Hi All in Oz the guys from Extreme Kites run a similar scene
Heres the Info
How it Works
You put your name on the list, you receive the kite, when you're done with it you pass it on to the next person on the list. This is a first come
first served system, we try to keep the kites moving as regularly as possible. Once you receive a kite please email DemoKite@ExtremeKites.Com.Au so we
can provide you with the details of the next person to send the kite to.
*Note: Once you put your name on the list you will receive an email from us within 48 hours requesting your details for kite tracking and delivery
co-ordination purposes.
How Much Does It Cost?
You can try as many kites as you like for $10!
There is a $50 refundable deposit required when booking.
You pay $60 upfront, and can test as many kites as you like. You book a kite, it is sent to you, two weeks later you pass the kite to the next person
on the list. You cover your own costs of postage to pass the kite to the next person. Once the kite arrives in good condition, you can either request
your $50 deposit back, or put your name down for another kite!
It is NOT $10 per kite, it is $10 for as many kites as you like!
How many kites can I book to demo at the same time?
You are welcome to have your name waiting for 3 kites at a time.
We will increase this number as the number of kites we have access to increases.
Demo Kite Loan Guide
- Please only keep the kite for a couple of weeks, this helps keep the kites moving through peoples' hands. We try and get the kites to you as quick
as possible, it's great if you could do the same for others!
- Please pack the kites up properly, do not send kites in a tangled mess.
- Include everything you received in the package when sending the kite on to the next person.
- Periodically we will ask for the kites to be returned to us for inspection
- Please don't trash the kites, the service is here for everyone to enjoy trying new kites!
-Don't pack up a wet kite. Make sure the kite dries properly before packing it up. Packing up a wet kite can cause colors to run.
- After you have flown and enjoyed a kite we would really appreciate a review of the kite submitted to our reviews system sharing your opinion.
- This Community Scheme is only open to Australian residents, this is not an International system.
Damaged Kites
If you damage a kite please notify us immediately!
If you receive a kite that has been damaged please notify us immediately upon receiving the kite.
If you do not notify us of damage within 3 days of receiving the kite we will assume the kite arrived in good condition.
Repair costs for any damage sustained to a kite whilst on loan to you will be deducted from the $50 deposit and the difference refunded to you.
Lost or Stolen Kites
If you loose a kite you will be expected to pay in full for the kite, so when sending kites on to the next person please ensure they are sent as
insured items to their retail value.
If you steal a kite we will publicly name you and pursue you.
Legal Note
This is a community scheme to help get manufacturer's and retailer's kites out there for people to demo. Extreme Kites shall not be held liable in any
way for any personal injury, 3rd party injury, or 3rd party property damage that may result from the use of any demo kite. Make sure you are a member
of 3rd party liability insurance, such as the Geelong & District Kite Club. As always, fly in a safe manner and within your experience level.
Experience is something you get, just after you need it!
