Hi all, just refreshing this topic again as it is from 2019 last post, but maybe this could be better after all new releases for 2022 kites…. But just too curious.
Okay, my current situation is that I using a Ozone Zephyr V6 (17 mtr) just pure for Airstyle with a 45 cm Ozone V4 Water Contact bar with 30 mtr lines. As I use also my own fabricated Micro Hook system which works very well. I enjoy my progression each time. I ride this kite up to 22-24 knots. I only can say it is a great kite, especially in gusty conditions. However; it is I believe not the best Hangtime kite nor it will be the highest jumper. But as my progression moves forward, I need to slower the kite more, I moved the pigtails more towards the leading edge (slower steering but higher bar pressure) And this is my current problem…….. I do have injured my muscles the Biceps and Triceps by overloading due to this high bar pressure. ….
Is their any way of decrease the bar pressure without moving the pigtails back to the end of the tips?
Otherwise I believe I will look for a replacement of my Zephyr, so big kite 17-19 mtr but no Foils. I tried it a couple of times, but just not my interest.
So any update for big size kites with low bar pressure but off course HANGTIME…
Ozone Edge V10 17 -19 mtr. Could be also an option, not sure how the bar pressure is. I did have the 13 mtr. V10 Edge and that bar pressure was better than my Zephyr. But never tried the big size one. Negative side of the Edge,… it is horrible for relaunch after crashing it.
Core XR7 17mtr LW looks also very nice, but my experiences with the XR is high bar pressure… is this still the same? And could we ride this with my own 4 line bar? As Core as a high Y line configuration. But is easy for relaunching even in light winds conditions.
Some other brands and type would be usefull. As it is difficult to find bigger sizes than 14 mtr. Nowadays.
Thanks all for your reactions/ advises
