You've been sampling too much Santa Cruz Mtns greenery if you think Caution kites are made locally...Try Sri Lanka, China or wherever there is a [s]sweatshop[/s] cheap reliable labor poolDS wrote:There is a reason we all use Caution kites at Waddel.... They are durable, fast, powerful and stable. Not to mention the manufacture is in our home town and give killer support when needed.
Good luck in your quest to find the best kites.

Hey DS,
Where do the locals buy Caution Kites?
I will be moving toward the local Santa Cruz area next year and am in need of an upgrade from my current C-Kite collection (i've been waiting until they get a little cheaper). Since I will be moving down there, I have a strange feeling that I will be ending up with Caution Kites and a surfboard.
Have you had the chance to try other kites? I've also heard rumors that the '06 Answer turns a little faster than the '07?

Scotty,
We buy the kites from Peter and Poul, the owners. You can also get them on thier website, www.cautionkites.com . All you have to do, is tell someone at Waddell you want a Caution and you will be directed to the correct person. They always find a kite for someone used or new.
I have flown the North Vegas and Rhino. Very good kites!!! Stable, easy to fly and great bar!! Also some Cabrina "C" kites.
I have heard that the 07's are a bit slower, but this adds stability and the difference from what I have heard is very little in speed.
To be honest, all the kites talked about here are great. I am new to the sport and picked it up pretty fast. I learned on Caution kites (answer 7,9,12), took leasons on North Kites and have had no problems with my Caution kites.
The new Trespass board is great too!!
Good luck!
Dave
