dimitri--
I pumped up the infinity today just for grins. The wind was
like 3-10mph, mostly 3. We wanted to take a look at it but decided to
put it up anyway. REALLY surprised at how well it flew in extremely
light winds. The wind was seriously around 4-5mph most of the time and
we really didn't have an issue keeping this kite in the air. You know
Stinkies and the glassy area was probably 10-15 ft off the shore.
Another kiter showed up and actually offered to try it on the water. He trunked
it and threw down my surfboard. We have video of this! He wasn't
really able to ride, but he made it back to shore with a dry kite!
Very impressed, but ofcourse, no kite can really fly in this wind. I think we found the
bottom-end of the kite!
I am very excited to try the kite in 10mph. I think it's going to be a blast!
This prototype is built very light. I'm not sure how long it would
last in the hands of a beginner or if it could take a decent wave
beating. That said, the price is right and it really could be a game
changer for those of us that don't beat up our kites. If it flies
well at 10-12mph, I'm ordering one!

Ciao Dimitir,
Its good to see that they don't even wanna know about the Best Kites. I heard that the other weekend they had 9 best kites and 2 epics. And people were forming a line to try the epic kites..
The Word here in Brazil is that EPIC brand is the Toughest and coolest kite one can own.
People want one just for the pure joy of saying I have one and you don't even know where to get one. and now that they notice how good the kite is we will certainly grow!

The kite is awesome. We had a good day on it. Everyone seemed be pretty stoked on it. The wind started off pretty light and then picked up. Also had some time on the Screamer. When does the Infinity come out for the public? I should have a lot of people on it tomorrow. Also filming for a TV show that goes on the Discovery Channel (Florida Travel and Life).

I was finally able to test the upper end of the wind scale of 7m Screamer on Friday afternoon last week in Sydney.
We had a North Easterly wind that was 30-35kts and extremely gusty. Others were on similar sizes and there were a few 9s.
I had the best ride ALL season on the 7m. I was comfortably jumping the highest on the 7 and those landings were sooooo soft. They were floaty jumps and I was surprised at the height I was able to achieve. (the height comment was from independent observers who asked me what kite I was on)
I also tested the durability of the kite unintentionally, when a jump went wrong and the kite slammed into the water. NOT a scratch. Bomb proof.
I felt totally in control 100% of the time even when the gusts were coming thick and fast. The 7m Screamer gives you a lot of confidence.
Dimitri has got a great product here and I am totally happy with my quiver.... Thanks Dimitri.

Happy new year, Dimitri. I came to Thailand yesterday and am staying here for about a month. I had a full day of kiting in Hua-hin today with my renegade. Although the condition was not at all great (generally weak wind + weaker lulls), the kite performed so well! Many kiters on the beach are really interested in the kite. Some of them may contact you as I gave those kiters your web site address. Just a heads-up!
Anyway, I am very happy so far as I am on the kite:)
