But with so much news in today I thought I better hit the keyboard and fire off this email as quick as possible.
The wind is here at Orewa beach today and it's strong.
I'm watching someone ripping past the shop window on their bright yellow Waroo 9m having a blast. Some good wave riding is going on as the waves are up too.
It looks like a day to finish up early and head to the beach.
But with just a few short weeks to go before the Christmas break and the start of the summer holidays, I have to get some orders away and also keep everyone up to date with the new product arrivals for the season.
Hence the newsletter.
The 2008 BEST Waroo... in stock now and riding better than ever.
(see http://www.bestkiteboarding.com) The Best Waroo Promo video says it all really.
I have been pushing my new 11m into some solid conditions and getting really tuned into it. This kite rocks, you can't imagine the improvements until you get on one.
The shorter control bar movement it offers comes from the new front bridle shape. This also gives twice the depower for 1/2 the bar movement. Of course you can think about it... and get twice the power too.
Makes for impressive air when jumping. It is really precise for wave riding too. When unhooked if you drop the bar it depowers to nothing immediately. So it is a really nice feature.
No other kite on the market even comes close to what BEST Kiteboarding have built this year.
With big wind days like this cranking through every week it's no surprise that 9m and 11m kites have been very fast out the door.
We still have enough kites for most of December and more on order, but don't hesitate too long or you will have to join a waiting list, and that can be torture even if it is only a week or two.
You can Pre-Book a kite with a $400 deposit, shop on our http://www.Xstore.co.nz to be sure you get the kite you want for your summer holidays.
The number one kite combination rig is well proven around New Zealand to be the 13m Waroo + 9m Waroo combo.
This has you covered for riding from 10knots to well over 30 knots.
As the number one selling kite in the World, the Waroo is well proven as the riders choice. And every year the technology leaps ahead.
This type of performance gain is only possible because BEST Kiteboarding have their own in house design team working all year round.
Finance payments Per Week.
Our new finance system is now in place, we have a new finance company working with us. So talk to us if you want to try out their online system.

Soft Goods!
Check out the photo's below of the new tee shirts that just landed in store.
BEST have upped the anti in the style department. Get in quick as they too will sell out fast.
Royal Kiteboarding
The hottest new brand in Europe is a standout on any beach.
Their new web site http://www.royalkiteboarding.com is up and running now.
We have just one 12m Royal Era left in stock this week. Yes they are well sought after kites and it is hard to keep up with demand.
Very grunty for their size, so if you are thinking about getting a 12m for high winds, think again you will only need a 10m.
The 12 is ideal for winds from 10 -22 knots and the 10m is great in 15-28 knots. (Based on riders 75-90kg)
The Team riders at Royal are increasing fast. Check out the who's who of Kiteboarding in Europe and the Team while on their site.
Our new shipment of kites is presently on route by air to NZ and should land early next week.
ROYAL is the brain child of Italian designer Simone Vanucci, he's the man when it comes to design and style.
Please call the shop if you want to get your name down on the list for a kite from the arriving shipment. Strictly limited numbers available.

CrazyFly Kiteboards.
Wow these boards have taken off like wild fire.
I knew they would, but we sold almost everything in a week. It's the Pro-Carbon construction and super performance riders are loving.
These boards will not bend out of shape like some flexy models and weighing in at around 2.3kg you feel like there is nothing on your feet.
That is the beauty of the woodtech core and carbon lamination techniques perfected by CrazyFly, it's all about delivering perfection to the rider.
I've built my business on delivering high quality products to riders at an excellent price. And when we tested CrazyFly we knew it was a ripper of a ride that Kiwis would love.
CrazyFly is a company long established in kiteboarding and all they do is build high end boards for the European market.
In fact they build boards for several other kite companies they have such a big production facility.
Their innovations in footbed technology and foot strap assembly make rigging up a board a breeze.
The high end Pro-carbon construction make these the lightest and strongest boards money can buy.
Edge and pop, flex control and rider control at speed are standout features of the ride.
On top of that they are quite simply the finest looking boards you have ever put under your feet.
Have a look over the range of boards at their site. http://www.crazy-fly.com
We have the Pro model boards in stock and the Wave Skim as it's such a blast to ride.
The Raptor Pro carbon is available in 132x39 and 132x41 sizes, perfect to compliment a 13m + 9m Waroo kite combo for New Zealand conditions.
We skipped over the general rider boards and decided on the Raptor Pro for NZ as everyone fell in love with the Pro Carbon construction and performance gains.
The protective finish over the carbon on the under surface is awesome. Bomber construction for Kiwi riders and a really sport orientated ride make this model the top seller.
The Wave Skim rides both directions so no need to jibe turn it. It takes a bit of skill to master, but that is the whole point of a Wave skim. Tons of fun in the waves.
Push yourself and your riding in different conditions. The Wave Skim will be perfect in light to moderate winds, especially is there is a small swell rolling in.
Limited Edition Rocky Chartwell Pro, This is a special board in the range, it's a carbon board and just like the Raptor Pro carbon it is very light and very strong.
The power and energy these performance boards both develop is 2nd to none. This is the competition level board, with a price to match.
But if you want elite level performance and the lightest board money can buy, we have a couple in stock.
