Keeping in mind how they are used and abused,
How they are treated with the utmost contempt,
I guess it must be said how incredibly generous it is of the manufacturers,
to offer any kind of warranty for breakage.
Remember, surfboards for pure surfing have no warranty.
If you snap a surfboard while surfing, it's considered to be par-for-the-course.
Perhaps the best poem yet posted in the general kiting forum. It's like Ewan McTeagle meets Les Murray, with hints of Basho. I'm not saying I think it's derivative, just that these are the poets evoked for me as I read this fine piece.
Lets say you ran over your own new twinny in the car park, or you shredded the bottom on some rocks after which the board broke. Wouldnt you expect warranty and a replacement.
Well thats the sort of stuff I got confronted with as a brand rep.

That's fair.
It gives you a whole month to fully cane the sh1t out of a new stick.
You know,
kiteboard abuse comes in many forms.
Even wearing a leggie can stress-out a board.
Under pressure,
if the leggie doesn't snap,
the board just might.
Load it up and put it to the test.
The weak link in the chain is often the rider himself.
