When will NT have these kites in stock & for sale? Any updates... I see pre orders being taken on other sites and they're in your catalogue.

The French Connection will be available in limited supply during the month of January, during which time only a handful of shops will have access. The first release will be hand signed by Dodd Gross. By February, there should be sufficient quantities to supply all the shops.

How come IKite isn't on the list?, I'd have thought they would have been first.

Can you confirm exactly what the French Connection Sail is made from. I thought it was going to be PC31?

Chris · Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2006 2:17 pm Post subject:

Hey Spilly,

I'm not sure what PC31 is. It is uses 1/2 oz. ripstop polyester. As to the make of the fabric, I'm not sure. Dodd will know this. I will as him to post.

Cheers,

Chris

I dont know to much about that, Chris can answer that better than I, but that sounds great? Getting our products out to the world to enjoy is our number one goal.

As you know, I offered to come to Argentina. I used to go to Columbia alot to help kiting there, other countries as well. I am proud to say that I began my Flight Schools in 1995 in the UK, France and Germany and spent a lot of time there teaching for many years.

I wont take credit for their advancements in kiting, but I am proud to have been there in the beginning teaching what amounts to over a thousand hands on students and countless more through my videos over the years.

So yeah, I would love to get our kites into Argentina or anywhere for that matter, and am available to help make it happen.
Very Happy

Hi Dodd,

I wish you a lot of success with the FC ... hopefully the people will like the sail design

and hopefully a couple of them will make the way across the big pond.

Thanks Mike, eventually, they will make it there. I would love to bring them over myself and am thinking about starting up a few limited Flight Schools.

But first, I want to ensure the they are currently manufactured properly, and then we can see about the quantity for a larger Distribution than just the U.S.
