i think he is in florida or north carolina...not too sure though.
If anyone has ever seen his EPIC wipeout and carnage when he tried to jump a building on a pier (and is really lucky to not be paralyzed) it is amazing to see that he just got back on when he healed and kept riding.
The only thing about his amazing skills that I don't like is his Captain America wetsuit....which has nothing to do with his skills. The guy flat out rips.
Best kiting video EVER. Love the huge upside down boardoffs while flying over trees! SICK SICK SICK SICK!!!!!
Was chatting to dimitri last night through email he's an excitable chap. Not sure why we don't see more screamers around looks the right kite for this style. Who stocks them in Perth. Check out his YouTube clip talking about the 2012 screamers he a nutter. Love it when someone is excited about his product.
Yeh great vid great kiting so much lift and hang time and so smooth. This is why I got into kiting in the old mark shinn days and why I continue to kite. Well at least it's a dream to kite like that in reality I'm just another shmuk. But hey it's good to dream right!!
^^^ Epic make some great kites
Caroline at Elemental kiteboarding sells Epic

classic - great video ! although it could have been a really sweet 4 minuter
So entertaining and much easier to watch than coniption fit handle passes 2 ft off the water.
All the moves are circa 2003 - when people actually used to boost- noawdays its just a lawn moving festival.
does this mean kiting is back ?
you would think with Kiting being the ever evolving new "cool" sport that the airs would have gotten bigger and better from 2003.
The only things that have gotten bigger are attitudes and hairstyles
Sweeeet - awesome playground, and we get all excited over a 100m at Woodies or The Pond ![]()
Yeah Ive got the Screamers and Renegade models, the screamers are definately the Rocket Jump machines and when you mega loop the 10 or 9, you best hang on tight cause you get yanked very hard and a long way!
I like his videos because it shows what the kite can do as well as himself. Its very basic but straight to the point - no frills no stupid car intros no stupid nightclub shots... just pure fun kiteing at its best and is not scared to show his Big wipeouts and crashing into stuff.
Hes very carefull who he lets distribute his kites because of the very bad customer services rep a lot of places have, I hope one of the few Very Reputable places in Perth
get them one day
so I dont have to get them from elsewhere....
He must have had a go pro up every orrifice of his body, board and kite. He told me he shot all of it himself.
Gonna try and demo a screamer in Lancelin this summer apparently the retailers hang their that time of year. Definetly on my wish list to try.
How much of this is the kite and how much is Dimetri's talent ? I reckon he could do this stuff with the majority of kites on the market these days.
