Ozone Instinct Update - Attention Bow Riders! (thanks BAKB)
View topic - Ozone Instinct Update - Attention Bow Riders!: "Many of you have heard the rumors that Ozone is working on an inflatable water kite, and I wanted to pass on the latest information to all of you. The kite is a new style of design and will be available soon. Please read below for facts about this amazing new wing.
For over half a decade Ozone has been dedicated to creating the highest quality Power and Snowkites and we have pioneered new technology that has made the sport safer and easier to learn. There has been a massive demand for Ozone to bring their world renowned kite designs into the surf market, and this summer we proudly release our first dedicated water-kite, the Instinct.

Here is the run down of basic features and design ideas that were put into the Instinct.

Pulleys reduce the feel you get from a kite therefore making it harder for the rider to feel and control the kite instinctively.
• No Bridling >> You connect your flying lines directly to the Instinct as with any standard water kite, the kite lines do not run through a bridling system. The 5th line is a support line used for trimming the kite and is connected directly to the center of the leading edge; note that it is not used as part of the safety system at all. ….In our testing w"
