Gear: SCREAMER 7/9/12/14 for Free Style. Not to forget the SCREAMER 10 LTD for my one go kite. 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.

I weigh 210-Lb; and ride an Underground 145 X 45'ish board ; what's the
lightest wind i could expect to go in, with that kite ? I need 13 to 14-mph wind, to
marginally get up , and go ; with my 13M Ozone Edge.
If it helps. I'm 225 6ft in light wind with a 152/46 axis board on my infinity I'm rolling in 13mph winds.
Staying up wind is a breeze so I figure I'm good with that setup in no less then 12 But with a sup or a surf board I'm almost certain I could kite in 8-9mph winds.
I was out in obx July 5th it was blowing maybe 10 mph not steady and my epic infinity had no issues staying in the air but my board was a tt, I know I could have road with a surf. For sure.

My guess from all the other infinity advertisements is that you need like 4 kts!

Hello Bille,
I think the best thing will be for you to demo the kite and see it for yourself.
Send me an email at: dimitri@epickites.com so I can get all your info concerning shipping you an INFINITY v4 demo.
But to answer your question you will start having fun on the INFINITY V4 kite in 10 to 14 mph on your board but if you get a wider board such as 47cm wide you will be able to plane even earlier. But it also depends on your experience with kite control and board control in light wind conditions.
But again the best thing will be for you to demo the kite and see what this kite is all about.
