Just like the subject. Where does everyone buy there gear offline? or does everyone buy local? I noticed Dakites posts on this forum so I'm sure many
will say his shop. Anyone know of another online shop with competitive prices? I plan on picking up a new divine harness through dakites though.

There are many shops that post onto this forum. Most of them are very reputable shops that will work with you. Some will have a good supply of
stock and be able to ship to you right away, others are more mail-order and will have to order in your kite for you after you have ordered it and paid
for it.
It is always best to support your local shop whenever possible. Even if the price locally is slightly more than what you can find in a fly-by-night
mail order online shop. Your local shop will be the one that will be able to help you when you need it most. If it is for replacement parts, special
instructions or just information about the local conditions, local riders and where you can fly. I would also bet that if you work with your local
shop, they would be able to match just about any price you could find online. By supporting your local store, you help your community as well as help
this sport grow.
If you are unfortunate to not have a local shop that can take care of you then online may be your only option. We have one of the largest in-house
stock of power kites and accessories as well as all other types of kiting and equipment. We have a fully stocked showroom and a brick-n-mortar
building. Kites is our day job and we love what we do.
Hope that helps.dandre - 30-3-2012 at 01:24 PM
BTW kent is awesome.
best 300 dollars I ever spent.
If I ever buy new he's my goto guy
Keep an eye on his used/demo/overstock
Some awesome bargains in there.lamrith - 30-3-2012 at 02:08 PM
Another +1 for Kent (awindofchange)
Upfront, honest, easy to talk to and AWESOME guud customer service. If I do not buy local, he is where I go.shehatesmyhobbies - 30-3-2012 at 02:21 PM
Kent is very right about this, it is best to try and support your local shop. Although we are not a brick an mortar store,(there are only three of us
in DE that buggy that we know of:lol We do carry a decent amount of stock
including buggies. We are not as big as the rest, but we do take care of our customers needs and if we do not have what they need will send them in
the right direction to get what they need. If you are ever on the East Coast, you have to come to the Wildwood Buggy Bash, quickly becoming one of the
largest bashes in the country! Or stop by and put a kite up with us! You are sure to have a blast!
Welcome to the forum and I hope you get addicted!g00fba11 - 30-3-2012 at 02:21 PM
Indigo put together a good list......
I haven't bought something from everyone on that list but Angus, Dino, Kent, and Jeff are awesome..... I am sure the other are super also just havent
ordered from them.........
I would add http://www.kiteboarding.com/ (in association with fixmykite.com) great bunch of guys......hiaguy - 30-3-2012 at 05:56 PM
Don't forget that in the "For Sale" forum, there's the Good Trader List.
Personally, I can recommend awindofchange and big mike in the USA and canadiankitecompany.com if you're north of the 49th and feel a need to shop
