awesome stuff! got any prototypes in the pipeline? kite shapes? suited to any styles?

I think the "dagger" should be a model ;)

Will they be a bit heavy when they get wet ?

I thought sheepskin absorbed water

At least they will be soft when they hit somebody at Melville / the Pond / North Cott / South Beach / North Beach / ......

ill take 300 hundred

Sorry to say it but destined to fail with that kind of logo.

Do you think dads or mums want to pump thier kite up infront of thier kids if its got a hand holding a knife with a finger sign that translates to "**** you". Thats an obsenity and not something I would like to take down to my local beach infront of the community.

Also when I think of certian kite companies and what thier kites tell me about them, I look at core and see a simple but clean design that tells me thier company doesnt waste time designing fancy graphics that detract from the kite and make a quality product, when I look at slingshot I again see simple nuetral design using simple geometric shapes that are clean, when I look at an old cabrinha I see skulls and flames and think some idiot designed it trying to make a "hardcore" looking kite but new cabrinha kites are simple and nicely coloured with nuetral graphics.

The logo your describing sounds like a big douchebag alert and kiting in its simplest form detracts from these kinds of people and isntead attractes people with a love for the wind, water and waves at the same time as mother nature, something that Pete Cabrinha captured in his simple logo.

I am both a school teacher and a team rider and if I had that logo large and visible on something I own I would get flamed. Everything we do has to go through the "front page test" if it wouldnt look good on the front page of the news then dont do it.

Sorry but I get quite hung up on these kind of simple mistakes that can make or break something and its reputation.

Even of this is all made up.

Anyone could do a better design than the North Rebels/Vegas designs.

Total dogs balls.

uuummmm what about Stabshot?

and to stand out from the crowed maybe imperial sizes
like 7 and 13/32nds ,9 and 7/10ths

like the sound of the logo, just screams "Mate get out of my way"

and being sheepskin you could use it as a sleeping bag if you get
stuck some where like them dudes down in Victoria

Hey Stabber!!

Thought u were sponsoring us Whitey crew, see'in as we were fundamental in the idea?!! Tightlines is a ballerina on a surfboard, Shannon88 is out there till the cows come home (and needs a new board after shortening his!) And u know I look good in a bikini!

How r u going drawing up the logo? Still want me to see if I can draw it?

Catch u on the water!
Cheers
Miss Jessie!!

P.s. JBB... Bwhahaha... Mate some gd points... But man have u got ur knickers in a knot! :-)

P.s. Ezz ur on the right track!!! (Can name if after my kites; big black (10m), the big kahoona (9.5m), small pink bits (7m) and roadrunner (5m)!!)

"Do you think dads or mums want to pump thier kite up infront of thier kids if its got a hand holding a knife with a finger sign that translates to "**** you". Thats an obsenity and not something I would like to take down to my local beach infront of the community. "

Yes I have thought it over and I think I'll just cut that middle finger off the logo and replace it with an "exclamation ! mark" ....that should fix any F.U. issues the parents may have.

And Debra Hutton's nude front page picture doesn't pass your "front page " test IMO But still is popular.....

Still trying to work out if stabber is serious or not.

Stabbs must be on holidays, besides I think he to smart to be serious about such a venture.

Does it come with a free board leash...?

i'll have the 10m and 7m stabbrinha flickblade

in the rainbow bubblegum graphics,with the special
edition middle finger,no exclamation mark for me thanks

You can call your lightweight learner model the flickblade, the mid-range kite the samurai and the top end c-kite the sledgehammer. You can call your twintip the kerbstomper and the wave board the faceslasher.

Sign me up for one of each. I'll also take the limited edition middle finger and I want all kites to be blood red.

If I can't take the middle finger (for lame-arse politically correctness reasons) then can I have a picture of a fist with a bloody stump from a severed middle finger instead?

Whats your account number and BSB...

From your (EDIT: old) avatar, it looks as though you have your finger in somewhere stabber... Right in there

don't forget stab obsession as another variant

I am working on the kite designs. Finishing off the strut less bladder less non foil non inflating auto relaunch self zenith auto self landing 2 line kite with sharp bar ends for stabbing sharks with a wind range of 6 to 90 knots.
