I havent tried his Kites but I would say Dmitri makes some of the best videos in the kitesurf industry. I am not surprised he stays off this forum given the amount of trolling that goes on here :)

There you have it. I'm not affiliated with Epic, and I'm not currently using Epic products, but I have to say I'm always impressed with Dimitri's personalized attention to customers and others in the industry. How many other kite manufacturing company owners would personally respond to a question on this forum with that level of detail? I am impressed. :thumb:

^^^ what this guy said!

Hello Mr.Flysurfing.
Thank you for asking. We are doing very well and very busy since I am a one man show that does everything for EPICKITES. I wish I could clone myself into 5 Dimitris
If there isn't a 'Multiplicity' style Epic kite video out sometime in the future, where Dmitri clones himself so he can kite instead of something boring - then I'm going to be disappointed :lol:

@dimitri
:thumb: saw you out by your house saturday on the race gear while i was flubbing jibes on a big wing you went to the causeway and back at warp speed, inspiring as usual. What foil were you on? It was kinda loud. Wind in bridles or foil hum? Nice tacks :thumb:

:lol: :lol: :lol: I was testing the new CAMET board from my good friend Brian Camet that he sent us, but was also using my son's old "Enata" foil Mast & Wing which makes a lot of noise when you go fast because of the scratches he has on from hitting things in the water, and that needs to be sand down in order to reduce the noise. But I like it like that because that is how I know when he is coming close to me without having to look back.
But for racing we do use "CHUBANGA" Mast & Wing foils.
