Think about this:
It may be the some of the nasty brands will have to disappear, as we will look for the ones that last more than a season!! This is good!
It will keep a sort of people out of sport: the "prospectors" will have to think twice before "committing" the money to buy equipment "just to give it a try", ending inflating the causalities statistics!! This is good!
However, in my opinion, it will slow down the young real talents, as mum's and dad's will not be so happy to spend "mega bucks" on the equipment. This is very bad!!
Most of us will have to learn to fix and maintain our equipment. This is good!! (better for the environment).
It may clean up the "landscape" of the kitesurfing industry of the "dodgy" operators (in training and sales), as with the margins getting very slim, only the real, established ones will survive (if we like it or not). This is in between good ad bad - he, he.
