Hang on. I doubt the chinese would ever copy or reverse engineer anything.

Hi all, I heard there are some china kite manufacturers that produce and sell kites which are copy of brand kites.
Has anybody bought or tested these kites?
Does anybody know the factory´s name or contact?
thanks

Stabber kites perhaps???

Try www.alibaba.com and do a search on kites, look in subcategory of surfing.

their retail outlet is through some dude in indonesia

totally legit, but because of copyright infringements, you have to send the full purchase price up front, and deal with emails in secret squirrel coded pigeon english

to someone with a p.o box in bogor (have you ever been to bogor, i got stuck there for three days once, never belive an indonesian chemistry student when he tells you his homemade mdma is perfectly safe)

but just do it, you're kites will eventually turn up and you'll save like three hundred bucks!!!!

a whole three hundred bucks!!!

imagine all the spare parts and repairs you'll be able to afford from a legit dealer here in this great country that you live in with the three hundred bucks that you save...


I seriously hope that you get totally ripped off and your job gets outsourced to china and your house repossessed and sold to chinese

Doctor.....I regret to inform you that Indonesian´s sellers are simply a big fraud!
because there ain´t Kitesurf Manufacturers in Indonesia.
I thank you so much for your wishes, but I can´t agree with your opinion since the famous kite brands produce their kites in China (and not in USA, Australia or Europe with local manufacurers) in order to get more profit.
All around the world you can buy italian´s cheese,italia´s spaghetti and so on....have you ever check they were 100% from Italy?
have a nice day and hope you´ll keep your job and your house.

Are you Chinese?

Its all about quality control. Major kite brands have it even though they are manufactured in China. Chinese gear doesn't.

keep your money in aust, buy a decent 2nd hand kite which will fund someone else's purchase on a new brand name kite
trust me if you look hard enough you will found what you want for the price you want

nono - theDoctor was being facetious which is a great Australian passtime. He's referring to a fraudulant Indonesian kite seller that featured on this forum a while ago.

What is your motivation for buying a kite from China? There are many posts on this forum about kites from China and how it's just not worth it. There's no after sales service, no backup, inferior design kites etc just to save a few hundred bucks.

Ive just placed an order of 100000

Are you Ben Wilson?

Didn't China invent the kite about 3000 years ago

^^ That was Afghanistan champ.

A third of the price of the Norths and still the same problems, still twice as much as they are worth then......

quote from the doctor :

you sure are a mean person lots of everyday products manufactured in China merely for the sake of cost, i assume you indeed would have some !!!

Monkey see monkey do..... If you've been makin kites for 3000 years I'm sure a couple of years from now 'no name' brands will be as good as (if there not already)

if you leave it that long.... you are most definitely farqued

when you have a gov program outsourced to the private sector (whose only concern is making money off their charters) turning out useless and mollycoddled apprentices who at twenty odd are not even close to adults and far beyond useless as tradesmen and in the fastest moving economy in the country, a whole town stops to allow the transport of infrastructure for the multinationals to be transported from ship to site... infrastructure that should be built in this country but is built in china and fabricators become assemblers...

we are already well beyond farqued
