Exactly Mark. Where I'm at now in Argentina Naish and Cabrinha are basically the only kite's flying. Slingy's didn't even get discussed until the Rev came out and now I get asked to bring them on every trip. I did donkey in a few new 09 LF Havoc's for some friends because import taxes are just brutal. We bitch about pricing but many people around the globe are giving a kidney to push the stoke.
