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!
