I thought we got him but hear rumours he is still alive in intensive care.....damn!


Ym, hopefully meet up again poss at a future Epic meet!

We've just arrived home in the UK and just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou to Dimitri for making our trip "epic"

Being a dealer, we have dealt with many brands over the past 10 years but have never had support like we have had from Epic.....it feels more like being part of a big kite family!

As well as all the kites/boards we demoed we have some pretty sweet conditions and met so many great people whilst in OBX


Just some of the Epic gear we demoed....We got to ride all the kites Judge/Screamer/Renegade/Infinity/Racer plus the boards in everything from waves to mirror flat water.

Our trip last week

Yesterday afternoon...
First try with the gopro on the kite.

Windsuks... I hope we left the house in good order! Kidding. I know we did. It's a pretty sweet place huh? Love the vid, looks like you had as good of a time as we did. Perhaps next year we'll be in town at the same time. Have fun.
take care

Whaooo "windsucks" (BLASTKITEBOARDING), that is a nice video you guys put together of your trip to the Outer Banks.
I wish people would take care of me and my wife like that when we travel to places. It is always nice to have some one who cares about you and want to make sure you are having a great time.
I guess you did not have to bring anything. Everything was given to you guys even the Stand Up Paddles.

On another note these are some pictures of the EPIC demos we are still doing here on the Outer Banks (NC. USA).
These were taken yesterday in Avon at KITE POINT and at the LIGHT HOUSE. It was a long day....

It is so amazing the feed back we are getting on these demos. More and more people are emailing us wanting to demo them. I guess the word is going around about the EPIC kites.
These are some of the input I am getting from kiters:

-How much can I get one for? Do you have any demos...
-I have been trying to demo them since last year...
-My friend loves his and told me to try them if I get a chance....
-I read a lot of good things on the internet about these kites, and I want to try one if possible....
-I can't beleive I just bought 2 ________ kites last week. I wish I would of tried these kites before buying what I have now...
-I am going to let my wife take my old kites and get the RENEGADE 11 to start...
-The SCREAMER was too powerful for me but love the RENEGADE..
-Can't beleive the hang time I am getting on the SCREAMER compare to the kite I owe now...
-The SCREAMER already made me a better kiter in 40 minutes I have been on...
-Can I buy this demo black SCREAMER 10 that you have? I love it. What other colors the S10 comes in?

And so on.

P.S. This is the reason why we have this warning on all our ads: "WARNING DO NOT BUY ANOTHER KITE UNTIL YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE AND EPIC KITE." Because we know the results.

Yup, all I needed was my shorty and rash vest.....everything else was provided.
Kites/Boards/Harness/SUP's/House, jeez even condoms (xxs)!
You must come visit us sometime, I'll even throw in a packet of condoms (my XL)


Thanks again Dimitri and Family for an EPIC trip!

A Cold Day In Persfjord "Arctic kiteboarding"



The 24th of April 2012. Tor Egil Djupå went for it. Winds at 17m/s from the north-east. Air temperature around +4 degrees and water around the same.

Tor Egil is testing his Epic renegade 9m2 with shorter lines.

Me just wanted to test some of my new gear.

Location Persfjorden Vardø Norway.

Just got back from a week in Avon and while I am trying to get caught up on work I wanted to take a minute to post a few pictures. I came down with a group of 70 kiters! WE come down every spring and for several years Dimitri has been great enough to come do demos, kite with us, and it always makes our trip memorable! Getting to kite with someone as talented as Dimitri is a pleasure and watching Cameron rip makes me realize I got started too late in life.

Anyway this year Dimitri gave us a whole car full of kites to demo for the week. Full quivers of screamers, renegades, a racer 17, infinity and Judge 8/11. What a great thing to be able to grab a great demo kite for a down winder and try something new.

Everyone who tried the kites loved them. Some preferred the power of the screamer, while a couple people who were just learning to stay upwind rocked the renegade and got off the water having stayed upwind and raving about the best session ever. A few of us got to fly the new racer and were impressed by the power and stability. In the end it came down to what your style is and what you preferred.

Me personally I rocked the Judge 11 for two days straight. Hands down my favorite kite ever. I already own a full quiver of Screamers and have been sold on them for a couple years. But the Judge...Well this kite rocks. I am just starting to unhook and do raleys and have never felt so confident and comfortable on a kite. I just always know exactly where it is and the pop is incredible. It just makes unhooking feel like regular riding. At the same time the power on this kite is unreal. I am a bigger guy, over 200lbs, and was riding this thing perfectly powered in 18-22 mph. For me thats usually still 14m weather! I was on the 11m while my skinnier friends were on 12s and 13s. Of course the only downside to having all these great kites to demo...After demoing I had to buy it! SO now my wallet is a bit lighter but I couldn't be happier with the Judge 11.

I posted some pictures, wish they were more exciting but we were all too busy kiting to take photos. Oh don't miss the photo of us flying the Infinity in 4-10 mph of wind on top of the Dunes at nags head...

(note a few of these pictures Dimitri took and emailed me so if they were posted previously and I missed them my apologies!)

The out takes......

Once again big thanks to Dimitri for his amazing hospitality and awful singing & entertainment!
