Removing white space above and below slider wide, Epik 1.5

Hi,

I am working with Epik 1.5 at this URL (www.fitcoast.com), and am trying to remove the white space above and below the slider image. I’ve tried reducing the px padding values to 0 in the slider wide CSS widget area on the style sheet, but it makes no difference. Could use some guidance if anyone has an idea to try.

Thanks!
