There are allot of old kites out there.. many of them old & dangerous.
Not only are they a potential hazard to any un-educated "wanna kiter" but they are potentially the landfill of the future!
We are forming a non-profit kite recycling program, many parts of old kites can be re-used by people with the right needs or knowledge. The components of the kite can be re-used for many things, more than just the obvious re-use of lines or parts of kite panels for repairs etc., many items can be recycled.. for example;

The kite fabric can be used for bags/ clothing etc.
The bladder can be sent for recycling, bridal pulleys can be re-used
Damaged lines can still be used in clothing or countless other uses.

The list goes on!

So if you are interested in sustainability, recycling, seeing your old equipment go another round or just getting that old crap out of your garage contact us!
We may be able to help with freight costs and/or pickup, and if parts of your kite go on to be a significant part of a new kite you may score some cash!

Any proceeds will go back into the kite community in ways such as Safety signage at beaches etc.
