Dimitri,
thanks very much for the Christmas presents. The T-shirt, cap and stickers look nice. The repair kit should be useful. And..., I am enjoying the DVD: you are truly an epic rider!!
Yesterday, I finally had a chance to kite on the Renegade 11 for the 1st time though the session was just half an hour due to a changing condition. The wind came up from 10 to 30knots in the short period but the kite handled from lulls to gusts sooo well. Very very responsive kite for its size!
happy holidays,
Yux

I had a local demo today with the Renegade and some other kites. Thought you would like to know that hands down the 11 Renegade was the preference of all kiters. It will definitly help Andy sell some kites. Thanks again. I will keep getting it out there in the Northwest.

Hi Dimitri,
finally in these weeks I tested the renegade 9, good kite, very simple, reliable, good for freeriding.
I tried both configurations. The conditions were 12-18 knots with 1.5 meters waves . Above 15 knots with waves is very easy and fun. Probably under 15 knots and no waves I'll need a more powerful kite (the other model); because under 15 knots the bar otherwise becomes too hard. However, I would say that I am pleased to have tried these kite ... We immediately became good friends!
Yesterday there were about 30 kiters in the water and I have to say that several people came to see the kite and asked me for information (no one here had ever seen!). In the next windy days I hope to take some pictures of a photographer friend of mine I have contacted.
Unfortunately I could not test the hi-end I hope to do soon.
Will be updated soon..... bye bye.

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

I am purchasing one of your Renegade kites and I am impressed with the customer service on you website. Keep up the personal concern and training vids and I will keep coming back for more kites. I have not found this service at other manufactures. Would you consider doing a vid on drift launching ?? I am in a situation where I have to drift launch because of a bulkheaded waterfront. I am still a beginner..need some visuals...
Thanks
