Saw a big yellow Cabrihna kite. Paused the video, got the popcorn! Wasn't disappointed.

Looks expensive.

With every right. This is bleeding edge technology. Just because you can’t afford it doesn’t make it over priced.

Racers are a funny bunch, in any sports expensive complicated gear for that extra 1 knot.

Hybrid of both. Small <boom> in the middle. Riding that way I can never go back to standard handles. Helps tremendously in high winds AND low winds AND jibes/tack. Lets you also ride one handed. Less tiring. More reach. etc etc...

50% for previous year model is about right. Thats the quality your really getting on these incredibly inflated and idiotic new gear prices. I have before/after pictures taken pictures of brand new kites, and after a year of normal use (around 2 to 3 times a week) for manufactures. These are definite...

HI, this is Iain from Ozone. Just to clear up some of the posts. We do have our own factory, we do make our own bladders but we purchase the valves from a supplier, we do not have injection moulding machines in the factory.

I tried the smallest Kanaha macho pro board I think around 75cm but was a bit tough to hold in chops / powered up and the board has naturally less rocker. It really...

Correct gear is super important. I started winging with a 1400cm2 foil and a 4m2 wing...Hated it, couldn't get going flying around 10 knots wind. Needed at least 15 to 20 knots. Went back to kitefoiling. Then I tried a 5.5 / 6m2 wing with a 2400cm2 foil, 5'2 90L board. Was actually super fun in arou...

Armstrong service is tops. Blew my A-wing bladder, pumping way too fast while still folded (kind of a no no for wings due to the bladder sizes...habit from kitesurfing) bladder inside was probably twisted and blew. Contacted Armstrong, sent a couple of pictures, response right away and new bladder a...
