@KevinTheKiter what part of the North are you from? We are based in the North East, we kite and teach from Redcar up. I had four emails last week from people looking for an Infinity V2, 1 from the UK, 1 from Germany, 1 from Italy and 1 from Sweden. I'm sorry we are sold out! I just sold 2 Screamers last week to a local bloke who tried the demo's we have, he loves the speed and lift of the Screamers. The bloke who bought our ex demo 14m Screamer can't get over how fast it turns, his mate bought the 9m Screamer after trying his 14m. so as windsuks has stated "They tried them, they bought them, simple" If you want to demo a kite or board in the North East just let me know, we have the Renegades, Screamers and Judge kites, the Reef, Spartan, Droid and Oxygen boards. We also have an ex demo Infinity V1 and a 11m Renegade for sale. www.evolutionkites.co.uk

I'm sure you know now what he means. Possible? Thanks a lot. Cheers Caesar  Thank you Mr. Caesar for taking the time to elaborate on the Micro Loop. You actually don't need the " Micro Loop" on the EPIC XTEND BAR because we use the STOPPER BALL instead to do all these no hand tricks (see pictures bellow). All you have to do is pull the stopper right against the bar and you are all set. The kite will be fully power so you can release your hands from the bar and do the trick you want to do with out depowering the kite. The STOPPER BALL is an incredible tool for kiting. At least 70% of the kite companies out there use a " Stopper Ball" but most of them don't work as well. You want a " Stopper Ball" that will hold the bar were you want it to be with out sliding up while you are doing your boards off or no hands off, but also you want a " Stopper Ball" that will be able to slide up when you are ready to slide it up by pushing it with the bar or by hand. So it is very hard to come up with the perfect " Stopper Ball" that you can trust while doing your tricks ups side down and also push it away in case you want to depower the kite. All this said, Momi and I were able to get the perfect balance on our new " EPIC STOPPER BALL" that will do what a " Stopper Ball" is suppose to do perfectly. But again you have to be careful with the " Stopper Ball" because it is like a " Cruise control" on your car, so you have to be more alert when using it. P.S. I am working on a video that will give you a better idea of what I am talking about. I hope this will help you getting a better idea on the new EPIC XTEND BAR.

Hi Dimitri!
don't you hurt your finger on the lower edge of the stopper ball? Looks sharp...maybe have it sand round in production?
cheers!

If that is not justified, no worries. It was only a question/suggestion and not every customer request can be fulfilled. Looking forward to the video. Cheers Caesar

I don't feel any need to disguise my identity, I just don't choose to share it fully on the internet with people like you (who seem a little unbalanced). Pip pip.
I kite in the North of England but travel a lot with my job so really I don't have a local beach. I do though know a lot of kiters and schools/shops in the UK. Seems some of your countrymen might doubt your identity and location, just as I do. Do people in England still say Pip Pip? Never have you written Mate or any other English slang that I read from our English forum members. You continue to be vague when pressed....how come? As for my name, it's Chrys and I live in Austin Texas ...if you look at my posting history you will find conversations that include my name, my exact location, my age, my weight, my local kiting spots, the names of some of my riding buddies, information about my life, my wife, kids, dogs, my broken body parts, my other interests and passions ..and my picture right next to my forum moniker Oldnbroken (which is a nickname that my son likes to call me when we do construction work together.) I am an open book "Kevin" ..how about you? In your travels to many schools/shops, maybe it would be fun to stop in to these blokes (that's English slang for fellows) shops, Blast and Evolution seem to want to get to know you. I'm sure they would love to discuss kites with you, get in a session with you and maybe swap kites with you so they can experience the RPM magic and you can give the 3G kites a whirl. Maybe even talk one of them into giving you as good a deal as your Slingy dealer buddy does!! So, ....any local beaches to share?, any local riding buddies?, any interesting anecdotes about your life? ....anything specific that might make you a real boy Pinocchio? Who is KevintheKiter's Geppetto.

Me and Kevin kite all the time in North England. Here's a picture of us kiting together last week:  Now you know what we look like!
