Thanks to Powerzone Kitesports
Thanks to John at Powerzone for repairing my favorite kite, my 11.2 Vapor.
He repaired it and returned extremely quick and it was at a very, very good price I felt for the damage to the kite.
And now she flies just like new!
Thanks again John

John does awesome work at very reasonable prices and takes great pride in his work. I know he spent a lot longer on one of my kites then he intended
because he wanted to get it right regardless of how little profit was left on the table for him when he decided not to raise the price quoted me
regardless of the additional work he did not anticipate. All around good addition to the kiting family. I would have no reservations with him
working on any of my gear.

I called John up a couple weeks ago, looking to get a new infinity bar for my new silver arrow. Even though he could have made a few bucks off a sale
of the new bar, he advised me to keep the bar I have because it was still new, the new largest bar is shorter and weighs more than the old. Even
though he said he was on his way out, he still was willing to talk with me. I had an excellent conversation with him, talking about everything kiting.
I ended up ordering a new set of lines for my 12m, FDS for the 19m and a chicken loop upgrade. I've done business with him a couple other times. He
fixed up a 10m synergy that I shredded wide open in the water. Cost me $60 plus the shipping costs. Also to tune and install FDS on my 12m speed 2. I
would recommend him to anyone looking for kite work, or for ordering parts for their gear. Hope I can get out his way one day, to shake his hand and
thank him for the excellent service he's given me and anyone who's ever dealt with him.

always provided quality and prompt service.
He is a quality guy.

John's the man! :bigok: Just got my S3 21 back and it looks good, rapid turn-around and no hassles! And even with shipping both ways, it was half the
cost of what it would have been here :o
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

yep!!!
when i first got bit by the power kite bug i was somehow fortunate to come into contact John.
he spent quite a lot of time with me and showed true patience and gave great advice. all with no talk of purchasing/selling...just getting to know me
and what path i might best take.
his price point, advice (stemming from knowledge and experience), service, and his quality of workmanship all combined is outstanding and
all-together admirable especially in todays FU2 world.
if most businesses ran their show half as good as John wow what a world this would be.
Paul
i will mention that i have had the same service and/or friendly talks/advice/offers of help from many of the PKF family that also are in the kite
business. Dakitez, Rip, and BigKid come quickly to mind and it is now way my intention of slighting the other PKF fellas in the trade by not
mentioning more names.
Kent and Angus are also mentioned very often at the Good Traders thread and rightfully so.
it's the outside world business owners that i eluded that P me off more times than not!!!
