Yep, it's been a big year for game changers, but this has got to be it surely?
Such an improvement over the standard kite pump we've been using for years. I reckon you'd expend more energy inflating your kite with an electric pump, compared to this one. Not sure what other brands have move to this kinda design, but jeez it's good.

Exactly same as the north pump, tried one a few months ago.

Dont get the waste of money for gauge, pretty obvious when pumped up enough, keep it simple and drop the price.

Was going to buy one but local kite shop had no stock so i just bought a no frills pump for $10 from camping store, works perfectly

I've tried the new valves + new pump on the North and the Core now. They are just epic.
I can't believe we've wasted our lives with that old crap.
I pumped up a 10m rebel today in like 20 seconds.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSTTTTTT!!!!!

Something to do with the pump supercharging the ions in the air going into the kite...? Drift improvement is vast.

And Ocean Rodeo, Flysurfer, and...it's just the new model.

WMFG does the tall version too which is easy on the back. And it still has the valve to switch it to single action so you can easily get over 10 psi in your kite and commence arguing to get a new one.

Compared to the old pumps that have been coming out for years, this new one has more capacity, a bit taller stroke, hand grips that feel like a bike and some super low friction internal trickery. Turn the pump upside down and the handle fully extends! This used to mean flogged out seals with the old pumps. Such a game changer.

someone who looks into things more might explain got no idea.

But actually pumping is relatively effortless, for a minute I was wondering how it was actually pumping up my kite to 8.5psi.

But it did. So good.

Been using the North model which looks to be identical for a while and its definitely good, few of the crew are using this new baby and trying it out the other day I was surprised, definitely another step up.

I like to get the heart going while pumping up the kite. Bit of a warm up.

I feel like he meant the 'normal' pumps that have been supplied with most kites for the past 10 years now...
Looks like Ocean Rodeo has copied the Ozone design...

Really are you that naive, do you believe that ozone design and manufacture there own pumps
They get them from a anouther third party pump manufacturer with there own logo printed on it just like Core, North, OR and all other kite company's
I think it time you change you log in, like your sponsor Terry McFool, to reflect you what you do.
May I suggest Surfingozonepimpboye

Haha, sorry mate. I tried to make that an obvious throw-away comment - even added a little devil man. Nah, like I said in the top post, I'm sure there are other brands with the same pumps. Hopefully my comment didn't wreck your night...

WMFG has licensed the pumps out to all the Kite companies. They developed the pump, Great way to make money. I've had one for awhile, bought it of there website.

Cheers Leo. Surprised I didn't see you out on the weekend. Have to catch up for a kite soon. That wave would be a dream on your forehand.
