Better bring two INFV2 and two OXYGEN boards then

I want to be on the water at the same time as you on the exact same gear at first in 8-9 knots

Then i will go in and use the same Oxygen board but with my XR219 for a side by side with you

Be careful for what you wish however...since we are both have matched LW skills

We may have to record "your" surprised reaction

Just like you 22 years windsurfing...13 years kitesurfing...my reaction will not be the one you think

INFINITY V2= no number (not a 17) so you don't know.
YOU HAVE NOT FLOWN IT BUT YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE SPECIFIC WIND NUMBER CLAIMS ABOUT IT'S PERFORMANCE, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DO FROM THAT CHAIR YOU ARE SITTING IN.
Ego much?
How is that Core thread of yours coming???...Really dude, give it a rest.

Count me in Dimitri. I will run the Camera and capture you and SupaEZ. I live 40 minutes from him. I will give the kite a go also. I am 240 lbs and go in Ultra light wind.

They don't. But being WRONG - on the internet! - that's something else again

Over here, 90% of people just "mow the lawn" no matter what kite they're riding or how much wind there is. If one was to look at them and draw conclusions... you see the problem of drawing making statements based solely on observations

Tone, I think you're mistaken in what I said. I said that someone who only wants to mow the lawn on flat water might want a FS. I didn't say that's all people do with it. I also said that I haven't seen someone having fun with one on the waves (other than mowing the lawn). I'm always on the lookout for the FS ocean side hoping to see someone do something interesting with it.

Why don't I see FS out in head high surf in Hatteras riding waves? Could it be that if it gets rolled by a wave, game over?

Note that my comments are wave related. If FS is a wave kite, I'd like a demo.

That makes sense. Speeds are NOT wave kites - although there are those who use them as such
Game over? Usually they float over the waves - ask FredBGG about real waves and flysurfers though... I think he was on Pulses, rather than Speeds though.

Inf v2 works well in waves, huh? I've seen D doing it, but few other people...

Very nice "supaEZ" I will bring more then (1) INFINITY v2 because I know lots of people are going to want to demo this kite, and I don't want to be staying on the beach for hours. Let's just hope it won't be windy so people can have a real test for light wind. Plus will be bringing the OXYGEN v2 and also different set of bars so people can test it with 22 meters and heavier riders will be able to test it with 27 meter lines. Plus I will bring also the new prototype INFINITY v3 and see how it performs compare to the new INFINITY v2.

Mr.14ToeSide will love to have you there and any body else interested in demoing the EPIC gear. Will be posting on the KITEFORUM, FACEBOOK and under the EPIC web page when I will be doing this particular demo in Florida. And for sure 14ToeSide get your cameras ready, because that's going to be very interesting and make sure you have a zoom on your video so you can zoom on supaEZ's face because I want to see how wide his mouth opens from his reaction when he is testing the INFINITY V2 with the OXYGEN V2 board. Because at the end he might not want to admit the truth because it will contradict everything he has been posting. But at least we got his reaction on film.


P.S. "supaEZ" let me know when you think I should come down? It is probably a 14 hrs drive for me. You know my email, you can always email me if you rather do that. It will be better for me at the end of October beginning of December by then I should have also the new prototype INFINITY v3 to test, so you can tell CORE what they are missing on their light wind kites.

Please let's invite Oldnbroken to the showdown

P.S. chances to have LW 8-9 knots are slim to none october-november-december by the way

It has be be held at the beach in the surf also......i really don't care the river flat water stuff..

We need a test in real conditions....light wind....drift...shorebreak...whitewater...waves..choppy...etc

............................................. ......that will sure thin out the numbers of happy V2 testers.....................

I hope your next kite the V3 is closer to the size of the 19M for a fair comparison

v3? Well well well

I think Mr. Kamikuza wants to come down also from Japan.
