Ozone Frenzy

This was my first depower. I know i must of been mental. Well it came up on ebay and i had to have it. i got carried away.

I will give a quick rundown on the bag etc, (boring i know but i feel it helps)

Bag; easily the best of all the bags by absolutly miles, had 5 differnt makes now and this just kicks ass, its like a marines back pack.

Kite; Probably the best material i have felt, feels really strong, but unlike other kites its soft and not crispy. feels slightly heavier than others so maybe this is why it feels stronger? but the quality of the lines and kite and bar shows why these kites arnt cheap.

Now then first flight, set up unrolled, and unwound the lines. the advantage with this sort of kite, is the set up time, so quick, no inflation, no faffing just unwrapp and up you go. trimmer line off and this is done through the clam cleat system, in my view i really like it much better than material straps.

I flew it in about 10mph first time, the power is really there with this thing, but the speed it turns at shocked me. much faster than i ever thought it would be for such a monster. This i find it important as you have to keep it moving it doesnt like siting still. Now then jumping, pretty simple just pull the bar in and up you pop. The float isnt as big as an arc i dont think and height is about the same, im sure with practice and powered up it wouldnt be hard to go big with this beast.

Now after flying it in more conditions, i find the frenzy to really not handle gusts well at all. i read on other reviews it eats them up, well it doesnt. If it gusts and lulls the kite will loose all the air in it and then be like a big pile of washing in the sky, this is annoying for 2 reasons, either it will sort itself out and boost you in the power zone which will spank you or it will tangle up and land resulting in unhooking and sorting it out. i found this very annoying so if your going to fly a frenzy inland dont say i didnt warn you it can irritate the hell out of you.

If boarding on beaches in a nice clean wind i doubt theres a better kite, for ease of use, setting up time, and behaviour.

great if you fly solo by the way due to being able to set up and fly all on your own no probs.whereas arcs lei etc need a helper really.

The other thing i should mention is the safety. the red top hat safety is a favourite of mine. i think its great. you can grab it so easily even when something happens and you panic. it instantly kills the power completly and i think this system is great.

So would i say go and buy one?????

Well if your
A) a solo flyer
looking for quick set up times
C) want predicability with safety but also go big with jumps

But i really would steer away if you want to fly inland in gusty conditions. i just find its frustrating with the luffing it seems to spend more time on the floor in a bundle than flying. maybe its the way i fly but i just cant get on with it inland which is a real shame because everything other than that is perfect, and it is an awesome piece of equipment. i hope this helps if your struggling with what to get, anything ive missed plz ask thanks alot
