That appears to be a hungarian dealer of Slingshot.
http://www.slingshotsports.com/site/index.html would be the US version to compare it agains.
They are high quality kites, for sure. But then again, these days, anything from a major manufacturer is pretty good. Just make sure you don't get
any cheap knockoffs from china or the like. If the price is too good to be true, there is a good chance it is!
Personally, I really like the slingshot brand, at least their kites have always done me well.

Thank you all for the answer!!!
I cheked out the official USA website, the prizes pretty much the same.
I am from Hungary so that would be the easyest choice for me. Anybody has some experience with the dealer? Or better to order from USA?
Cheers

I think ordering from overseas is going to set you back as much or more in freight as the import duties paid by your local dealer, if not more. Plus
if you go local you can probably get a first hand look before you buy.
Aim low. Reach your goals, and avoid disappointment.

I called the local retailer, he explained all the kites and boards to me according to my weight and skills. His prizes include tax a duties. I'll buy
one from him and share the experience with you on this forum!!!

The RPM is a nice kite. They're made here in oregon so that makes them good all on their own  Seriously though, the RPM is probably the top kite I see flying in the gorge and out at the coast. Hope it works out for you and your
area!

Hungary is one of my favorite destinations.
