I agree, I like the S10M LTD best of the Screamers.
A 7M/10M/14M quiver of that kite would be awesome.

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.

So if you guys like the SCREAMER 10 LTD (3G) better then the SCREAMER 7/9/12/14 (3G) maybe for the (4G) we should concentrate on the same profile then the S.10 LTD (3G) for the SCREAMER 7/9/12/14 (4G).
The only problem is that other riders like the SCREAMER 7/9/12/14 (3G) better then the S.10 Ltd (3G). So it is very hard to keep every body happy, but I am sure we can come up with something in the middle that both parties will enjoy very much for the next generations of SCREAMERS.
Me personally I like both profiles of the S.10 ltd (3G) and the S.7/9/12/14 (3G).
We are still testing the prototypes of the SCREAMER 10 LTD (4G) v3 & v4.

This is one of many emails I get every day about our EPIC products and wanted to share one of these emails with you. This email is about a customer that bought some
EPIC Twin Tip boards from one of our dealers. (
And "YES", I did ask for his permission to share his email with you.)
Hi Dimitri,
I bought the Epic Oxygen about a month ago and I was so pleased with its lightwind and handling capabilities that I had to get a Droid to replace a 2004 F-one SK8. I was still a bit frightened when jumping and speeding because of lack of control that I thought were because of my lack of experience. Well, after 15 minutes on the Droid, I was landing jumps at full speed knowing that I could control it easily, it pops like crazy and landing is smooth and predictable. It was the first time I could edge to the point of touching the water with my shoulders. Going trough the chop, upwind was effortless and I dramatically improved my slide and carve turns.
Those are too many improvement in one session to be because I just became a better rider... I guess the board does have something to do about that.
We now have to put stickers and name on our boards because there are Oxygen and Droid everywhere on the beach ...
Thank you for your great product!
Vincent
Emails like that makes us who we are today.
MADE BY THE KITERS FOR THE KITERS. This is one of the reason why we are coming up with such great products plus our amazing customer service. It is all because of you.

Solution- make the LTD in 10 and 13m- that way there is a clear choice between the Screamers and LTD.You could even mix'em- say S14m with LTD10m or S9m and LTD13m for two kite quiver.
With an emphasis on waves I have a V2 Inf + R11, R9 and and R7 but I'd add a 13LTD if there was one.

Hello Mr.
Jinx
Thank you for you interest in becoming an EPIC dealer but I never received your email. Did you sent your email to
dimitri@epickites.com or to
info@epickites.com?
If you want to get in touch with me directly and as soon as possible, you need to email me at:
dimitri@epickites.com or else my wife "Helen" is the one getting the emails sent to
info@epickites.com but she took a week off from work, so she won't forward the emails sent to
info@epickites.com until she gets back from her vacation which is today.
So if you don't mind sending your email again to
dimitri@epickites.com and will go from there. But again so you know, we are very strict with whom we want as EPIC dealers. We are turning down a lot of dealers world. We are looking at quality dealers/schools that will be able to do a great job promoting the EPIC product with their customers.
