HI,

I have a Fanatic, but would like to own a lighter wind stunt kite. I
certainly have not outgrown the Fanatic, just want something I can fly
outdoors on very light wind days. People have been suggesting the Ozone to
me. Does anyone have any experiences (good/bad) with the Ozone?

Thanks,

Hi Bruno,

Go for it! It's a nice kite you'll be flying when the wind is low end no
problem and since your flying a Prism already it will fit into your flying
style just fine.

Got to fly,

Bruno,
Great kite!
It taught me to do big, slow floaty axles, 540's, mutiple axles, 360's
and up-and-over's. Great for the city, where winds tend to by light and
inconsistent. My favorite of the Prism line.

Try it 4 MPH, then 1 or 2, then 0.
There's a whole other world of light wind flying waiting for you.

One word of caution if you're planning on flying in the city. Switch to
your Fanatic before the wind gets to the Ozone's rated speed. Around
here, the wind can gust from 5-15 with amazing speed.

Regards,
Don

The ozone is a great low wind kite and can be flown even in no wind nicely.
I fly mine with 50 ft. 50# lines in very light to no wind. 360 are a nice
slow walk and tricks like axles, fades, 540's, lazy Susan's, rising fades
etc.. are all similar to an Illusion. The lighter mass of the kite makes
some moves a little harder but not much. It is my first pick for those light
wind days. Hope this helps.
