momi dont give away to much.. switch might steal your design again....
would explain why they always following these topics..
ah ok kinda joking here..
I thought this topic was about Tips and pointers for characteristics for the EPIC surf.
Not sure how pimping switch has any thing to do with this topic.
The Renegade is a nice allround kite with very very good characteristics in Wave riding. Dimitri just thinks a full wave dedicated kite ads something for the true wave rider.

For a kite with as little mkt share as epic, you guys sure talk about them a lot! I have to remember to show some self discipline and not click the next time I see dimitri start one of his shameless threads.

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.

Nice
MOMI
Yes I forgot to mention the "X" for the SURF kite we are coming up with. Well they will find out more when the final product is out.
Also it's very interesting how team riders and designer from other kite companies watch the EPIC thread like hawks.
That must tell you we are doing something right. How funny is that

With all due respect Mr.vancougar please don't click on the EPIC thread if you don't like it. Go to the next topic. But again it's not easy when you see a small company doing very well with lots of positive reviews and new products coming out.
Again we are not interested in Quantity but QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, and CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Look at the FERRARI cars, they have a small market share but again every body wants a FERRARI correct?

This is all very entertaining. Thanks Epic.
Correct me if I am wrong but the main reason not everyone owns a Ferrari is because of the price right ? What' stopping 99%of kitesurfers from buying an Epic kite is anyones guess but certainly not the price as they are cheaper than other top brands.
If that is what you call "doing well" what isn't?
Now insult me again.

Don't flatter yourself. People click on whatever is at the top of the page. All you're doing is creating a lot of noise and spewing the same marketing BS over and over.
It's funny, Ive never seen an epic kite at the beach, out of the thousands of kiters around me.

There is so much negativity on Epic threads because they're posted and bumped daily in the general kite discussion index on an international kite forum.
Most kiters don't give shit what is going on with Epic and it apparently pisses some people off.
You have to advertise somehow though, and Switch's strategy can be a bit controversial as well.
I own a Switch Method V2 kite for my wave riding needs.
I think having your own forum for those interested, leads to less hateful discussion.
I agree that it does lead to less hateful discussion.
