It's kiteforums day time soap... it's the only thing I come in here to read now... I got no tv and gd I can't get out to kite to save my life .......so keep posting
Some times even the PROS fall in the water. Actually pros fall in the water more then average kiters.
Kiting in less then 5 knots on an SUP or a Race board is very hard and it's not for every body. Plus it's not fun at all. Its all pure adrenaline trying to achieve your goal and test the limits of what you can do and what the kite can do in such light conditions. So here is another view from that day when I tried to turn and the SUP board. You will see that the SUP board was going side ways towards the kite (pay attention at 3:14s) giving me no resistance on the lines in order to turn that kite. You will see at (3:25s) the kite is seating on it's side just waiting to be relaunched but not enough wind to relaunch it especially when it's less then 5 knots.
But at least the kite was able to stay up in the air until I was trying to turn that big ferry boat, then slowly the kite went down and laid on its wind tip while I was going side ways towards it.
So once again beleive what you want to beleive the truth is that the INFINITY V3 is an amazing light wind kite and a lot of people know that. But who wants to venture in the water in less then 6 knots!!!!! This test was to prove you that this kite can stay up in the air while on a board in less then 5 knots and it did.
Enjoy part 2 of the video.
How touching! Weeks go by without me actually having working internet because I was moving, and there is someone who still thinks of me.SupaMentalBreakdown wrote: Why don't you drive over to the "surf side" of Florida...

Your comments are totally out of order and a disgrace, but they pretty much sums up the attitude of some of the people "associated" with this brand. Bullshit and intimidation is not going to sell kites to anyone.Flight Time wrote:Maybe after you show me how to kitesurf, we can go out for a bite to eat and some warm conversation, and then perhaps I can punch you repeatedly in the neck until you have to drink from a straw for several months in retribution for all the negative crap that comes spewing from your pie-hole on this forum.
Is anything Supa has said in the past 3 months NOT been out of order and a disgrace? And I know you will take this as a glowing endorsement of Epic and that I am D's puppet or whatever, but I am not "affiliated" or "associated" with Epic just as I am not "affiliated" with Cabrinha, or Nike or Sony or Ford or Intel. I own their products, and I happen to like the ones I have. I am happy with the Epic products I have, and the service D has provided to me.UKSurf wrote:Your comments are totally out of order and a disgrace, but they pretty much sums up the attitude of some of the people "associated" with this brand.

I have to agree and great to see the myth busting PaulUKSurf wrote:Your comments are totally out of order and a disgrace, but they pretty much sums up the attitude of some of the people "associated" with this brand.

He has his opinions on lightwind kitesurfing and seems to be angry about Dmitri's claim that he went out to chest high to get out when they had their light wind contest. But threatening people with serious violence like that for stating an opinion you dont like is totally unacceptable.Flight Time wrote:Is anything Supa has said in the past 3 months NOT been out of order and a disgrace?
