Hi Guys.
Its PK here.
I am sure that you have noticed that due to the unprecedented success of our last campaign we have had to take down the website as we sold out in the space of 8 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well,2 weeks ago,whilst in Shenzhen,China I canme across another package of stock albeit VERY limited quantities.
What we have is 30 (Thats right,thirty only) "C" kites and 135cm boards.The kite sizes are 10/12/14mt kites and are supplied complete.
So you might ask whats the offer?Well here it is:
10/12 OR 14MT "C" KITE WITH 135CM GAASTRA BOARD FO US$850 DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST OFFER EVER ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!
The kites are all branded EXTRON,who have been unable to pay for the stock,as per the attached pictures.We have ridden them over the past week and they are awesome.
So what do I get for US$850.00?
Kiteboard complete with fins,grabhandle,hardware,pads and footstraps.
"C" kite complete with Bar,lines,pump,bag,quick release safety system and repair kit.
Please see attached pictures for info.
How are we going to do this?
It will be on a first in best dressed scenario.When we are sold out thats it.
We need you to commit to us if you want stock,so let us know what you want and we will hold it for you.
All stock will be paid for on an Escrow basis,you make the payment to an independant Escrow service and we will ship the stock.When it arrives you have seven days to advise the Escrow service that it is upto standard and we can then get paid.This is RISK FREE! for both parties.
ALL STOCK will be shipped at the same time,that is once ALL stock is sold so we can then ship it to Hong Kong and forward onto you.This will keep costs down and also give both you and us the confidence that the shipping works and is trackable!!!!
If you want to know if we do deliver please email us with your queries and we will answer them as well as email you the contact details of customers who are prepared to verify our credentials.
OK so here are the relevant specifications for the gear:

if your going to get a C kite grab a USED KITE, last years are going super cheap, sweet kites with one pump and proven safety systems:
http://www.nwkite.com/forums/f-2.html
I guess I am all for cheap gear, but who knows what year those things were designed... they could be re-branded 2002-2003 kite designs. C kites in those years are nothing compared today. Also who knows how well the safety on the bar works.
There was a similar deal a few years ago with a brand called simply "China Kite" ... they were pretty bogus designs and didn't hold up for long.
