Also I calculated that cost of kites in real terms have gone down in last 13 years, A Cabrinha Switchblade 12m in 2007 was close to $2000, and our AuD was actually a bit higher.




But remember in 2007 a kite came complete with a bar and pump...



And in 2020 you don't even get a chicken loop included with some bar n lines setups.
Surely production volumes have skyrocketed worldwide since 2007 and there are considerable savings from economies of scale.


Hmmmmm, why include one when you can scalp a few bucks for it. Oh hang on I think the speil is they don't know what size you want so it's prudent to let you decide and then charge you for the privilege.
