wow.....

$1500 bucks for a 7m........ and under "base components included" it doesnt even mention a bar.......

Even stranger is that someone will actually buy it. There is a sucker born every day! Between $1500 kites and $900 boards, it's obvious we are all being taken advantage of here...

Consider that you can buy a 9'6" epoxy long board surf board for like $600.

How about a better comparison.. you can buy a full carbon fiber stepped skateboard deck (which is significantly more difficult to make than a kite board) for $100.

Well anyway.. now you know why I started making my own boards... $900 is way too much for one board especially since kiteboarding is quickly becoming main stream.

These kites come complete with the bar!! If you call Wayne at the shop, he will throw in a free board. Liquid Force I believe!!

thats really nice of him, but it doesnt change the fact that the manufacturer sets the price that high....

I better keep it un-real.

btw, i wasnt in any way talking down on the shop, im sure all the shops have them at the same price, they jsut happened to be the one i saw it on....

Some people think you get what you pay for.

hey, no worries, inferno. no offense taken!! i just happened to read your post and thought that i'd mention that the kites come complete, and that they are running a free board special with it. not trying to pimp emerald coast, but when you live in p.c. and count 8 heads on a windy day as "everyone's here!!" gotta give em some support!!! LOL

yeah, like what scott said, some people think they get what they pay for... an according to responses after trying the cabrinhas, we'd be paying an awful lot for "a really nice bar." i used to ride cabs, just don't care for them anymore. different strokes for different folks!

A $700 bar! Sweeeeet! :D

Yeah, not knocking the shop, thats the retail price... and thats the problem!
