I have been studying the bloody computer for weeks now trying to find a kite. I am wanting to know if someone knows of a good place for a good deal around the Gold Coast area.
I would like a 12m preferably Cabrina or ozone complete set. Price range $1000- $1700.
Been looking on here as we'll but not sure if I can trust what I read, almost been had recently but quickly picked up on the dodgy crap.
Thanks for any help I get as I am only just beginning this sport

Hit the boys up at Surf FX. They do all the cab and ozone on the coast and the after sales service is great!

You should be able to pick up a brand newie (last years model) in that price range. Looks like you know what you want, so just shop about (be quick if your looking for a 2012 tho') and remember if you buy over seas and it costs over $1000 you'll be hit up for import duty (about $1'000'000) and everyone will hate you for not supporting your local.
