Hi Helen
Good news all the kites got here in less than 5 days amazing. I had the chance this weekend to get the 11m out of the bag and just fly it on the beach. The wind was about 10knots. Quite simply amazing. I was able to body drag down the beach with no problem and even jump. Unbelievable performance.
I tried to put the kite through its paces for relaunch and all the mistakes the students make on pulling the bar. It is so forgiving and smooth. I am so excited to teach with it next year. I am taking the 9m and 11m with me to Cayman to demo the kite. I am hoping that i will also be able to pick up some orders over there too. My other instructor also tied the kite out for teaching. You will be pleased to know he is already considering selling his own quiver for next year to replace with epics. First impressions hahaha.
One of my very good friends happened to be on the beach who has been a kiter for many years and runs a very big kite and sail repair business. I let him fly the kite and he said he was very impressed. He is coming to the Cayman and i will let him try it out too. He was as i was very impressed with the build quality. He thought it was about time that someone shook up the stranglehold of kites on the beach. Nothing as much fun as causing a little mischief. I think i will before the beginning of the season next year buy a screamer kite only as a demo for kiters on the beach. Not sure which one to go for but im sure you will give me some advice. I watched the youtube video of the testimonials on the 12 amazing.
I must also tell you that the bag is amazing. I have only seen the rrd bag 2009 with the open flap soooooooooooo easy. Love the separate pocket for the bar and bungies for the pump. The open mesh at the bottom of the bag to let it dry. One of the big problems with the liquid force was the bag and not draining!!!!
My last question is regarding boards. I note that the epic board is still in demo stages. Please keep me updated as i would love to get a epic board or whatever you advise.
So a nice chunk of positive feedback for you guys. I look forward to hearing from you
Regards
Paul
