Yesterday went to the beach to go paddleboarding about 45 minutes later a nice little 10mph breeze kicked up.. In goes the paddleboard and out comes the Speed 3 Limited edition Purple 21 and my trusty stretch 6'5" surf board and I had the absolute best time ripping those waist - chest high waves.. I would come from the side of the wave make a nice down loop and whip my self into the wave and get at least 10 turns and a really nice finishing manuver while the big purple kite just floated down the line with me!! Just like tow surfing! then a edge against the kite and you have your powersource back... the speed 3 deluxe floats with no line tension better then any other kite I have seen making my style of wave riding closest to true surfing that can be done with a kite..... Thank you Flysurfer!!!!!! The 21 speed 3 is the undisputed light wind champ IMO!!!!

Ps. couple of guys showed with some big inflatos couldn't get off the beach!

Sounds great Ted. I was just having the same conversation. How kiting now completely overlaps surfing. No downtime in between...it is more of the opposite...should I go kiting or surfing? :D :D ..or both.

Had much the same experience yesterday, but on an inflato.

Yeah, I'm still trying to get my "wife" to start kitesurfing.........Problem is that it's still too cold for her but when the sun starts to shine I'm going to teach her. She'll already learning to fly with my 6m2 "trainer" kite (HQ Neo) and she's learning to understand the wind and everything you need to know to get good control of a kite.

Hello Mr."unaitxi",
The best thing for your will be to demo most of these kites and see it for yourself which one you like. I know it is very hard to test all the light wind kites in the market, but in order to help you I am willing to send you the INFINITY v2 to test and see what you think. The reason I am doing this is because once you try the INFINITY v2 kite you will be amazed of its performance. It happens to every body that has tried it and usually 85% of the people buy it on the spot. This is the reason why I am willing to send you the INFINITY v2 demo kite for you to test because know the results. You can email me at: dimitri@epickites.com if you need more info.
