Haven't posted here in a long while, but had to comment on the Renegade 3G 11m. So I was early to jump on the Dimitri EPIC bandwagon and loaded up on Renegades when he first came out w/them 3 seasons ago (SF Bay area seasons are basically March through Oct). After enjoying many seasons of 100+ days, after my wife gave birth to our twin boys 20 months ago, I've been relegated to 6 days over the past 2 seasons. My wife noticed some changes in my mood and suggested I find an attitude adjustment. Little did she know what that was going to mean
Managed to sell my 2010 Renegade 11m which was still in good shape, as I wanted to experience the new 3G models. Consistent with my memory the EPIC team was really good about getting me on the right kite and after discussing the style of riding I was going to be doing (mostly coast and Crissy Field (under the Golden Gate Br.)), we agreed that I should stick w/the Renegade 3G 11m because apparently the turning action on it had been much improved. Got the kite just in time to get in the water last weekend and all I can say is O-M-G! The thing turns like my 9m 2010 Renegade. It was a Crissy Field day w/some small swell, winds at about 14-16 mph, and no hint of weakness or slow turns, now I can't wait to get this kite out on the coast. Total performance animal. The bonus however was the "pretty" bar
Definitely functional, but pretty too
I have to believe Mrs. EPIC had a hand in that one, but it does feel great. It's nice to see that three seasons in, Dimitri and the EPIC team have managed to keep the high touch and attention to the customer, as well as attention to detail in their kites. Oh yeah, and my wife says my performance in the bedroom has improved too
...perhaps something to do with my attitude
