good sites to buy from

Hey guys, I 'm looking for any good sites that will ship worldwide because the market here is almost nonexistent. I am specifically looking for 3-4m traction kites.

Are you asking about retailers or second hand ?

Unfortunately there are some scams running that could stand as a road block for you.

I suggest you convince people that you have good intentions . Maybe better explain the Country you are from. If it is Poland, I suggest you contact SkyCountry kites. They are produced very near you.

Sky Country are really good kites.

I 'm from cyprus. i don't mind getting a used if there would be a way to make sure it's in good condition. actually i found out this site(http://www.tractionkitesuk.com/) and got me thinking if it would be a good idea to buy from the net.

any of the bigger shops ship everywhere. Some of the smaller ones do too.
with a bit of searching you will find a few good one here on the forum.

There you go!
2 of 1/2 dozen or so companies that visit this site have replied.

For used gear , this is a very trusted site. The seller will have to decide if they want to send it to you or not. Most would , at your cost.

As I mentioned. There have been a few scammers lately so forgive some members if they are unsure.

I thought sky country were produced in Canada? Am I confusing them with some other brand or do they just have some distribution up there?

My two favorites are Big Mike's Kites and Coastal Windsports.... Dakitez is great too... I bought stuff from all three and have had good experiences with all of them.

For buggy gear, I always shoot Van at VTT an email.

BIG endorsement for http://www.awindofchange.com here. I've ordered lines and kites from Kent. If he says he ships worldwide, your search is over right there. No need to look further.

Born Kites in Germany have shipped stuff to me in Australia in about 9 days. Steffen (Born) has been great to deal with.

Flysurfer is also in Germany. For used kit, check out kitecrowd.com. They have an extremely active community. Most will ship inside the EU, so I can't imagine Cyprus would be a big deal.
