10 -14 kts today - A little frustrating for the riders but lesson for Becky went well. Wind started at 1pm and give its best blow just before sundown. John, Evason Spa Manager found a new parking spot for the kite, at least it wont get any sand on it!
N0t the best place for your new bandit john.......
New Ozone 09 gear arrived here is Davo’s report:
First Impressions are that the kite is much simpler this year with no 5th line, no span line and the flag out hook point is on the chicken loop, all this shows that the guys at ozone’s research and development are really pushing things in the right direction. I flew a 15m sport + and 14m Light XC, on 12-14kts Both kites have a much more solid feel through the bar when in flight but not as heavy as a bow kite.
So far only tried them on only lightish winds but I was well impressed, like 08 the 15m sport is an epic kite and flew much the same as last year, main difference was the jumps, more hang time than last years edge for sure!
As for the Light XC, BLOWN AWAY! This kite has come on a long way with a lot more grunt than last year, it’s faster and does not flex when you take it across the power zone. As the name suggests this years kite is an incredible light wind machine. See the picture of Hill tanking up wind without a single white cap on the water.
A solid 15kts and I’m breaking out the 13m Edge RX, can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
