cjs Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 Hi, I'm looking a good recommendation for an online shop - UK or Euro ... My local shops are rather limited. Be obliged for any good personal experiences... Had a rather poor experience with S2AS.com, twice now... Ordered a board from them online... a 2010 Nobile T5 and received : Thank you for your order at S2AS your payment has been received and your item is awaiting despatch. Status Payment Received They took took the money and later told me they were out of stock and said money refunded - as usual the banks delay things and the credit is not made for a few days... Got an email from them over the weekend... saving use this code and get 20% off everything..... so I ordered another board - 2011 this time - they said... Thank you for your order at S2AS your payment has been received and your item is awaiting despatch. Status Payment Received Yup they took the money and guess what, an email just arrived from Angelo, sorry no stock - money refunded - so another wait for my money - boy are these lads jokers.. It would appear to me that their online business is not a seriously concern despite the online appearance.... Anyone good personal recommendations please.... Kind Regards Chris Quote

Mr Benn Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 Yeah very annoying when they take your money, let you know a few days later that item is out of stock then takes a few days to get your money back ... Complete waste of time I recommend speaking to Dave or Jord at Kite Kite. Very helpful, plenty of demo kit and they will go out of their way to make sure you are happy with your purchase Quote
yorkierob Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 give Mario a ring at thekiteco.com he's a genuine guy and i know that he'll do you a good deal Quote
twisted weasel Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 thanks for the big ups, and thanks for the custom during the year, heres a chance to get something for nothing,well it will cost you an email From a kiting point of view this can be a grotty time of year, the waters not too bad yet but those Northerly Winds cut through that wetsuit like a knife. .... It’s so easy to find yourself sitting in the back of a van, crowded round a slightly leaky camping cooker desperately trying to work up the enthusiasm to get out... there on to the water. Come on! It’s not like the crowds have gone home is it?! What’s you need is a carrot, something to pique your interest, something to get that internal fire burning, something with an insane amount of pop that’ll get you 3 feet high and rising – preferably inverted and mid-pass. As our little contribution to the banishment of winter Kite Kit are giving away a brand new Liquid Force Kaos 133x41 board complete with luxury pads and straps – worth over £600!To enter all you need to do is like our facebook page at Kite-Kit | Facebook and send an email to abbe@kite-kit.co.uk with your guess at the weight of the board – including the box and all it’s wrapping. Dead Easy! Get on with it – that cooker’s going to pack up at some point, then what are you going to do? Quote

Kind Regards Chris Hydr8 boardsports are really good, the only other place i have use online is powerkiteshop and they were great Quote
North Wind Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 Another vote for KiteitRight ... excellent service and I think their website is linked directly to stock control so it is clear whether an item is "in stock" or "48 hours". Also Gower Kite Riders for North and Ion stuff. BA Quote
g0nz01599968659 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 Anyone good personal recommendations please.... Where are you based? Your local shop should be your first port of call if you want them to still be there when you need something or want a demo without driving miles! If they aint holding stock or prepared to help their local kiters then find someone who will. Give us a try at 24-7 Boardsports (formerly Solent Sailboards), we have been established 28 years & we carry a heap of stock from our core brands [inc Nobile]. Obviously its not possible to carry every thing in every size & colour combination - but we do stock what we think you'll like, so call us 02380 894000! We also carry a huge & comprehensive stock of spares for Naish kites from the 1998 to 2011. This isnt strictly relevant to a kite forum - but we also stock the latest SUPs & windsurfing equipment as well as a vast array of spares for boards & rigs of all ages. Best of all we are right on the waters edge & we have a LOT of kit for customers to demo (you dont need to be a member to demo gear). Calshot is a great place to kite (membership is still only £59 per year), with one of the UKs best flat water locations, it works in all wind directions during the winter when the pond is open, there are newly refurbished hot showers & changing rooms, free parking & there's tea, coffee & chat in the shop & a bar in the hangar if you need some proper anti-freeze We are still relatively quiet in terms of numbers, especially now its getting cooler - 25 kites in the air is a busy day here even in the summer - so there's masses of space to kite in.

Fred53 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Posted November 24, 2010 another vote for kite-kit. got my 2011 rebel there, service/communications was second to none Quote
Andy-j Posted November 24, 2010 Report Posted November 24, 2010 Agreed, you should always give your local shop the chance to do their bit! Quote

Kind Regards Chris Not sure who you are or why you are doing this you have done it on other forums and you talk complete rubish.... see below and stop bashing.... THIS IS THE EMAIL HE GOT: Do you mean this email: :roll: Hi Christopher Simmons, We have received your order via Kite Surfing Shop | Snowboards | wakeboarding | Wetsuits | Dakine however the item or items you have ordered below do not qualify for the 20% off discount code. Nobile T5 Kitesurf Board 2011 Board Size: 140 x 44cm The reason for this is the item is "ALL READY DISCOUNTED" and on the email you received with the code you will see this code is only valid for "NON DISCOUNTED" items. We can do one of two things if you like.. 1, charge you for the board at the discounted rate as on our website 2, Refund you in full for your order PLEASE NOTE: If you have any other items on the same order that do qualify (they will NOT be above) then we will send these as normal. thank you very much for using Kite Surfing Shop | Snowboards | wakeboarding | Wetsuits | Dakine email us back asap so we can process or refund your order Angelo Quote
kiteforce1 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Posted November 24, 2010 whats the code for S2AS? email me on info@s2as.com and ill give you a code... because i feel like it... Angelo Kite Surfing Shop | Snowboards | wakeboarding | Wetsuits | Dakine Quote
