Even stranger is that someone will actually buy it. There is a sucker born every day! Between $1500 kites and $900 boards, it's obvious we are all being taken advantage of here...
Consider that you can buy a 9'6" epoxy long board surf board for like $600.
How about a better comparison.. you can buy a full carbon fiber stepped skateboard deck (which is significantly more difficult to make than a kite board) for $100.
Well anyway.. now you know why I started making my own boards... $900 is way too much for one board especially since kiteboarding is quickly becoming main stream.
