So the ozone edge v9 is out any week now. But little to no information has been released.
Chris Bull has been testing them in Cape Town and putting in some serious good WOO results around 18m. The only feedback I have heard so far is that it has super solid wingtips. I'm guess this design change may be due to being able to buckle the tips on the v8 of powered.
If you have any pictures, personal experience or even rumours on the new V9 Edge, please share here.

Sebastian Cattelan just posted up 24.3m on a 7m V9 with 9 x 20m+ jumps in one session!
Granted it is going off today and Nick Jacobson has done 28.6m, incredible!

I have asked for one to be put aside for me as soon as they arrive in the UK. Time to upgrade my 2014! 10m
Fat Blokes - Tom who works at the importers said that they have made the kite all about jumping and that it no longer folds in on the tips when bigger guys send it in huge winds (something mine does unless I have it pumped up to a scary PSI)
Heavier bar pressure too, can't wait!
p.s. the vid from above, thanks for that but the second one that plays of Seb C is no WAY near 21m... looks like about 10-12m

lol.... in 35-40 knots, my 9m flapped like a beehatch - but at least this is a good indicator, as it only really does this on jumps over 14m
Agree - the above looks in the 12-15m range

The heavier barpressure is probably one of the changes that cured the wingtip problems
