great article about the kite...now I am thinking of buying a ozone... thanks

My 11m Edge is for me near kite perfection. there is not one area that i could or would want to change, i mean to have a kite that does practically what you want just by thinking it. without much effort or input... is amazing... thats why i had no hesitation in getting a 17m but after reading the feed back that these guys kindly shared.... it turned into a 19.... i dont know you guys, but i must trust you in what you say. i cant wait to find out for myself hopefully this weekend when i can pump her up ill post a pic of my black beauty

Had the 19 Edge out the other day w Nugget. Gust up to 20. No worries. Rode a lot of Waves. Can't believe how easy this Kite is to steer w one hand on bar.

So could not wait any longer. omg she is huge a bit intimidating...

that kites MASSIVE wow

Great colour design man...

Trust me it is nimble and quick for a big kite and steady as. You will be fine.

Ok so I got her up, wind was 15mph gusting 18 mph. Must admit I was hoping she handled like an Edge, people were looking at me like what the hell are you doing using that. But soon as she was up all my worries were over, She just sat in the sky twitching at the gusts.
I was using a 134 su2 TT. Obviously notice the size of her in handling but she turns well. Wind picked up and was gusting over 20 no problems at all she could take more without any dramas. A few nice jumps once dialed in the timing, mate on beach counted to 10 on one nice floaty one. That was the only real problem...... Having to work so far back up wind after jumping lol it's just sick.....
Cant wait to try it on my race board in light winds.. ill let you know...

ah shiiiiiiiiit,
now you guys have me thinking about getting 19m Edge.

just when i thought i was happy with my quiver too.

damn you all

Lol well i took the shadow maker out again yesterday eve, it was blowing 18-22mph...... normally i would pick up my 11m Edge or 13m 2010 waroo. people were using from 8m -13m and were going well, after my first outing i knew she could take it well and the wind was forecast to drop.
Nuts i thought she is coming out, after some funny looks and me reassuring people i have not lost my mind. i launched.... bearing in mind no one has ever seen a kite of this size and looking sweetly menacing i can understand there concern.

Us lucky 19m owners surely do have a secret weapon in our arsenals. i still cant believe how much fun i had out there riding till it was dark, last back to the beach. had my best new trick session ever cracking back roll transitions and double back rolls, man this thing stays in the sky once you have left mother earth..... jumping sand bars, tail grabs all sorts of cool stuff was happening. I LOVE THIS KITE.....

I have not relaunched this kite yet and hope i dont need to as i dont want to get her wet. i was using 27m lines on a race bar depower system which is so sweet. especially cranking it down wind fully lit throwing out 6' rooster tails, pull depower lose some pull and carve it 45deg up wind on the run out.

like said before you will 110% be blown away with out being blown away with this kite...... TOTALY. Well done again Ozone

Might have some vid from my mates gopro3 i hope ill post link if he has

loving my edges
had them all out now...all just superb ..

what bar is that your flying the 19m with ?

this is my custom colour 9m...

Hey guys how are you? Just over from Kitefourm first time here nice place!

I was hopping to fire this thread back up and get some info.

I'm 80k ride a 128/40 FR (flysurfer)

I've had a ton of kites and live in Brazil. I'm just changing out my north quiver (11m - 14m Rebels and 16m Dyno).

Moved to Ozone 11m - 15m Edge two weeks ago.

I'm a power-coholic. I fly the 11m only when its around 30kns.

I main kite is the 16m Dyno I've had this out in 20kns (I find the sweat spot 18-22kns to really get the hight and hang out of the kite) Problem is I'm not at all happy with the hang of the 16m dyno.

As I now have a 15m Edge that hangs longer and jumps higher then the 16m Dyno I'm looking at what kite to get for my large kite (that's kind of funny). For me the 17m is really to close to my 15m. I'm really liking the sounds of the 19m Edge. Ideally I would like to be able to fly the 19m upto 20kns then move to the 15m.

Can you guys tell me if you think its possible at 80k and a 128 board to easily hold the 19m upto 20kns? I have a ton of big kite experience right now the 15m edge in 20-27kns is just the cats ass! wow what a kite.

I've also converted the Ozone's to the North bar. I can not kite without a mirco loop.

cheers hope you can help (.02" from buying a 19m)

Go and see Jason from Westoz in safety's bay or Darren and Todd at action sports in Scarborough.

Sorry guys needed to update my profile. I'm in Brazil now and need all the input I can get as they don't even have a dealer for Brazil let alone Vitoria where I live.

You guys seem to be the only ones with these kites.

Or the only ones will to review/talk about them.... lol

Or the only ones with enough balls to fly them...

I know the edges I have the 11-15m now. I just need some ideas about the 19m.

Cheers

Is that you Toby?

Please if you can give me some detail. What is your weight what do you think the top end is etc.

lol no its not Toby but I'm big into air style and can do allot of the tricks lol. But I must say Toby has really taken his game to the next level (Good on him)

I live in Brazil Vitoria ES

I really need some input from you guys. I think I will be able to hold the kite upto 18-20kn. I had the 15m Edge in 25kns last week full power. I was a little worried as this was my first time out after converting the bar to North and Mirco loop. I would have like to test the kite out with a little less power but everything worked really well. I really like the Ozone bar so I will drill it and add the loop and replace the North bar (need to buy 6mm and 8mm bits to get this done)

Dusta also as the kite has a smaller leading edge whats it like to pump?

I see back in the post some guys are around 90-95k holding the kite past 20kns This gives me great hope. I can hold my 16m into mid 20ks too, but it becomes a bit of a mess as the kite starts to deform.

I must say I as amazed at how the 15m edge acted in 25kns. It holds the power with ease, I seen the top of an RRD that day lol.
