Promised I would post something on this kite when I had some better wind.
Had 25 to 32 knots today I was on my Ozone 13m edge used 3 boards
07 underground FLX 138, 07 nobile 555 145 and a 135.
The Kite handled these conditions very well. Full depower and the kite still handled like a dream and boosted very well. Had to use the depower control alot today and I didn't have any trouble with the lines getting wrapped around the 5th line. This has been an issue in the pastand sometime the trim line is hard to get at. My north 5th element bars are much better in this area than the Ozone bar.
On the noble boards I was able to comfortablly control speed and power by edging the board. I never got pulled off my edge once today. Only time I noticed gusts was boosting when I was getting an extra lift. and on the beach when landing. I would have to say it handled the conditions better than my Rebel 14. I also took out My 07 Rhino 10m I think I jumped higher on this kite but I came down hard and fast the Ozone is definetly a nicer kite to jump as the hang time today was the best I have experienced. I still found the Underground board nice to ride but both noble boards seemed to edge better. When I changed boards from Nobile to underground I slipped around on the underground and couldn't quite go as high unwind.The new underground pads rock. I am gonna change the pads off my underground and put them on the Nobile. I think the board will be near perfect (for me that is ) once I have made this mod.
