Alessandro Loves His Screamer 10 LTD

Hi Dimitri,

Just wanted to give you feedback and thanks on the Screamer 10 LTD I just bough from you online

as you know, I was looking for a 1 kite quiver since, now that I live in Johannesburg, and travel a lot for work to neighboring countries, I wanted one kite with big range to be able to travel light (mostly renting boards locally)

First of all, I liked that as a customer I had direct access to speaking to you on facebook and e-mail, and that was key to choose the right kite, get the right tips and make the purchase. 

I tried the kite a couple of weekends back when I was in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Forecast was not too good, side-shore 12-15 knots, but I always take my kite if possible.
When I got to the beach, saw a couple of guys on F-one Bandits size 12, they were struggling to stay upwind (about my same weight 90 KG), so I borrowed one of their twin-tips and gave it a try on my new 10 Screamer.

To my and everyone's surprise, the screamer will pull like a beast for its size!  the sensation i got was that as soon there is enough wind to plain, you can actually get some upwind out of it! I did have to kite-loop it for easier water start  in low wind, but then, once riding and generating a bit of apparent wind, upwind was quite easy.

I Managed to get a few jumps, both popping, and combining with kite movement, and was impressed on the height and hangtime for such little wind! (no more than 16 knots)

i found relaunch to be a bit hard, but thats probably because it was low winds for 10.

again, thanks for your tips and great kite!

regards,


Alessandro Teichner
