Has anyone read latest Ozone newsletter? Ozone might introduce a new kite to its line....and a C shape nonetheless. NOW, what do you say to that??? :)

SICK??? Kitehard sick??? a serious understatement!! Not only Ozone changed their line for 09 but a C....a god darn C shape!!?? How many big brands are successfully continuing C line these days. Naish with Torchy. Anyone serious else?

I say FULLY SICK...FULLLLY SICK!!!! I am more than stoked with that news! That covers pretty much every target group there is for Ozone - good on you kids!! :)

Ooooo not a nice first impression :) and I am sure (being an Ozone kid by nature) it is mostly related to air pressure.
Remember that 09 models are not following the flat 08 line anymore. This isn't evolution of 08 models it is a pure mutation - with all its good and bad sides.

I see more goods though hahhahah

good on you chronic :)) as a matter of fact and much as I love what kitesurfing has become with all the safety, bow, flat revolutions...an old school C shape is something that I sorely miss. Something along the lines of X4 with this unforgettable feeling of your arms being pulled out of joints when you railey loop it.

you r right fozzy...I almost forgot about Fuel. Liquid - yeah - not really serious but a kind of C nonetheless :) no offense fozzy :)

Shame on those who used "C shape" as a derogatory term :)) heheh

Not really serious...kind of a C.....I'm not offended but I am curious if you hit your head recently or if you were drunk when you wrote this!

MMmmmmm Cookie Monster like C too - C is for cookie so must be cookie ahh all taste same to him

Matrix, Hydro, Indy, OS.
OS is still a current model and fully kick ass.
Im still trying to work on something that is as versatile in all areas.

Yeaaah...let me quote our PM here..."let me say a simple, respectful but straightforward No" to old Fuels :)) I liked the one they made in 06 though.

ok... so inability to "quote" properly aside..... generator...?

Raven was like making an electric car out of Lamborghini Diablo - pointless.

Raven was supposed to be a revolution after X line. Didn't really kicked in that revolution. I even used to own one....27m lines....argghhhh...

Performance was nothing like its counterpart in North. Nothing like. I give it to you it was a decent kite to have but that is all.

One of the most hilarious things I have ever seen was 5 people trying to figure out where the leak was on 8m Raven bladder and once they did (not worth mentioning the time they have achieved this) - repair it....have you ever tried to pull the strut bladder in 8m Raven...I mean what in the name of X4 they were thinking of when they introduced that kite.

But each to its own so :)

flexifoil have a few too. I've got a raven and am just going through the above mentioned bladder leak problems now. time to upgrade i think

when does it come out????

have many people tried the 09 sport, light, edge?

step forward or back???

I've tried the sport and its total different...............

There are plenty of c style kites out there. Hopefully ozone make a good one

Right, Fusion2!!....you know what they say
Fusion2 + Aaron Hadlow = World Freestyle Domination

but then again this kid would ride superbly on a kmart t shirt with two strings attached and a block of wood for a board :)

kitecrazzy - no doubt Ozone will make a fine C shape. Rob is far more experienced than the previous designer David was and above all with Ozone reputation they will make sure all is tested and top notch before release ļ. I hope we will have some test models before the winter S winds starts here is NSW.
