Did fly the Blade Vertigo 08 first time yesterday in 25 knots and instantly fell in LOVE.

This Kite is true value for money !
Its so easy to fly, minimal Bar pressure, light and stable. Fast turning, and very responsive. It goes upwind like a trooper and has all the depower you wish for.

Well, what more can i say, if you look for a new Kite and the budget dosent want go
skyhi with you, go skyhi with Blade.

Find a dealer near you, i am sure they let you try a demo, i know i will.

pray for wind !

Thats right, we have two retailers in QLD, LSD and Sunshine Coast Kiteboarding Co., both have demos. Give them a try, you too can fall in love with your kite....

Thats strange, we haven't appointed a retailer in WA yet...... so Ozzi can't be a shop....

Can't help great kites. They sell themselves.

"arent blade the cheap "hyundai" of kites?"

Blade Kites are in the top 90% of international kite brands and one of the fastest growing brands in Europe. We sell them cheap because we can and we feel most of the other brands are taking Australian Kiters for all they can. People pay $1850 for a SB3, do you know what the shops are paying???? I do!

It shouldn't be a case of "they're cheap so they must be cr@p kites" its more like, "they fly pretty good and they cost how much??? I'll get a quiver at that price!"

And by the way, we as a company pay for advertising on seabreeze.

Thanks

woaw hey, some poor relative ?

whatever, man, what i wrote about he Vertigo is how i feel about it, after all i flown it, and i do love it.
True i do sell the Blades in my shop like other brands to.
Anyhow, why dont you try one out and find out if i only piiimped or if there is truth behind my words.
I flown quiet a few diffrent kites lately, and i have to back Blade to the T.
Value for money, fun for value.
poor reli, give us your verdict after you tried one.

LAURIE LOOK'S
THINGS ARE HEATING UP OUT THERE. WITH SO MANY NEW BRANDS I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THE KITING COMMUNITY IS STARTING TO REALISE THAT THERE IS SO MUCH GOOD PRODUCT & GREAT PRICES, & THAT WE ARE SO SHELTERED FROM THE AVAILABILITY OF PEODUCTS OVERSEAS.
I HOPE THE BIG BOYS ARE NOT GIVING YOU TO MUCH GRIEF,
BUT HEY ! YOU CAN'T MAKE A OMLETTE WITH OUT BREAKING A FEW EGGS.
FANTASTIC SITE . I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU OVER THE NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS AS THINGS CHANGE .
HAVE A GOOD CHRISTMAS
EVERY ONE.

I would like to say we took out the 08 Blade vertigo 10 yesterday in wind starting at 18 knots and then getting to around 28 knots. The kite was set up straight out of the bag. We had the 5 line set up and 4 different riders starting at beginner right through to very experienced. The outcome was a very good kite stable with minimal bar pressure all through the wind range excellent upwind performance and hang time for the more experienced riders these kites turn on a dime. I would highly recommend these kites get to your local dealer and take a demo for a ride.The kite was supplied by Glascraft marine in Adelaide and retails for a 10 meter kite at $1225.00 a bargain.

i bought the blade 08 7m and 10m they go great for me in the waves
dont know how they boost cause i ride unstrapped but they are smooth
and they go upwind heaps better than my old c kites
i took off the 5th line and cable tied the chicken loop to stop it spinning
so its easier to un hook/hook back in
simpler the better
they fly good pull smoothly and are cheap
mind you all the 08 kites look good
anyway i rate em
