what is a good website to buy a power kite from? i dont want to get ripped off or s
hipping to take forever lol. i live in the U.S. =]

Ardrouin,

We have a large selection of "in stock" power kites and are factory authorized dealers for Ozone, HQ, Prism, Revolution, Peter Lynn and many others. We may not be the cheapest on the net but we back our products and pride ourselves on great customer service.

We won't rip you off and ship within 24 hours on all items in stock. We accept all major credit cards as well as Paypal and also have a free shipping option for qualified orders as well as our own "AWOC club points" system that can earn you free gear.

There are also other dealers from reputable shops here on the Powerkiteforum that will also take care of you, I am sure they will also chime in.

Although you can find great prices online, it is always best to support your local dealer. After all if you ever get in a pinch or need to know what the common weather conditions are....or want to know the best places to fly or even where the local guys are flying at....only your local dealer will know these things. In many cases your local dealer is working as hard if not harder than many online shops to really go out of their way to serve their community. You may pay a couple dollars more when you shop locally but if you get in a pinch and need a part or specialized information, your local guy will be there for you. We deal with many kite shops all over the U.S. and I am pretty sure that if you are looking for a special item, your local guy can get it for you and in most cases will match any price online.

If you are unlucky enough to live in an area where you don't have a local shop or if there is a rare instance that your local shop refuses to take care of you then give us a call.

Hope that helps.

if you ever want to buy used,just look here for those kites--ive bought lots of used stuff here and everyone ive dealt with has been honest to a fault--good people here:singing:

Don't be discouraged by the lack of response here. There are a few online sellers on this forum and most all of us have used them at one point or another for purchase or advice. If everyone else is the same as me, we just don't want to highlight any one in particular and accidentally leave someone out. Like Geo said - anyone on here is top notch. I've also bought from ColoradoKiteForce.com (US) and PowerkiteShop.com (in the UK) and despite the currency and shipping it was a pretty good experience.

So, at the risk of missing someone (which I'm sure I will)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, sorry to those I missed.
