Sometime on the web I find private people who sell online kitesurfs brand new or used just 2 times (they say) - now I found 2 Vegas North 2010 - for ridiculous prices (800 incl. the bar) or on the beach I see flying kites with colors that don't exist in the catalogue in the website.
So I'm asking if it's possible there are false kites...false like bags for women or watches...

i have always suspected that the spanish chorizo sausage i buy at woolworths isn't authentic either.

well spotted, Vpasta (too hard to spell your username sorry.)

You mean false kitesurf like false women in Puket?

Sounds like you are asking about whether or not there are counterfeit kites. Not that I have ever heard of but there are lots of scammers operating online selling non-existent kites. (e.g., you send money, no kite ever existed and will never be shipped, seller mysteriously disappears -- If it sounds too good to be true....)

Stay away from paying for anything online unless you know something about the seller or can look at it before you pay for it. If anyone starts running scams on SeaBreeze buy and sell the word gets around pretty quickly.

Anything to do with kites that is associated with Alibaba.com is guaranteed to be a scam; lots of scammers from Indonesia, China, and other places in Asia also operate on eBay.
