I like Kent's idea. Only problem will be all the new fliers we lose because they bought a POS that could not fly, got frustrated and bail on the sport. The economy the last few years has most people looking for something for the least $ possible. It unfortunately gives these junk kites added interest. Hopefully most of them will realise it is the cheap knockoff they bought, and not they type of kite... Even worse is just how close to EXP pricing some of those knock-offs are..
I was lucky enough to already be in the kiting scene before I came to Rev's, I heard ahead of time how bad these knock-offs were and didn't give them a second glance. Most new fliers I fear will not have that forewarning.
Anyone have any ideas how we can get the word out there so when people search and find one of those adds, right next to it is a rev one, or at least a link to good information/this forum so we can educate people before they buy?
