SURF 8 & 12 for the waves. RENEGADE 6.5 and 9 for all around kiting. And some times I use my son's JUNIOR PRO 4 when it blows 45+ for the waves.
Just try the EPICKITES and you will see for yourself.

This is the video of the island called: "LITTLE CAYMAN". Make sure to put this island on your next destination.
We had a blast and I am sure you are going to love it. If you want more info about the island and about accommodation you can always get in touch with Mr.Paul Rogers at: rogerspaul7@msn.com so he can help you planning your next vacation trip.

When the wind was about 12 knots this kite was perfect to start teaching my wife who is about 48 kg.

Was there anything I would like to improve? Well for me this is a perfect 9M kite. The only thing which would be nice would be some improvements to the bar. The quick release requires quite a lot of pressure to operate, and a nicer material for the hand grip on the bar would make it look a top quality product like the kite.
Just had time this week to have a look at the latest posts and noticed some concerning the chicken loop on the Epic bar.

I would like to say that while it does require more pressure than I would prefer, at no time was I unable to release when needed.

Also I have been teaching my wife who is 48 kg and 150 cm. Once shown how to release the chicken loop she has been able to do so every time I have told her too while learning.

I always clean my bar in fresh water after use and leave the chicken loop open, and then before use wash any sand off in the sea and engage the chicken loop.

Yes, Leaving the Chicken Loop open, while stored some where is a great idea. Never thought about this. Thank you for the advise.

On another note, these are some pictures of my 9 year old son Cameron Maramenides, testing the new EPIC Chicken Loop prototype and the SCREAMER 7 (3G) II prototype.

Hey Cameron is looking good, nice kite loop, is this ll following the 10m ltd as it looks a little more like it?

By the way, Sarah and I were the only kites out yesterday on a beach here and had a "coming together" in the head high surf where we both had to release the kites, once again no problems even though we both had cold hands here in UK Atlantic.
