Wayne Dowler Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Looks like they are planning to wind down - to what, remains to be seen. They have closed all of their retail stores, here on the Oregon coast, including the Lincoln City location. Evidently, rent and other costs were just too high for them to continue. There is one kite shop left in Lincoln City - Windriven. North of the "D" river on 12th Street. With the closing of the other store, they might improve their selection and quantities on hand.

frob Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 It's always sad to me when businesses close with the retirement of the owner, instead of becoming self-sustaining entities. David Gomberg has been a fixture within the community, and both David and Susan's influence will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 It's often the way of things as ownership becomes less and less of a true end user, gotta live in it to sustain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTill Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just bought a super sled and tail from him. Need to pickup some spiky balls and a spinning spiky ball. Sad to see the staples of the industry fade away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
