Have you flown any? I've flown 15s and 17s that turn faster than certain 12s. For example the 2013 best ts 15m turned about the same speed, or a little faster than my 12m switchblade did, and I flew the ts on a chopped down bar for freestyle! Turbine is really fast too. It's amazing how these huge kites are becoming quite light and nimble in the sky, which I think is part of what is making them more and more efficient over the years.JamesVegas wrote:I'm not sure if anyone can argue with the SUP video. It looks dead calm on the water but whether you would want to kite with a SUP board is another matter.
Most companies claim to produce the best light wind kite. I would love to see the companies going head to head on these claims to back up what they say. Okay, it would be difficult to get two identical riders of equal weight and skill but there must be a way of measuring turning speed (although obviously all big kites defy physics and turn like 12 meter kites), up wind ability, lowest planing speed.
Is this possible? Would Dimitri put his Infinity up against an equal sized (I'm guessing 17m having seen the Infinity) North kite? Any company could enter and then we could know the king of the light wind kite! Well for one season anyway.
Personally I don't really care as I'd never fly anything bigger than a 12m now but if anyone can prove their LW kite turns like my 12m Vegas I'll take one.
You are 100% correct Mr.hmattar. Who wants to kite in less then 5 knots, but I had to prove what the kite could do in less then 5 knots and I did.Only thing I care about this LW kites is to ride powered so I can jump from 10-14 knots.
Who wants to ride in 5 knots? come on!
Stop with all the drama
I can tell you I do not believe that you can get the kite to fly in 2 knots. I am willing to test it, but I am not willing pay for shipping. Either way.Dimitri M wrote:You are 100% correct Mr.hmattar.

Any way Kiting becomes fun in 10 to 14 knots that is for sure and that depends what kite you are using. Because when using the INFINITY v2 you can enjoy kiting in 7 to 11 knots and learn some nice tricks in these conditions, but again you need a very fast kite so you can redirect the kite on demand and pop when you want to pop or kite loop when you want to kite loop. All I am asking for the non believer is to try the kite and you will see its performance. It's not much to ask is it.
This is just wonderful.Dimitri M wrote:This is what I am talking about, he is so full of shit (more properly called lies) and it just keeps coming.
He doesn't have a invoice with my name for an infinity, because I didn't by it from him, I might have written something positive about their costumer service, but only to be polite and threaten fairly, I was already not happy with it before the problems with the sliders that I ordered and I had already been criticizing him of the forum for a while (he did not know who I was then and I don't know how he found out).
I have NEVER written anything to him good or bad about my opinion on the kites performance.
This is the second time he discloses my name on this forum without my consent, last time he also shared our email correspondence with a third party, hoping to get support that he didn't get, he is truly living in a reality of him own, where he decides what is good/bad, right/wrong.
Last time Toby gave him a warning and had him remove my name, but he is obviously not respecting the rules of the forum and I expect Toby to take stronger actions this time.
Dear Mr.McAbe, once again I am sorry you feel that way but if you want to argue about this please email me directly and will send you these emails in order to refresh your memories. We do have your folder with all these emails. Also "YES" I had to share your emails with the 3rd party since he was the Rep who sold you the INFINITY v1 kite and he had to know with whom we were dealing with in case something happens in the future.
Any way this is not the place to argue about this and we need to leave this topic free of negativity. I will remove your real name so people don't realize who you really are. But so you know the reason I use my name "Dimitri M" is so people know with whom they are dealing with and that I am not hiding behind a fake name trashing people or companies around. I have nothing to hide, same with the EPIC product, you get what you see.
So please let's get back to "EPIC INFINITY & BULLSHIT LIGHT WIND CLAIMS" topic and enjoy the sport we all love.
