Ozone Frenzy

I now have a few nice long sessions with a new 05 in various wind condition .This is what I think of it.

In around 15 mph wind this thing is so fun to fly. No need to depower using the trimmer because the bar does enough. Iwas very impressed with the speed and maneuverability. Power delivery is smooth and predictable and even in light wind you can wring some juice out of the thing.

Safety features are simple to use and behavior when the re-ride is activated is predictable. The Frenzy 05 is setup for a leash but it does not come with one. This attaches to the hand brake and would work fine if you care to use one. The chicken loop also has a pin and loop system that I have yet to deploy. Reverse launch is done by pulling the handbrake and the kite rises ,turns then settles to the ground ready to take off again.

Launching is done from center window or the edge ,full depower with very little effort. Depower off and you will get a good scud out of it. I use this kite for kiteboarding on a Ground Industries Flight deck and the combo is great. A lot of confidence from both pieces so jumps and carving slides come ez. Air time is long and seems like you can go as high as you want, redirect late and still have a good canopy to land softly.

Ozone has a great reputation for quality. This new Frenzy is up to par with that and initial setup and safety are well described in the included manual. Comes with a large bag with cool straps and buckles. The kite fits in it easily no matter if you fold carefully or wad it up.

I fly on the coast so wind is steady but ventured to a gusty spot where the wind was blowing across the island and the kite behaved o.k. but the smooth wind was defiantly better .I have flown this from 8-17 mph don't really know how much wind I will fly it in but not close to topping out yet .I weigh 200#.

I give this kite 9 out of 10 points for handling and performance

Have fun, Rick
