£145 ONO + postage FLOWN ONCE, IN AS NEW CONDITION! The Ozone Flow is a kite for anyone who is looking for an entry into traction kiting sports such as buggy or landboarding or for the more experienced flyer who wants a good all round kite with easy flying characteristics, super stable and plenty of performance. The 3m is the ideal entry point in the range for the land locked kiter generating power early on in the wind range while always being easy to control. Quite possibly the perfect introduction to landboarding. It is supremely easy to use with mountains of performance to get you moving in a buggy, on a land board or just getting dragged along in the sand. includes: Ozone Flow 4-Line Power Kite Ozone 20m 180/110kg Quad Line Set Ozone Quad handles Ozone Flow Rucksack Ozone Ground Stake Manual and stickers etc.

UPDATE Thanks everyone for your help and advice. After a lot of internet searching and calling up a few kite shops, I managed to track down what I think must be the only shop left in the UK still selling their last Ozone Flows... so I am now the proud owner of a 2011 model blue/white/black 3m Ozone Flow! Check out anti-gravity.co.uk in York who may have a few left. They are at reduced prices too so a little cheaper than the octane at £170 on handles or £200 on bar. Now just need to get out and have fun flying it!
-
ANOTHER UPDATE: Looks like i'm not getting the flow (unless I can find anywhere with the 3m still in stock) and cant really afford the octane and dont particularly like the 3m colours... (picky i know but you dont want to stare at something you dont like the look of) sooo... Spoke to a few different kite shops today (including PKS) and was told by pretty much all of them that for my weight (11stone) and because i'm not wanting to landboard/buggy, just to have a good fun flying sessions in a wide range of winds, that I should stick to around the 3m size mark and maybe I should also consider the following... Flexifoil Sting 3.3 - good price but conflicting reviews, some saying its a kids kite, others saying great fun?? thoughts? Flexifoil Rage 2.5 or 3.5? - maybe too expensive? not sure on size either... Ozone Quattro (the new one, not the old imp version) - anyone flown one of these? any good? Im so confused now... help!
-
Great! Thanks Low Flying! Yeh I cant afford any more kites after this so I want one which will last me - looks like the 4m is the way to go
-
UPDATE: OK, so they didnt have the Flow in stock so might be getting an Octane instead... my question to everyone is, should I get the 3m or 4m? The shop have recommended the 4m as they say it will give me more fun in lighter winds and I will get more fun out of it in the long run as I get more experienced... true? I am tempted as I got bored of the Big Buzz quite quickly in lighter winds and I can always get that out if it gets blustery... but at 11stone i'm still worried (and so is my wife!) that I might break my arm/leg/neck if it takes me for a ride... your expertise would be greatly appreciated...

thanks Mark. I'll have a look around - i was just tempted to get Ozone's new stake Ozone Ground Stake Groundstake Power Traction Kite Harness Control Gear Traction Wrist Leash Safety System Flow Method Quattro Power Kite Shop UK Equipment Powerkiteshop but may just borrow one of my spare tent pegs for now until I see how I get on...
-
One more newbie question... I have noticed that although the new octane kite comes with a ground stake, it doesnt look like the ozone flow does?? Can someone confirm if this is the case, and if so, do I need to purchase one for static flying? I never used one before with my Big Buzz, just a question of me or the wife running and jumping on the kite! Is it an essential piece of kit now i'm moving to 4-liners?
-
Cheers guys - i think i'll see where the wind takes me!
-
Thanks, hope i don't regret not spending the extra on the octane 4m... But i think i was worried about the bigger size being more likely to pull me over and possibly less versatile and as im not looking to board or buggy i presumed the 3m would be more fun and manageable in medium-high winds Looking foreward to flying it now!
-
Couldn't resist - after reading all the positive reviews on here and other forums about the flow I went for the 3m... Looking forward to getting it now! :-) thanks for all your advice guys
-
thanks Steve, i'll have a look Just found a 2011 3m flow online for £160 discounted for bank holiday - should I go for it? looks like a great price for a new kite ... i was concerned that at only 11stone a 4 o4 5m would be too much pull for me..
-
Thanks, I emailed them - they have no more 3 or 4m flows. shame. I have put a request for a 3m flow in the wanted section, I might also extend that to 4m and see what crops up. 4m octane blue/yellow looks really good i think... i'm not keen on the 3m blue/red colours anyway. Just depends if I can save up a bit more cash!! If it's an improvement on the flow it might be worth it so I get a brand new kite... but it's about £208 at the moment unless anyone knows of a discount somewhere?
-
Thanks James. Yeh I heard the flows were good and I nearly bought one last year and i'm annoyed I missed my chance cos theyre out of stock/discontinued everywhere! I found this ATB ex-demo list before but when you click the link above to buy the flow is not listed so i'm guessing they sold it already, also i'm only 11stone so a bit worried the 5m is too big for me? - im only static flying and i dont wanna get spanked! As i dont want to buggy should i not stick with 3 or 4m? Quick question - If the flow is so well respected as a good kite, will the replacement ozone octane be as good or even improved? Or have they changed in quality? I quite like the design of the octane 4m... Just the price tag thats putting me off at the moment... Has anyone flown one yet?

Hi all, Am 29 and got a flexifoil big buzz last year as a present which has been great fun (especially in high winds) but has got me thinking about maybe getting something a bit more exciting... I'm not looking to get into boarding or buggying, just something that will launch and fly cleanly, keep me entertained and give me a good workout without breaking my neck (i am just over 11stone). Oh and ideally in the £100-£200 range (unless someone as a good used one for sale?) After doing a lot of research on forums and reading reviews I am narrowing it down to the following and included my concerns... - Flexifoil Sting 3.3m (too close in feel to the buzz? will i get bored?) - Flexifoil Rage 2.5m or 3.5m (are these more for buggying?) - Ozone Flow 3m or 4m (now discontinued and sold out everywhere!?) - Ozone Octane 3m or 4m (Flow's replacement but high price for new style) - PKD Buster Soulfly (bargain price but should i get a better quality kite?) So... Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks, Cal
