Pump a chump and Supa dick head are tired ass dinosaurs who need to crawl back to their final resting places. You suck as people because you can't control your condescending rhetoric. Based on some of the longer term posters here you two have always been this way.

Learn how to structure an argument in an objective way without attacking and you might be surprised at the tone difference in the responses you receive.

This is your one little spot in the virtual world you perceive as real where you somehow think your opinions matter or others will listen. Apparently the majority of posters here think you both are a joke. You can count me among that crowd now. You guys are a freakin' joke. Seriously.

Don't get mad at me because I am dishing out what you have been serving up for years. That's kinda the point of why I am posting the way I am. To give it back to you. Make it personal, childish, and be an intentional ass hole as I am being. Sound familiar?

Pump me up wrote: Except that the Epic Infinity wouldn't outperform larger kites on SUPs. Also, the Infinity is closer to ~15-16m vs ~16-17m.
Dumpy, the v2 was every bit of 17m as measured against my 16 Cab SB, and while I don't have specifics on the V3 because I haven't measured it against a known size, I'm sure it won't be smaller than the V2.

Also, as irrelevant as it is, considering most of us don't kite on SUPs, and probably never would, a kite can pull a SUP in any wind it can stay in the air in. If it could stay in the air at 5 knots, it could pull a SUP. Hell, even a brisk fart could push a SUP if you could keep it up long enough.

SupaEZ, you are correct, I am nearsighted and while we are here I also do have 3 balls. I guess no one is perfect. But this still doesn't change the performance of what the INFINITY V3 can do in very low wind + you walking into deeper water so you could start kiting with your NORTH board.

I don't get it. Why is it so hard to swallow the fact an aprox. 16-17m, mid aspect kite will not pull upwind a planing board as much as a 19m, higher aspect kite ?
As for a non-planing board like a SUP in ULW, I have no doubt that the Infinity could outperform the 19 Core, since it's lighter and turns faster. But I also call BS on the 2-4kt (aka 3kt at the kite) claim
Dear Mr.lobodomar,
Yes you are correct the CORE 19 meter or the FOIL 21 meter has more power then the INFINITY V2 or V3, but the reason the INFINITY V2 & V3 can perform as good as these big monsters is because of its speed.
Momi and I designed the INFINITY to be very fast so it can generate the power that it needs to by moving it and then parking it once you get the power and you are planning. This is the reason why it is a fun kite for freestyle and for the waves. You have seen it in most of the INFINITY videos I made. But now by playing around and finding the perfect balance on the bridles and the canopy we were able to make the INFINITY V3 prototype fly in less then 5 knots. Why is it so hard to beleive it. Just check the videos and listen to some of the witnesses or even better get a chance to demo the kite in less then 5 knots. All I know is that the INFINITY V2 had a hard time to stay up in the air in less then 5 knots.
Any way lobodomar, I hope you get a chance to demo the INFINITY V3 when it comes out because I have nothing to hide.
