Anyone out there know how to get hold of these kites, surf/sail in perth seem to be the only supplier but have a very small shipment arriving "soon", 1 of each size from m8 who it must be said, don't seem to want to sell kites in w.a. As i have the dollar bills ready and waiting my mind starts to tell me to change brands as it seems these are the only kites that are hard to buy. Any ideas or someone who can kick the importers up the arse would be appreciated

We also sell F-one, and will have a selection of 10's and 12's in from next week. We also have a demo 12 at Safety Bay at the moment, which you can come and try. But they are proving very popular, hence the relative lack of supply.

I don't think it is Surf Sails fault, they are getting in what they can and I believe they will have some stock next week as well. It seems to me that M8 only send over what is left after the East Coast get their orders, it is a shame because as some of you know I love my Bandits and i think there would be a market for the smaller sizes in WA (wait awhile) if they were more readily available.
I have no affiliation at all with Surf Sail and pay full price for my kites, however I really do believe that the DOS is a good kite and if you really want one it seems that you will just have to put your order in with Surf Sail or WA Surf and wait.
I managed to get my hands on a 10mtr out of the first batch and have now broken my leg (not the kites fault at all) so don't have an issue with having to wait for a smaller one but the rest of you with two good legs will just have to wait i'm afraid.

Trying to get Bandit Dos kites is a problem right up the Chain.
retailers get short supplied on orders, as does M8 it seems.

but reports from other countries, it is the same around the world.

pretty much you need to pre order a bandit with a deposit, as this seems to get max priority when the shipments arrive and what does arrive gets rationed out.

Get in contact with M8 to find your nearest dealer there website has all the prices etc. If you have no luck the store i ride fore will send australia wide, and yes can get all the sizes. Hope the next shipment lasts longer than the last but you will have to be quick as they are in and will be distributed asap we should have a heap in whyalla by monday.

I have been happy with my 12 and 8m since i got them at the start of season and was lucky to get them! Hope everyone can get theirs soon.

I was in subi store today Surf Sail.
Another week now to wait and they are saying that they are short by a long shot on there order as to what they are actually getting.
They are pretty annoyed by the whole affair also, and it is out of there hands.
But they did pass on the M8 distributor for Aussie he's based in Noosa and this is his email if you wish to contact him and say your piece , eventually these guys hopefully listen to there customers or guys will change brands most likely if it's so difficuilt to get these kites.
