Get your gear from Kitepower Sydney. It is just as efficient as living next to a kite store. They don't mess around and they always have stock

hey - thanks for the good wishes and the plugs guys.
the 'Geelong Kites' shop is still here for another few weeks.
We're looking at closing by early March.
The online store will remain for some time, and possibly will even continue with the landkiting (which no one else seems to be doing), and kiteboarding lessons over summer, unless the gap is filled by some other shop.
I was at the Barwon heads beach nearly all day yesterday (with a 3h lesson) and it was a pleasure, even though the wind just didn't come through for a decent session... So I'll definitely get out a bit more when more time becomes available.
Cheers,

Goshen,
This is sad news for your business mate. Unfortunately, no matter how good a thing is, if it's not sustainable, it won't last.
I met you at Steve's shop one day and we had a cool chat about land kiting. I love it and I think it's a sport that deserves a lot more attention from the kiting community.
All the best bro!
