Last I looked Supa, this thread concerns the infinity! Now if he posted these photos on another companies LW kite review than it would be considered bad form! The birthday cheer rub off already

I see this thread concerning the "Average Joe's accurate truthful review" of his no size kite
I see him keep putting up photos in an "attempt to discredit them"
We all witnessed his reply on page 1 with 9 videos "in order to prove he is right "and they are wrong
All reviews are based off a perception of what we like. What I have taken from this review (and the small number of reviewers) is that it isn't the kite for them. What really bothers me about what you are doing Michel, is that you are using this small number of testers to reflect the majority! I don't know what the "true average majority of people" think about this kite anymore than you do! Let's not rush to base our opinion as fact! Anyone who has read your posts over the last 18 months knows your stance on the matter. This persistence to gripe over past wounds grows old. I have also seen you do similar complaining concerning the Core XR3. If you are going to stand on your soapbox, you better practise what you preach brother! Amen to that!
All good points, but these testers are the go to guys for light wind kiting.
So if you want a light wind specific kite the test is valid for the masses.
Doesn’t make the epic bad just not a light wind specific kite.
I was graced with another blue bird, sunny day riding the slopes on my snowboard! A balmy -16c and I was forced to ride in just a t-shirt and sweater because this bozo forgot his bloody jacket at home! Being that the hill is an hour away, I just nutted up and rode! Never claimed to be bright... just good looking
Gear: SCREAMER 7/9/12/14 for Free Style. Not to forget the SCREAMER 10 LTD for my one go kite. 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.

You are welcome OceanAdventures. I am sure few people are wondering if it was blowing 10 knots then why in some of the footages you hear so much wind!!! Well very simple. NOISE REDUCTION. WHEN FILMING OUTDOORS, MAKE SURE TO PROTECT YOUR MICROPHONE EVEN IN 5 KNOTS. You can see the texture of the water to determine how much its blowing and hear these people testimonial. But again the best thing will be for you to try the kite and see it for yourself.
Any way , one of the Canon G15 cameras I was using did not have a case that protects them, so the microphone was totally exposed to any thing that hits it. Even your breath can make it sound like 30 knots. I am sure you know what I mean. Their was barely any breeze out that day as you can see from the video, so I did not have any reason to use a case to protect the microphone on this camera which I never use for videos. But did not realized it will make so much back ground noise even in 7 to 10 knots. This is why you don't hear that noise in some other footage, because I was using my GOPRO camera with its case until the battery died. So I took the Canon G15 camera to continue filming. So if you know about cameras and have filmed before with out protecting your microphone, 4 knots of wind can give you this type of noise as a background. This is the reason why film makers use a type of protector on their mics to reduce the noise. But if you are in door, then no need to protect your mic because there is zero breeze coming across the mic. Personally, I only use the case that the GOPRO comes with when filming outdoors in order to reduce all that windy noise.
From these videos, is it safe to conclude that the Infinity v3 doesn't have the low end grunt of some of the other kites?
In 10 knots I would want to see someone riding a SS Asylum and throwing jumps and unhooked tricks. Mowing the lawn on a lightwind board or surfboard is not what most of us what a light wind kite for. Also, how does it do when there is 3 - 4 feet of chop. Ocean riding takes quite a bit more power. My feeling is that it takes 12 knots to ride this kite in the ocean on a "normal" twin tip.
