I just wanted to thank you all for your patronage through the years. I have decided to stop selling kites, but I still plan to continue flying. See you at an event near you

Last day of the website will be beginning of feb. I still have some stuff left so if you need something let me know. Whatever I have left will go on ebay till its all gone.

Sorry to hear that you're closing.. Hope it all works out for you and is on your terms....

Sorry to hear it Dino! Good luck on your future endeavors whatever they may be!

Was a pleasure doing business with you Dino. Not only upon purchase, but follow up support was solid as hell...

All the best. R.I.P. Dakitez!

Dino .... truly sorry to hear it ...

No!

Hopefully all is well.

Aw man....I'm sorry to hear this....hopefully, like it was said earlier, that it was on your terms.

I'll miss the amazing support and customer service you provided to me over the years...

Wow I signed on for the first time in months and that is some heavy news. Dino thank you for all the good times! I bought my first good kite from you years ago and you helped me learn how to fly and ride the buggy. Best wishes for the future my friend. I am sure you will continue with the same enthusiasm with whatever business you choose!
Cheers!
I still am going to bug you to come out on the water!

Sorry to see you end the business. Good to hear you plan to keep on flying.
Still going to hang out here on the forum from time to time?

Thanks for the help over the years Dino

Best of luck to you in your future projects

sorry to here it , keep rockin' the wind man

I'm glad this is a positive move forward for you Dino. Enjoy your retirement!

Best wishes in the future, hope this means less stress and more fun flying for ya.

Brother that is exactly what I am hoping for as well

Best wishes in your future Dino.

The 1st at everything is always the best. I will never forget meeting you and a few others at Ivanpah our 1st year there and feeling like we all became fast friends. Hopefully this won't change our annual meet up in the desert?

Sorry to hear you're closing, and wish you all the best, I never got a chance to meet you, but I've heard a lot of wonderful things through the days.

You have been an excellent dealer and a true ambassador of the sport. You have always been a friendly face, helpful over the phone and a real help to so many in so many ways.

Hope we can connect on the playa in the future. I would like that.

Press on, my friend.

Dino, thanks for being such a great guy for this sport and business. Glad to hear you are still going to be kiting, and maybe you can come visit us on the East Coast again!

Anyone who provides and promotes gear for a sport with a limited following does it for love and not riches.

We have to buy our gear from someone...and selling gear that's not 'mainstream' or greatly popular is as risky as flying a power kite in high gusty shifty winds.

Enjoy the sport you promoted and provided for, now.

By the way... any big sale to move stuff quick ...?

Now there won't be an excuse if you don't make it up to SOBB this year!

Thanks for feeding our addiction and enjoy your retirement

ron

A true pleasure in all our dealings.
I think it's time to fly!

Good luck with whatever you do next :D

Dino sorry to hear this . Thank you for the help over the years. Best wishes for your future.

Best of luck to you. Best of luck shifting your surplus too, you could consider donating a few to people or organisations who might benefit from them?

Eddyp that is what I have done for the last 7 years. I have gave plenty of donations, sponsorships, and time to the people and this sport. Now it's time for me to give that time and effort into my family, God , friends, and enjoying life.

I've just placed an order from your site. My first with you but I'm already sad to see you go. I still plan on dealing with Big Mike for any future purchases but your discount was too good to pass up. Sad to see the shop go but glad to hear your time will be spent well.

Thanks for the Peter Lynn Hornet 3M

***Edit Follow-Up***

Well I received the kite I ordered from dakitez.com but it came from BigMikesKites.com instead lol. I had to do a double take and I definitely ordered from dakitez.com but it came from bigmikeskites.com anyway. I laughed when I first read it though because Big Mike was who I was planning to order from anyway until I read about the close out from dakitez.com. Either way order recieved and I'm now a proud owner of a brand new Hornet 3M.

Its been an honor repping Dakitez over the years. Thank you for everything Dino. I owe a LOT to you and your support. Good winds brother!

Best of luck in the next chapter Dino. You're a real class act and fine ambassador of the sport. It was a true pleasure and honor to do business with you over the years. You were always the first place I checked for new gear...I'll miss that but am happy for you at the same time!
