Does anyone know of any Victorian or Australian manufacturers of kiteboarding kites or harnesses? I'm sure the local board makers are doing kite boards, it would be good to know who's doing it but it would also be good to know who is making stuff or modding or if you can get stuff custom made.

Fluid are the only local guys in Victoria doing kites.

Don't think anyone in Australia is doing harnesses and I don't think it would be cost effective to do it here.

The owner of fluid has a kite shop which has just opened up in Altona if you want to go in and have a chat to him.

It's called KSS (Kite Surf Sup)

I think you are mistaking here: isn't "Flying Object" a 100% Australian brand for kite surfing harnesses especially?

I bought a board from Find Board Sports, locally designed but mass produced in you know where!
Board and foot straps are great, havent got any issues.
Price was much cheaper then big name brands.

Only crap thing about the find boards was the plastic fins which break pretty quickly.
