As others have mentioned producing t-shirts, stickers etc. has been something I have had on a back-burner for a while, but just haven't
had a decent design to use... I'm not sure how much these T-shirts will cost, but there is a system I could set up that allows you to
print designs onto almost anything (all sorts/styles of t-shirts, hoodies, bags, mugs, stickers, fridge magnets etc. etc.) and order
them directly online through a page I could set up on this site. As you are basically ordering bespoke one-off designs each time you
don't get bulk-buy discounts, but a T-shirt still works out at around a tenner I think which isn't too bad and of course you can get
other items other than T-shirts if you'd prefer.
Could be the way to go once we have a design??

Great logo Steveo. Have to admit I loved the Fat boy slim ref strap line kite here-kite now but it doesn't work for all sports,
shame.
I'd deffo put it on a dark colour like navy blue. Not ideal for summer but the less you wash a tee, the longer it lasts. And lets face
it most of the time it ain't 25 deg's outside.
Keep up the good work

"the less you wash a tee, the longer it lasts"
is that why they smell so much?
logo on blue will loose the blue part of the logo no?
would want mine on white or a light colour to show up the logo etc and i do tend to wash them to kep them smelling sweet!

Cheapo screen printed T's last a lot longer if not washed too much. Believe me I have plenty of cheap T's bought from gig's, freebee's
etc.
The Blue could be substituted for white print if used on a dark background to get over any loss. I have designed a small number of long
sleeve T's for a VERY exclusive mountain bike club I used to run. Navy and White was a good combo and hid, beer, curry, mud n blood
pretty well.
People aren't ever going to agree on colour chioce though hey.
I only wash the bugger when it stinks so much I can't wear it. Rest of the time I'm oot a ridin!!
Maybe kiting in said tee would be as good as a cold rinse............?

No need to worry too much about the final wording on any design or the colour of the T-Shirt, I can set up a system that allows you to
choose the colour and choose from several designs so that everyone can be happy.

Al, i can put some different design's together with different straplines, to keep everybody sweet, one for the windsurfers one for
kitesurfers. And a design for the back of the t-shirts.
Also working on some cool desktop pixs for the Borth Massif.
I like the idea of people being able to order the stuff via the website, keeps it simple.
As i would not have the time.

Good stuff, I'll start work on an online ordering service and get things up and running once I have some files from Whoosh... I've
u2u'd you Whoosh with file format details and will e-mail a file with some more details.

Right, I have an online Kitesurf T-Shirt shop set up. The designs for the
Borth massif aren't there yet but will be as soon as I get them from Whoosh. I have added a few designs of mine for now just to get it
up and running.
There are plenty more possibilities as far as actual garments go, hoodies, jackets, baseball caps etc. etc. so if there is any
particular combination of design / design placement / item that anyone wants just let me know and I'll set one up.
There are also a couple of designs that I have set up where you can change some of the text yourself so that you can have your username
(or something) on your T-Shirt.
I haven't actually ordered anything myself yet, so let me know how it all goes when you try it out.
Have fun.
Al.
