From Australia

Tony is right, the Epic kites have been in Sydney and loved by all who have had a go. :D

Those that have not had the chance to ride the kites, have commented on the flight characteristics and how great the kites look in the air.

The 9m Renegade received a great review from some riders who rode it and commented on how stable and quick turning it was , perfect for wave riding. :thumb:

The 10 Ltd screamer was the highest jumping kite on the beach "a comment by a few observers". So far I have ridden the 9m Renegade, the 10m Ltd Screamer and the 12 Screamer. For my weight and size and riding abilities, my favourite kite is the 10m Ltd Ed screamer. This is a close call between the 10 Ltd Ed Screamer and the 9 Renegade though. I chose the Screamer as the jumps were insane. A fellow kitesurfer on the beach commented that my jumps were between 10-15metres high. :cool2:

Both the Renegade and screamers were used in 18-20kts.

Here are some land based photos of the kites in Australia to drool over.... :bye:
