Just searching the web for various kite related stuff and came across this mob from germany carvedcustoms.com/en/ their stuff looks really good, a couple of questions came to mind after looking at their site firstly is this the same people that make Core Kites and Boards and has anyone tried one of their boards? Also who sells these in Aus? Just the same people who normally sell Core Kites and boards? Cheers to anyone that can answer my questions

those boards do look good. they have some good technology going on in there.

I would love to ride one.

i reckon i might try to find at the local and borrow one first, given they are 1,299 EUR!

They go up to 1999EUR... That's over $3000AUD delivered. They'd better take you out for dinner before they bend you over and f@#% you.

Yeah they do have some awesome designs,. They have an even nicer showroom, its at the top of this massive hill with huge glass frontage,... I think so they can see the suckers coming from miles away

All jokes aside I still really want!

Yes it is the same company behind Carved and Core. Boards have been around longer than Core kites. True custom made as you can define about anything (incl flex etc, full or partial carbon etc). Imo awesome boards but current exchange rate does not help. Neither the fact that the Australian market lacks various brands. A larger pool to choose from and higher level of competition would not hurt.
