With no doubt, they are one of the best companies with a "customer first" approach! I've bought my first two kites here and a bar at very good prices.
As we were waiting for a kite in the color I've chosen, Cameron gave me another kite (different color) so I could use it for a few days 😍
Even at the end of the season, great selection of equipment

Let's be honest.
Good service is scarce. And if you come across a company that provides excellent service, it is worth bragging about.
They delivered at my house exactly almost on the click of the checkout.
Thanks Cameron for assisting so promptly.
Appreciate you guys for focusing on something so many businesses lack.
