Has anyone been to core board shop in geelong? I've picked a new north dice 10m with bar/lines for $1500 couple months ago. These guys are like hundreds cheaper than say KR.
Yeah he doesn't kiteboard so has no idea, doesn't keep any stock and has stopped selling kite gear. Reckon you got it cheap cos he's dumping the gear.
Dudes relax!!! I am new and wondering why no-one mentioned these guys. Just a pure good deal thats all
The shops ok, the bloke running it needs to try harder on his people skills though he is a windsurfer
Me: Hey I need a new kite, I know ill go try the local Shop Guy rather than the internet.
Me: Hi Shop Guy, what is the Rebel like to fly?
Shop Guy: I don't know I don't kite.
Me: Oh Have you got any information on it?
Shop Guy: Not really
Me: Oh
Shop Guy: I am a really keen windsurfer
Me: Oh
Shop Guy: Do you want to buy a SUP its the worlds fastest growing water sport?
Me: Er, No, sorry not ready for retirement yet.
Me: So you cant tell me anything about the kite?
Shop Guy: No
Me: Ok which size can I take to demo?
Shop Guy: I don't allow people to demo kites.
Me: Pardon? You don't demo kites?
Shop Guy: No, if I allow you to demo and you don't buy the kite then I am out of pocket.
Me: Well don't you have a single kite that you allow people to demo?
Shop Guy: No, I would loose money on it.
Me: Seriously, you cant expect me to drop two grand on a kite you cant tell me anything about and you wont let me demo.
Shop Guy: That's about it, I am only selling them because they come as a package with the SUP's.
Me: Straight home on the web to buy a F.One Bandit.
Moral of the story, local shop or not, if you cant value add to the sale with experience and support you will not be getting any of my money!

So sad but so True.
Sad but true... but at least honest...
probably better than a few sales persons that would give you hips of bS about it... or just read out the sales pitch...
Still a pretty poor effort, if you stock gear, one would assume you try to sell it... even if it is not your core business, plus you can always take onboard someone you can do it...

This is why I lament the loss of Kitepower Geelong. They knew exactly everything about anything kite related.
*sigh*
