I believe that is a Screamer 4G 14M prototype.

hmmmm. all black kite... yellow trim. Could that be the Screamer LTD? Can't wait to find out.
For those that have not yet tried the 3G Screamer 10 LTD, it's an amazing machine. I got out on it for a few hours snow kiting in some pretty deep powder. Here are my thoughts. For deep, moist snow, you need a lot of horsepower, but if you're holding on to a big kite, it is pretty demanding on the body. You get tired quick. I rigged the Screamer 10 when the wind picked up and had a super fun time. Compared to the first version of this kite, there have been some very significant updates. It is very stable and not twitchy at all. The first version required a lot of attention, where the 3G is a set it and forget it kite mostly. Really light on the hands, no muscle fatigue on the arms from pulling the bar in. It sits nicely in the window where upwind drive is unreal and absolutely effortless. The things that you all liked about the first version are still there.... easy relaunch, big big jumps, nice float. I literally can't find anything I'd change about the kite. And being a 10... for a one kite quiver, this would be an ideal choice. If you can, test drive one. You won't regret it.
The BLACK KITES that you see are just the prototypes. I am not allowed to show you the real graphics yet. That is why all the pictures you see have no kite in it.

But today was another amazing day for testing and photo shoot + videos. Plus the word is out that we are in Union Island so we had 11 people (not include the inflate dole) that came up wanting to demo the kites. These are some of the pictures of today at "JT PRO CENTER KITESCHOOL" in Union Island. You should of seen their faces after demoing the kites. I already have 7 orders from people demoing the kites today and yesterday.

Meanwhile in the depths of a British winter we've been having an amazing January....first we had a few weeks of pumping clean surf, then a huge dump of snow and now mild westerlies with nice waves too.

The 5m Renegade is the first small kite I've really fallen in love with.
