Thanks Riff!

It was a pleasure doing business with Riffclown as well!

Thank you manitoulinkiter1 for a nice transaction, outstanding communication and very good price.

I just got a kite from ThePain321 and it was just as she has said.
All most new and it was shipped the day she got the money. She let me know what was going on at all times.

Serge dealt with me being away from home and my kites. Sent payment before my parents could ship them out (currently in college). Good communication the whole way.

Shout out to grigorib

Thanks for the great communication, fair price and quick shipment on the Vented Rev SLE 1.5 Kite!

A precision kite for high winds :puzzled: ...time for me to learn something new :wee:

Big thanks to rdavis!

He was super understanding and didn't complain about the flood of u2u's.

The kites got in early and were even better than described.

Thanks again!

Huge shout out to Mike Kratochwill and the Lakawa Board Shop! 11/10 satisfaction!

I just had the pleasure of dealing with him.. and let me just begin by saying it was the best purchasing experience I've ever had. Not just in kites, but in anything I have ever bought. :o

I can say quite resolutely that whenever i am in the market for anything kiting related (which is more often than i really should.. hehe), i am going to go to him first.

Quality all around, great price and outstanding customer service.
He went above and beyond in customer service.. answered every question promptly and provided pics and videos.
He took extra time to give me tips and tricks with the kite and instructions for how he packs his kites soooo nicely.
He also went ahead and did a few bonus replacements of bridle lines and minor patch work, simply because he is THAT kind of a guy. What a solid dude.

Kite came quickly, packed super nicely, and everything was in fantastic shape as promised. No hidden surprises.. well except some extra swag goods from his shop that he included! The oddest surprise was $10 as a thankyou inside the bag with the instruction manual and spare parts! hahahaha never had that happen before.
Im not sure Mike knows how to make money..

The thing that impressed me the most was that when i was on the phone with him for the transaction, it was like 5% business and 95% fun. We talked kiting and kiters and got to know each other. Mike sincerely cares about his customers. I got off the phone with a new friend.

This review really doesn't do my experience justice. I highly recommend Lakawa!

Thanks Mike!

K kites got me hooked up! His price was more than fair, shipping reasonable and i now have a kite that i cant wait to tear up the beach with this weekend! Thanks again.

canadian kiter - Fair deal on Venom II 16m, smooth trade, quick shipping.

3shot sold me a Venom II 16m that was exactly as described, and shipped it so fast I got to fly it a weekend sooner than I expected.

Marc-Kite Killer sold me his Punk Rage and he shipped it so fast i got it on Monday, probably would have arrived a day later if it wasn't for the weekend!

SouthPadreBurt just purchased my Ozone Frenzy that I had for sale. Gotta say that it was an extreme pleasure to do business with Burt. Thanks bud! Super good communication and overall easy transaction Wouldn't hesitate to do another transaction with Burt again. Hope you enjoy your new kite. Take care.

I bought Flysurfer Viron 4m, like new from him. good guy
nice kite for my kids to with

Vacation makes me a little slow to remember... sorry...

Sold my 8.6m Reactor II to Michael Gaylan... paid part up front and the rest at JIBE... good honorable guy and easy to do business with.

I'd like to give props to Steve aka swesting here on pkf. Such a great guy to conduct business with.

Now to get it shipped out to you tomorrow morning.

Great kite from Jadog. Just as advertised: crispy new. I would be confident in Jadog for future transactions.

4 great kites from Jadog..... things couldn't be better....thanks for doing business, it was a pleasure...Phantom time

I have sold three kites to Serge through PKF. He is responsive to U2U messages, pays via PayPal immediately once the transaction is complete and is a pleasure to do business with.

I want to give a shout out for Michael Gaylan. He just sold me a great buggy at a fair price. Throughout the process he was very open, trusting, trustworthy, and dedicated to ensuring I was happy, well informed, and fully satisfied. He went above and beyond the call of duty with sending an extra important bolt and nut after the fact and making things right with a few other odds and ends. I particularly appreciated that he trusted me out of the gate even though I was brand spanking new at the time to PKF. I fully recommend him for either selling or buying over the forum. :bigok:

Want to acknowledge what a pleasure it is to do business with Mike at Big Mikes Kites! He is responsive to messages and questions and keeps me in the loop about shipping progress, etc. a nice touch when I bought a couple of PL Lynx DPs is he threw in some nice quality wind chimes for my bride. Classy move. My wife loves them.

Wow Steve, you're really loading up!!!

He must of had some money burning a serious hole in the pocket

swesting: Your quiver is my style. You've got some great gear.

What can I say to this? :alien:

I've worked very hard in my life and have had a few fortunate brakes along the way. I'm a Medical Director for a biotech company that has done pretty well (REGN). But really, I'm just a big kid at heart that giggles when the wind blows. :Ange09:
