Kite color choices?
I'm a newbie, and still unsure how deep I'm gonna dive in (but the hook has certainly been set!) So, I'm browsing around at all these sites that sell kites, and I've yet to see anyone offer the option of a color scheme or choice of that nature. Now when I'm gonna drop between $500 and $1000+ on a kite, I'd like to have a choice about how it looks. Call it a style thing, or a personal taste thing, or just an idiosyncrasy. So, what's up with this? Do I need to know the secret handshake before I get a color choice?
cheers,
David

i thought i was the only one was was (somewhat) picky about color :P
windwing -- only 1 color per size for rage II and outrage; you can pick one of two color schemes for the rapture (put it in extra notes before checkout)
best -- i think you can request color options
rrd -- if buying through evan at live2kite, you can probably call him directly to see what colors they have.
other brands -- if buying retail, just check what's in stock!

i believe that the problem is the availablity of kite material is constantly changing..... It's difficult (expensive) for a kite company to know what colors they will have available. So instead of choosing, you get what they have.
that said.. most places will let you state your color preferences when you order. If you want something they don't have you just have to wait longer.

On the WW website there's a "Colors" tab under the info for each kite.
RageII colors are here:
