Technically your kite should stay up overhead in 8 knots...it's low end is 6.9 knots....8 miles per hourFlight Time wrote: I have a 16 meter Cabrinha kite that wont even stay in the air at 8 knots
No! It was some sort of David Copperfield magic trick, perpetrated by the man, to make us believe in what isn't true! He somehow waved his magic wand and made the wind in 5 separate videos and 1 real life situation perfect, taking advantage of upwelling and gradients and he stood the board on the back of Moby Dick so it would look like he was riding! SupaEZ wasn't there, but he knows the secrets!Dj A-Ron wrote:I am the guy in the video flying the V3. I watched Dimitri pump it up with the air compressor in the lawn of Kitty Hawk. I put it in the hot launch position for him. It seriously was only 2mph man! No Joke!! Truly amazing to me how the kite would just stay up there without even moving it around. I really think Dimitri sprinkled some magic pixie dust on it or maybe it's just that yellow kites fly better or something...haha.
Believe what you want guys but I was there, I flew it and I am very very impressed to say the least...

When will the Infinity V3 be available?
Will it be improved for the surf, or are you focusing on very light, flat water?
i.e. Can I stick it in an 8' wave and not worry about it getting trashed?
Will it turn just as well?
I'm using the V1 now and am quite pleased. I really don't care much about staying upwind as I mostly do down-winders. I do want it to turn well, generate lots of power when I want it, and drift when I'm on the wave. I just want to be sure that when I want to upgrade, there will still be a good option.
PS I think now is a good time in the OBX for you to make a nice Infinity V3 surf video since the wind is nuking at 0-5mph. The waves are small, though. I'd rather see one with head-high glass.
