Thumbs up Awesome!

Awesome!

Please make sure that your demo kites have the bridles attached and all necessary parts before letting a noob take them out of the shop. I had to try and help fix one of these last week at East Beach and he said was from your shop and that he was demoing it. His LF kite you repaired popped upon inflation, BTW.
In addition, this kid was teaching his friends on it, and none of them had a clue what they were doing. New instructor I guess?
Very uncool dude, and next time I will record it so you don't think I am just here stirring crap.

Not sure which model you sold my student J.M. before his lessons (I think it was a Vector), but the kite would not relaunch at all in 10 knots, so it's not as beginner friendly as you say it is. You can put that one off on my 10 years of "inexperience", and that I just don't know how to relaunch a kite.

Can you at least wait until they are done with their lessons to sell them gear so I don't have to deal with it?

Thanks,
Steve Sadler
