Write your own kit reviews

Help your fellow sailors find the right kit.  We'd welcome your feedback - so we've enabled YOU to add reviews on any kit on our site. Just find the product you want to comment on at www.shq.com.au, scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will find a box to add your feedback. You will need to have a facebook, yahoo, or hotmail account to post your comments. 

So tell us what you think of your board, sail, kite, or the demo kit you've tried! Feedback from the people that have sailed the kit in the same conditions is invaluable, for us, and hopefully for you too.
