Description

The Ozone Method is a kite for anyone who is looking for the speed of a high performance kite, the stability of a beginner kite and yet handles like a sports car! It's your perfect next level engine for taking your traction kiting sports such as buggying or landboarding to new heights!

 

The Ozone Method has reduced line drag to a minimum with extensive use of diagonal bridles. Ozone have also worked on the sail tension to maintain a clean leading edge allowing the Method to produce good speed and still keep it very stable.

 

The aspect ratio is not over stretched and keeps the Ozone Method compact with a solid feeling without losing any speed. For users of the hugely successful Ozone Flow, the Method will feel it has a faster turn rate and it is quicker through the air therefore generating more power per size!

 

If you want to go fast and maintain good up wind ability without having to concentrate on the kite all the time you will find the Ozone Method perfect! Just about anyone with four line handle experience can fly this kite, it’s just easy and feels smooth and solid!

 

The Ozone Method not only flys well with four line handles but also flys exceptionally well with the Ozone Fixed Bridle or Turbo control bar, making it an excellent option for a performance landboarding kite, or for riders who prefer to use a bar.

 

No matter your level of four line kiting, the Ozone Method 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.

 

The Ozone Method is available in 5 sizes from 2.3 metres squared to 6.5 metres, which covers a huge wind range enabling you to get out kiting in almost all conditions.

 

Design Features:

 

Closed Cell Leading Edge:

Closed cell leading edge with mesh for clean air intake and extra strength.

 

Internal diagonal rib structure:
Reduces bridles helping to eliminate line drag distortion and manifests in a true feel for the interaction of kite with wind.

 

Optimized profile:
For power, speed and stability.

 

Internal diagonal rib structure:
Reduces bridles helping to eliminate line drag distortion and manifests in a true feel for the interaction of kite with wind.

 

Auto-stable wing curvature:
Equals rock solid all-conditions performance so pilot concentration remains unbroken.

 

Wing tip dirt-outs:
Linked to internal trailing edge sand-channels prevents any sand or debris from being trapped in the kite.

 

Hand-checked Ozone factory construction:

Utilizing highest grade Oztex 40d ripstop nylon fabric and pre-stretched dyneema control line throughout. This translates to the kite flying in lighter winds and a greater wind speed to power generated ratio and as the kite can penetrate the window deeper the up wind ability is superb. The stability is kept even with less bridling by the use of Diagonal-Rib construction, a method of strengthening the kite from inside to enable less support from the bridles.

Mylar Edged:
Aerodynamics tells us that the leading edge and the trailing edge are the two most critical lines in an aerofoil section. Ozone kites are Mylar taped on the leading edge, giving a more rigid structure, a clean and efficient aerofoil, and absolutely zero stretching. The Mylar tape effectively locks the sail shape, meaning your kite keeps it’s factory trim. For the trailing edge Ozone roll the seam twice and stitch to give a soft and clean exit for the airflow.

 

Double Stitched:
Ozone Method kites are double-needle stitched, which is stronger and more durable than single line stitching in the event of the kite being dragged over rough ground. Even the thread used for stitching the lines and sail is UV-bonded, further adding to the strength and life-span of our kites. Every seam is checked to within 0.5 mm; a look at the colour-scheme accuracy and the inside of the seams of our kites will highlight this fact.

 

Bridle Lines:

Ozone's aim when designing the bridle lines is to use the least amount of line possible, to minimise parasitic drag through the air, resulting in a more performant kite. Kite design has advanced to the point where the accuracy and diameter of the line lengths is vitally important. To achieve this accuracy, Ozone use the highest quality Dyneema lines which are stitch finished for extra strength and less drag.

 

Attachment Tabs:
The Ozone Method's attachment tabs are sewn deep into the reinforcement area of the ribs, which means that the load is spread over a larger area of material, thus reducing any stretching and ageing of the cloth.

 

Flying Lines:
Tested to 180/110kg, Ozone’s heat-treated Eurocord Dyneema SK75 lines ensure stretch resistance, a high thermal tolerance and durability for all kites. Lines are cut, pre-stretched, sleeved and stitched to ensure 100% accuracy. The lines are final load tested to 60% of their breaking strain to “lock” the line and as a final production check. The ‘kook-proof’ colour-coded and labeled line connection system makes set-up safer and completely stress-free for riders new to kiting.

Buy with confidence! Pete Griffin >>

 

Wow.....Love it already and I've only taken it out a couple of times.

 

Right through the wind range the Ozone Method 6.5m was steady and left me feeling comfortable pushing it further and further.

 

Launching and landing is great and hardly any flapping about when staked out.

 

Buy with confidence, you wont be disappointed!
