which sound pretty complicated !
Had me thinking the same thing !
I feel it was a bit much to cast dispersions
on this persons'professional character !
No worries User
I was not and have not cast dispersions on the persons "professional character", I simply voiced my opinion, on his opinion, and called it BS, OK?
The forum member (Macca), who modded his Instinct, was referring to his Instinct 06, which he modded to be like the Instinct 07, (I've done it to several 2006 Instinct kites now too).
A competing dealer, who bags a competing product, that he does not sell, based on flying the previous years model, deserves his opinion to be questioned. Judgements of his character can be left to readers of this forum to form, on their own.
I'll say it again, very clearly - the 2007 Ozone Instinct, Light, Sport and Edge, fly fine straight out of the bag, however they do have light bar pressure, and some riders seem to think after flying the kite on the beach that the kites need to have the rear lines shortened. Simply untrue, once on the water in the winds they are designed for the kites perform extremely well.
There are probably dozens of kites the exhibit similar light wind beach flown characteristics that are similar, ie; will not sit stably at the windows edge, will not park overhead, difficult or impossible to relaunch in sub 6/7 knot conditions, etc, etc.
Once again, the 2007 Ozone Instinct Light, Sport and Edge fly fine straight out of the bag.
