ant man Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 i was thinking .... with how big kite flying is getting espically with the sport kites both dual and quad .. im wondering if the current kite gear(shirts hats stickers etc) from the top names could ever hit the clothing stores like surf and skate gear have done.. think about it going to the local mall and getting a rev or prism shirt for example.. with this thought what are your imputs .. should the companies get the shirts in the stores other then cafepress or other online vendors???

Hyper Kiter Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 It WOULD be cool! Big companies like Prism, GFAK, Into the Wind, could carry/make them with their logo on the sleeve. Kite shops I used to go into had their own t-shirts as well as kite manufactor's shirts. Back in my day, Go Fly A Kite had t-Shirts and sweathirts. (I still have one) TOTL gave out t-shirts when they released the Hawaiian VERY COOL (I wore mine out) Action Kites gave out t-shirts But Hyper Kites went WAY overboard when they started (Or should I say, they did it right) Ray Mary and Randy Tom did what skateboard teams were doing: A van with the logo on the side. Decals ( I have a few still) T shirts (two left never worn) Hooded sweatshirts Wind breakers Ball Caps Visors and...Pins (Before the pin craze started) Sorry for getting off track, back then there were only a few kite makers. And we had to make face time contact to get "Hooked up" with goodies. NOW, with the internet, I think it would be easier to get a T shirt made at Cafepress or another site. also with cad driven vinyl cutters, we could have cool decals! Imagine..... A 12 Stack of Hypers across the back window of my truck! Quote
RobB Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 Hey Ant... Kiting is getting big ? Where do you live ? I actually know that you live in the East Coast capital of kiting... But kiting is probably only getting big by you because you have so many kites. There is still NO ONE on Long Island flying, except me. It is so frustrating... I actually get excited to see someone playing with their kids, and a ToysRUs SLK. ~Rob. Quote
