When Did You Start With OR and Why:

We started with OR right when we entered the kite business. I was searching for a kite equipment company who could easily compete to other local kite sealers here. Sounds impossible but I found Ocean Rodeo and when I look back I could not have made a better choice.

What Motivated You To Get Into Kite Business:

Well first I saw kite boarding on TV.  I immediately took kite lessons at a local kite school and it was a horrible experience… They just took the money and did not learn us anything, simply nothing. So I said with to the guy I was doing the course with: “OK even we can do it better then them” So we jumped in to the kite business

Secret to Kite Sales Success:

Be on the water or on snow every windy day. Be part of the community and let everybody borrow the kite as long as they want. It did not take long to start liking the OR kites. And of course learn people kite in kite school on OR gear.

Reason for Carrying OR in Your Shop:

Ocean Rodeo gave us from the start very fair conditions and they never pushed us to huge numbers, so we can grow our business at the speed we like it. And with OR in the store we grow faster then we expect.
