3 more valves broke on my 7m v8. I haven't even flown it since the other 5 valves were replaced in Cabarete. They said this happens a lot on Ozone. They replaced the valves with slingshot valves so if you are thinking of replacing them, the slingshot valves fit perfectly. I just bought 6 more to replace all of them, wish I had done that in cabarete, now sitting in hood river repairing a kite instead of flying it.
I have ozone edges V1 (the red and black ones) that have much more use and never died. I replaced those older ones recently just because I want more loopy kites but never buying ozone again with their lack of quality control. QA seems to have failed on the quick release too after seeing Ruben Lenten's broken foot after accidental release.
Some asked about storage, I store the kite the same as all my kites, in AC on a rack and this was the one that was used the least living in Florida.
This 7m v8 will be replaced soon, no more ozone for me, all Flysurfer Boosts now
