The Light XC has come of age in 2009. No longer can it be viewed as just a school or beginners kite, this new generation is truly the perfect crossover kite for all levels of rider.
Progressive power delivery, sharper handling and better all-round performance means that from school to wave or even unhooked the Light XC packs the perfect punch to progress safely and stress free.
No longer one pump for simplicity when changing bladders. Often in the early stages of kiting the kite can take a hammering and also in the waves. For this reason we have have taken the one pump off the light this year which makes it more robust.
Increased bar pressure for a better feel of the kite which makes it more intuitive to fly through the wind range.´
Two handling options- tractor (slower with more bar pressure to have time for the beginner to react) and hot rod (faster lighter bar pressure if you are used to kiting; reacts quicker for wave riding)
Modified profile increased camber for more grunt and bar pressure.
Tube Size- increased to accommodate 4 lines and assist with relaunch due to better flotation.
Modified Plan Form- smoother leading edge curve, to help it roll up on its tip to come off the water quicker.
Optimized Strut Placement- the outer strut has been moved towards the root for better sail control and to reduce trailing edge flutter- also helps the tip flex for better handling.
Tube and Top Surface Attachment- Millimeter precise optimization of both the tube size and top surface panels gives us the cleanest leading edge in the business. This enables the air to accelerate quickly over the smooth surfaces enhancing performance across the range.
2009 Ozone Instinct Sport +
The Ozone Instinct Sport +
The Sport+ bridges the gap between flat kites and the classic C-shape kites offering a more “grunty” feel whilst having heaps of de-power and amazing water re-launch characteristics.
Unhooked riding is made simple due to the direct handling and easy to find pop. Hooked in, the kite gives you that blast off feeling as you bury the edge of your board and hang on as it rockets you skyward. A true Free Ride kite for the progressive rider.
More grunt- more feedback in bar- better for freestyle, the rider can feel where the kite is through the bar.
Optimized handling-for kite looping (unhooked) for continuous power on landings-postive pull on full bar angles
-Increased bar pressure for a better feel of the kite which makes it more intuitive to fly throughout the wind range
-Two handling options- tractor (slower with more bar pressure to have time for the beginner to react) and hot rod (faster, lighter bar pressure if you are used to kiting; reacts quicker for wave riding).
Modified profile for more performance and smoother handling
Tube Size- increased to accommodate 4 lines and assist with relaunch due to better flotation
Modified Plan Form- smoother leading edge curve, to help it roll up on its tip to come off the water quicker
Optimized Strut placement- 2nd strut has been moved one panel towards the root resulting in increased sail control making the kite more rigid better for freestyle riding
Tube and Top Surface Attachment- Millimeter precise optimization of both the tube size and top surface panels gives us the cleanest leading edge in the business. This enables the air to accelerate quickly over the smooth surfaces enhancing performance across the range
2009 Ozone Instinct Edge RX
The Ozone Instinct Edge RX
The Edge RX is the top of the line when it comes to performance; if you like to go fast and boost massive classic style airs this kite is all about you.
The Edge RX’s high aspect ratio and thin section helps it slice through the air allowing for outstanding upwind performance and speed. Smooth and progressive feel in the bar with direct precise handling adds up to the ultimate ride for anyone performance driven.
Modified profile- high performance profile resulting in a more powerful faster kite, higher jumps with floaty decent.
Handling - direct and smooth.
Increased bar pressure for a better feel which makes it more intuitive to fly through the wind range.
Tube Size- increased to accommodate 4 lines and assist with relaunch due to better flotation.
Modified Plan Form- smoother leading edge curve, to help it roll up on its tip to come off the water quicker.
Tube and Top Surface Attachment- Millimeter precise optimization of both the tube size and top surface panels gives us the cleanest leading edge in the business. This enables the air to accelerate quickly over the smooth surfaces enhancing performance across the range.
