Ive been flying Flexifoil for the last few years and I fancied a change. Risky when your forking out a lot of money. Ozone was my first port of call as the build quality on these kites are the best. After reading a few reviews on the Haka and the Cult I decided on opting for the Cult due to the write ups saying they were a little more user friendly. The kite comes in a good size bag which makes a change from the Flexifoil bags where you have to get the kite down to a postage stamp size to get it back in the bag. In fact there is enough room to fit a bottle of stella, packet of Jaffa Cakes and a copy of Fiesta I mean Power kite. The build quality of the kite is superb as expected. The whole package just oozes quality. The Bridles on the kite have been reduced to minimise drag and makes the whole set up lighter so it can fly in low winds without any trouble. On windier days it has a terrific turn rate for such a big kite and has no trouble going up wind. I've flown it about 11 times now and very rarely has it luffed the stability is incredible, in fact I don't know of another kite that could match it for stability. I wouldn't recommend this size of kite for the lighter person however if your more of the chubby rounded cheeky sort of chap this is the kite for you. It has some serious pulling power and produces really good floaty jumps. It doesn't rip you of the ground like Blades but with a bit of work you do take off and at this point as most of you know once your up their you'll want to come down to earth with a gentle bump rather than a spine cracking thump. Well this kite does that so it gives you the confidence to go that little bit higher. The 6.5 has 24 Cells and is made of High tenacity Ozone 40d Nylon and has Eurocord SK75 Dyneema Bridle Lines. The main lines are pre stretched Dyneema Flying lines 200kg and Brake lines are 100 kg all of which are colour coded and numbered so if you get it wrong you need a slap. It comes with Quad handles with Kite killers a good user manual more stickers than you can shake a stick at and a key ring. Some of the online stores offer a few other things but nothing to get to excited about. So conclusion do i recommend this kite. Well hell yeah its a damn fine kite. Was their any down sides? Not really but if I was going to be picky I would say ditch the strop cos it gets in the bloody way but thats a personal thing. I find the Kite killers a bit of a pain to put on the wrists compared with Flexifoil as they don't thread through a loop and I find it difficult to get them tight enough but you can get around it and last of all I found the brake lines to long. I like tightish break lines so i know when I put them on their is no delay but again this can be solved easily enough with another knot. So all in all spot on Ozone well done for making such a good kite.
