Anyone sell Liquid Force kites?
Got a buddy here who wants two new ones, but doesn't want to pay FedEx shipping from Realkiteboarding ...
This is what he's after ...

What size does he want? And does he need bar/lines?

Kamikuza - 31-8-2009 at 06:25 PM

A 9 and a 12 ... not sure about bar and lines, he's got an Airush atm for sure, dunno about his other kites. So at least one bar.
I guess he's shopping for a good price, especially on shipping. Real wanted to charge me $150 to FedEx a $120 harness to Japan, so he's a bit spooked about that.

He's having to buy from overseas cos there's no Liquid Force importer here ... in fact, very soon they'll be no Dakine importer either - and I still need a 2010 spreader bar pad :(

USPS is actually a decent way to go, not the most expensive air parcel rate but the next one down. 13 pounds to HK from the eastern coast for about $80 US (insured) to hong kong, guam might be cheaper being us territory.

But Real refuse to do anything other than FedEx, hence the call for the shop owners :)

yeah good call, real kiteboarding sounds big enough to start dehumanizing the folks who work for it, good reason to find a small shop.... esp. one that puts time into this community.

the mailing info was for the shops, tho it's likely they'll be sorted about shipping providers, won't need my hints
:embarrased:

ok, call Bob at gorge performance . com

he's got loads of LF kites, and will ship anyway you'd like

good luck,

oh, awesome deals

I can get you some. Price includes complete kite package - Kite, bag, bar, lines & pump. I can ship for appx. 65.00 each.

Price for the 12m is $1259.00
Price for the 9m is $1159.00
If you don't need bar and lines, deduct $100.00

These are new. If you are going to purchase both kites then I may be able to work a little better deal for ya.
