Hello Dimitri,
I don't know what the voodoo is behind that Screamer 10, but that is HANDS DOWN the most amazing kite I've ever flown. More to come man, I'm still settling down from the most badass session I've ever had.
That kite made the world stand still man... holy sh!t.
Talk to you soon,
Matt

Bob - A future customer
Howdy Ho - Dimitri:
Just to let you know, and I realize that you've heard this more than you care to think about, however today I finally had a chance to see one of your kites in action. It was a 14 metre screamer, last years model, and actually the guy that owned it was doing very high jumps in 10 to 12 MPH winds (est only and could have been lower) - although he was about 130 lbs it was more than impressive. When I pulled up he was just getting suited up and I pumped a lot of questions his why starting with, do you really expect to kite in this low wind. He was more than impressed with the kite and had nothing but positive comments. I had a chance to get a good look at the kite and couldn't believe he was actually going up wind - against a heavy current.
There is no question that my Cabrinha 14 - switchblade would not have pulled me upwind even with a large board. I really doubt that I would have been able to kite actually.
I am certainly hoping to get rid of my Cabs and switch over to Epic, and this is without riding them. It actually is surprising that there are nay sayers on the forums with accusations of pimping and negativity. At the very least your kites are well made, well thought out, jump like there's no tomorrow and service is second to none. "What the hell more could anyone want".
Anyway hoping to purchase in the next couple of weeks. Will probably go with a 9 - 12 screamer ---- or maybe the 10 LTD and the Infinity - will be waiting to see how much equipment I can sell then figure it out from there. I like the idea of the 10 LTD ---- oh well lots to figure out but I'm sure that whatever I end up with will keep me happy.
Again thanks for you input it is very much appreciated.

New customer with the Infinity
Hi Dimitri,
I received Epic Infinity kite yesterday and headed straight down to beach to try. Unfortunately there was too much wind to test this kites light wind performance. Feels strange wishing for less wind. I measured 10 - 14 knots on the beach which wouldn't have been a problem to fly fully de-powered but that wasn't what I bought this kite for. I put my Airush Lithium LW14 up instead, perfect.
Today the wind was ESE around 6 - 8 knots measured on the beach before launching kite. It looked too light and i was the only one there, not a good sign. I pumped up the kite anyway and gave it a try. I easily self launched and headed up wind riding my Airush Sector directional board. Amazing! This kite moved very fast and I am impressed by it's ability to stay in the air in such light wind.Very stable kite. My Airsuh kite is great to fly but would have fallen out of the sky in these conditions and would also be very difficult to re-launch.
With this kite I think I can sail most days, or at least 4 out of 7 this time of year. Before I was lucky to get out once or twice a week. You did offer me a money back guarantee, minus freight if I didn't like kite but you also insisted I'd love it. I had my doubts but you were right. Fantastic kite! I'm keeping it.
There are quite a few people lining up to test my kite.
