By the way ..... the new 08 bar has 30 cm shorter leader lines .... did you noticed ? as long as i remember it was one of you " mayor " complains and not forgetting a swivel at the CL , and of course the depower strap is also lower positioned .... looks like the Ozone guys do listen to customers ?marlboroughman wrote:Some are less fragile then others. I would say Ozone is one of them. If this thread was started to hurt Ozone because some stitching came off after self launching it is just silly. Ozone is hurting themselves by it's own stupidity. One thing is not understanding that they have a niche of the market and it is the people that actually like the fifth line and not offering an optional fifth line flag i´m not by any means a kite tech guy but i can tell you from first hand ( i´m probably one of the very few people who has actually " flied " a 5th line Instinct ) that the system is hard on develop , to explain you why it hasen´t achieved the results to be included on the kites would take too long but to think that is " just " a simple mod you are wrong otherwise you and many others out there would come long time ago with a solution and beside of complaining i don´t see any contribuition from your side , also this year i am not longer involved in this project since it is ( if you believe it ) a really time consuming work and the little free time i have i prefer to kite instead of spending countless hours at the beach testing but it is quite something else when they offer different price in Europe then US.what about a North Rhino 12 for € 1780.- ( $ 2,700.- ) or a Best Waroo 11 for € 1.190.- ( $ 1.860.- ) and those kites are sold like hot potatos, just to name you a few , also my new Apple Macbook cost me € 999.- ( $1.600 ) and at the Apple store in your country you pay $ 999.- so for $ 1.600.- i could get a macbook pro ..... yes i know life is s*** They think those EU shops will want to carry Ozone after being shafted like that. I do not know, yes you don´t know Ozone is making so many mistakes they might end up like Wipika, nice kites zero interest.actually to my surprise Ozone kites are selling really good .... at least here in Tarifa , last weekend i saw several " green " Ozones ,looks like it will be " the 08 color of choice " and many guys are telling me that the new Sport is da kite, great depower , C kite feeling , excellent for unhooked tricks , in general much better than last years kites .
Uh .. i see .... so without the anti invert lines ?.... ok ... what about this : try your set up on strong gusty winds in the water and tell me how it works , and don´t forget to add some nice waves in between .marlboroughman wrote:I've been riding Ozone with fifth line flag for three months in the snow flagging it after every session and it works like a charm. Buddy of mine keeps flying with those idiotic anti inverts lines and he is bugging me every five minutes to take them of the wing since they never stop going over it. My Ozone guy is very upset about US prices and telling us to order there. He doesn't give a shit about Ozone anymore.
