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.

Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.

Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

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. |

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.
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

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.
I'm going to take a nap now

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.
