If you're holding your breath, I would recommend learning how to slow your metabolism.
They downsized a lot a few years ago. Kind of priced themselves out of the US market.... after quite a few price fluctuations that left a sour taste
in the mouth of their retailers. Retailer loaded up on stock and when Flexifoil dipped their price, the retailer is left holding the bag on stock
that was bought at the higher price. With a few exceptions a lot of Flexifoil gear is special order now in the US.
I also think Flexifoil decided that the depower foil was saturated and and when it came time to thin their product line, that's what got the axe.
Henry Rebbeck and Oli Thorman, former Flexifoil designers left Flexifoil and started their own company, Mutiny Kites. Henry was the designer of the Hadlow Pro.

To top off alienating their US dealers, Flexi opened their own retail website to sell to US customers, somehow thinking their dealers would be fine
with that.
