Hi
I bought an 07 ozone instinct sport from kitepower about a yr ago and am having some issues, first i am finding build quality isnt as good as people are saying it is bacause all my friends kites that were bought about the same time and had about the same amount of use and where basically looked after the same were in much better condition than mine, eg. my lines stretched more and are more worn, one pump valve needed replacing as it had a hole, and it is generally more worn.
Also i have just broken my bar... i am lead to believe this shouldnt be possible in the conditions i was using them and that the bar should be the last thing to brake (will discribe later) i am wondering if it is possible to fix or if its worth just getting a new kite, but then i would have to sell...
Instance that caused my bar to break...
I came in from kiting and tried to self land my kite (which isnt my strongest point and works on a 50-50 basis) so just before landing it takes off again and i throw the lines out so they wont tangle around the bar, but they did so i hold on as the kite whipps across the window and just before it crashes one end of the bar (the right tip) popps out of the socket? (it appears to be of this design) so i manage to land the kite using the front lines and well basically my bar war broken.
i took a look at it and it appears that all that need to be done is removal of the old glue and reglueing it together...
i'm kinda pissed because well kites are expensive and well it shouldnt be this problematic, i think im going back to cabrinha as they seem alot better build wise, its a pity cause i do like the speed of the ozones
