye View Photography' ???

Wonder what all the grumble-bums are going to complain about this time round.
Lots of waves; stuff for, & about, the girls; beginners stuff; tech-head stuff; everyday kiters adventures; great coverage of who's who's at the top etc etc etc etc......
If only they would concentrate a bit more on 'wakestyle' - didnt see much of that in there

ps: And how OMG amazing is this months centrefold OMG
And im not talking bout you ryland - you are definately facing the wall

he he. Yeah, that's "the article" I wanted to see. I picked one up from Airborne on Friday.
I especially liked the Monkeykite Great Downwinder diary. It added a bit of variety to the usual "rider profile" or "competition summary" type of article we see so much of these days and I wouldn't mind seeing the DVD when it comes out.

Like you, the only complaint I have is that they put the centrefold in backwards.

OK so maybe I'm being a grumble-bum, but why is it that every few months someone asks this forum 'Where can I buy KBM?'

The answer is obvious: every bl00dy newsagent in the country - within the first few weeks of the two month publishing cycle.. after that they may or may not have sold out and you'll just have to shop/ring around.

Unless you subscribe you won't get the new edition before it hits the newsstands - just wait another week.

Maybe every bl00dy newsagent in Brisbane, but not in Perth! The first 12 newsagents I tried (mostly in the CBD) had never heard of it but I'm now told there's one in Scarborough that has it. I would have been happy just to find one that said they stock it but it hasn't come in yet, but I had no such luck so that's when I thought I must be missing something.

At least I knew the kite shops would get it, but even then it was still 2 weeks after the rest of the country. I was in Hobart when the last one came out and I found it in the FIRST place I looked, but the biggest store from same chain over here doesn't even know about it.
