Landkite - Ozone

WELCOME TO OUR OZONE WORLD
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.
Test fly or inspect one of our kites to see and feel the
Ozone difference.
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’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!”
Ride on,
from the beginning...
imp 2-line
A perfect start
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.
Sizes: 1 // 1.5m
imp trainer
The ultimate trainer
We all have to start at the beginning and this IMP is
designed to bring out the kitesurfer within all of us due to
its responsive, smooth and stable nature with just enough
power to ensure you will be ready to progress to the next
level. We recommend the 2.5m as the ultimate board trainer.
Sizes: 1.5 // 2.5 // 3.5m
imp quattro
Your first powerkite
Complete freedom and independence for the novice
who wants to progress quickly into land based power
kite sports. Consider developing your skills with a 1m
or 1.5m, or just go for it and make those first runs on a
board or in a buggy with the power of the 2.5m or 3.5m.
Sizes: 1// 1.5 // 2.5 // 3.5m
In a World where Nature rarely provides perfect
conditions the FLOW guarantees there is one
kite you can always rely on.
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.
The FLOW with bar is recommended for land boarding
and snow kiting. It can just as easily be used for
recreational power kiting where the aim is to become
an expert bar flyer before committing to kitesurfing or
snowkiting. Although accessible to novices, particularly
in the smaller 2 and 3m sizes, the flow is a unique kite
that is more than capable of meeting the demands and
capturing the imagination of any seasoned kiter.
The Yakuza is designed for the kiter looking for absolute performance. The original
Yakuza and now the Yakuza GT have been developed by the most diverse and
technically minded team within the kiting industry. Ozone has worked closely with
highly successful buggy racers including World Champions and National Champions
to perfect what has become the benchmark in race kite technology. The design
process on a high aspect kite like the Yakuza GT is very involved. A race kite needs
to perform in a wide variety of conditions, upwind, downwind or any direction you
choose and be able to go as fast as possible whilst maintaining stability and low-end
pull. If you want to be the fastest or feel the need to have the most powerful kite
possible in your quiver then the Yakuza GT is the kite for you.
