| There have been quite
a few rumours flying whether Ozone were going to release
an inflatable kite this year - check out the Ozone Instinct.
The Instinct is an incredible kite and even
though it may look like an average "Flat" or "Bow"
kite, the Instinct is very original.
Here are some facts:
The Instinct will be available in 7m, 9m, 11m, 13m and 15m
sizes.
The Instinct has serious power! (and huge
depower) and cannot be compared size for size to a standard
c-shape inflatable .
Outlined below are some of the very important
differences:
- No pulleys on the bar or in the kite
at all
- No fibreglass battens in the kite at
all so no hassles for packing/travel or damage can result
from impacts
- The Instinct has a 5th line but this
is part of the trim/support system - not used as a safety
system
The Instinct has 5 lines and attaches like any other standard
C-Kite inflatable
- No leading edge bridles like the other
brands "Flat" or "Bow" inflatable.
The Instinct has a Y -bridle that splits to the center
of the leading edge from the 5th support/trim line (like
other regular tube kites)
- Innovative trim system - a graduating
trim ratio between the 2 power lines and the 5th support/Trim
line
- Incredible wind range - 82 kg and on
standard type twin tip 132x 39 have been accurately measured
riding with the 11m from 10 - 30+ knots.
- The low wind range of the Instinct is
truly incredible. Riding with the Instinct 11m when other
riders have same power or less on 14-16m regular C-Kite
inflatable.
- The bar has very light pressure - perfect
for all riders
- The safety system works by letting go
of the bar or pushing away the bar to the stopper for
total depower. The bar when fully de-powered is still
within arms reach even by tiny armed people
- Incredible upwind performance - beginners
can ride the Instinct easily and stay upwind and have
100% confidence in the depower system
- Innovative design/invention to stop
the kite inverting on the water when crashed. The instinct
has a unique automatic relaunch feature with no invert
issues and literally relaunches itself towards the edge
of the window no matter how or where it is crashed into
the water and waits at edge of wind window even if it
falls onto its back
- Rides un hooked without issues for the
expert rider - its standard C-Kite attachment means expert
riders and die-hard C-shape inflatable riders will love
the Instinct
- Huge de-power and insane lift equals
easy controllable power.
- Anti tangle mesh fitted over leading
edge central strut to stop lines from getting caught on
the bladders.
- The Instinct is built in Ozone's factory
with their highest quality and attention to detail including
the bladders.
