ACCESS XC 09

MANTA II 09

The Access XC is the perfect kite for buggy and landboard use for intermediates and pro’s alike, with its forgiving flying characteristics and rigid stability its the perfect kite for confidence building and gusty conditions, everyone has a place in their quiver for at least one access!

The Frenzy fyx is the next step for freestylers and freeriders alike, since it’s release in ‘03 its been at the originator and bench mark other company’s have tried to copy time and time again.

The Manta, high aspect kite, now in its 3rd year is the kite that dreams are made of. This is for serious flyers who wish to push the boundaries to the max, despite its easy flying characteristics this machine feeds on whatever you throw at it.

With a safety system second to none its easy to see why land users have embraced it with such passion and made it one of the most popular and successful depower foils of all time. In addition the Access XC doubles as a beginner’s snowkite for back country exploration and your own personal ski lift. There is a new bar in 54cm for all sizes, a brand new backpack design and awesome colours for ‘09. The Access XC, low aspect kite, is our most successful design to date due to its safe nature that schools, beginners, explorers and rippers will all enjoy!

This year the kite has not just be reworked, its been reinvented. This mid-aspect kite is pure grunt from low to high end, insane pop and loopabilty makes it the number one choice for landboarders and freestyle buggiers alike. Robbie has created the FYX based on the design of the Legendary Manta II. The FYX shares the same technically advanced Ozone “Speed System” with a double pulley on each side that allows the angle of attack (D-Power) to be changed minutely which results in the smoothest progression from full power to full D-Power. The Double Pulley speed system is designed to work in harmony with the bridle plan, sail tension and profile.

The balance of the design is what makes the mid-aspect FYX such a solid performer with un-beatable stability, turning speed, low end power and impressive D-Power.

The all new Control system for the FYX & Manta II ensure the rider the most effective, hassle free, release and re-load safety system in the industry.

The more input you give it, the more it rewards you. Float is the kites forte, with insane hang time for both land boarders and kite freestylers alike. This kite will take you where ever your passion desires. In 2008 the Manta II became known as the ultimate kite for those in the know. Its solid performance and incredibley tight turning radius make climbing mountains easier and more importantly safer. For the 09 Season the Manta II has been updated with an improved trim giving higher performance. It also comes with our new “Patent Pending” Control System and in our new colours.

Robbie’s words: “The Manta II I am happy to say is a lighter faster handling kite with dynamic pop with ridiculous hang time and amazing de-power. The two pulley speed system reduces bar pressure tremendously and allows the kite to fly faster while retaining stability throughout the wind range. In light wind you have to work the For more details visit www.marinemegastore.com orspeed call 0871 8732404 1 kite to gain but once you feel it power up it just keeps pulling progressively. In stronger wind the kite just powers up and is super fun to ride. Enjoy, Robbie”

In a World where Nature rarely provides perfect conditions the FLOW guarantees there is one kite you can always rely on.

WELCOME TO OUR OZONE WORLD

The FLOW with 4-line handles is the most popular choice for buggying and recreational flying, also finding favour with some board riders. the kite responds well to straightforward front line steerage while experts will appreciate the full range of control available when dynamic braking skills are used.

Ozone is more than just a kite company; we are a group of friends united in our passion to design products to the highest level. Our background is diverse; each member brings industry leading experience to the table creating products that we love to ride or fly.

Our Land/Snowkite designer exemplifies this diversity with his years of varied experience. Robbie Whittall (2x world champion, Hang gliding and Paragliding; designer, test pilot and trimmer) has been designing the snowkites and landkites you love so much for the past 9 years. This type of experience is the foundation of our ability to create industry leading designs with 20+ years in the wind-sports industry. We know you have a choice of kites and that’s why we have to shine. There is an Ozone difference that you can tell as soon as you fly one. The Ozone team are also accomplished athletes

whom have a more holistic view of the creation process.

We stand proud behind our products providing you with service, support and a promise; to never rest until we’ve made our kites even better! By better we mean that we have listened to your feedback making kites to your satisfaction. The icing on the cake is our manufacturing facility founded in Vietnam by David Pilkington that gives us a quality unique only to Ozone.

A perfect start

EXPANDING THE HORIZONS OF LANDKITING Landboarders get a continuous rush from their first lesson right through to the endless hours of racing across the grass, sand or snow on their mountainboard, buggy, or skis/boards and powersliding to a stylish stop in front of a crowd or mother nature.

There is nothing more exhilarating than harnessing the wind and using your kite to pull you from a standstill to up to 40mph in the blink of an eye; that’s power. It’s the speed and acceleration that have hooked so many people but its the tricks that keep them coming back for more. With more experience you you’ll be able to launch yourself into jumps which feel (and often look) as if you’re floating through the air in slow motion. Combining this with spins, inverts, board-offs and even powered kitesurfing moves landboarders always draw a crowd.

Add the experience of our designer, Robbie Whittall, who is responsible for some of the finest foil kites on the planet since 2001. A lineage that includes the legendary “Little Devil”, “Yakuza”, “Samurai 1”, “Frenzy”, “Access” and the “Manta”, and now Ozone’s new ‘09 “Instinct

Series.” However, it all started with Landkites for Rob whose fascination with foil design has progressed to even more stable kites that are more fun to fly. Even the new Yakuza GT, although packed with award wining power is one that anybody with kite skills can enjoy.

“SInce my first exposure to kites I have worked hard to design intuitive kite control, instilling that into every product for the safest, most insane fun imaginable!”

With the IMP Classic’s 2 Line simplicity and 1m and 1.5m sizes it is easy enough for your child and engaging enough for your hard-to-impress friends; you will never have a dull moment again! There is the perfect match for everyone, boy or girl, young or mature, novice or intermediate.
