2006 Frenzy 10 in very good condition. No rips, tears, or repairs. Bar and lines in very good condition. Bag, manual, repair patches, extra bridle
pieces (everything that came with the kite when new)
The 06 Frenzy was considered one of the good years for Frenzy's. The 10 is the money size and will get you plenty of ride time. Colors are Red,Grey,
and White.
$550

Would you take 500 for the kite?
kiteboard - 24-11-2010 at 09:51 AM
Oh and I am new to kiting and was wondering if this kite would be too much for me to handle?
bobalooie57 - 24-11-2010 at 09:57 AM
Any experience with power kites at all? If no, probably too much kite for
someone with no experience, IMHO. You would launch it, it would launch you, you would then pack it up, if able and sell it ASAP. If you have solid
trainer experience, know the wind window, and how to respect the wind, take it out in only light wind until you get to know it, and weigh 175+, it
could be right for you. Any one else?
vtliter - 24-11-2010 at 10:44 AM
Any 10 meter kite is too much for someone with no kite experience under their belt. While the Frenzy can be very gentle in the right winds it can also
kick your a$$ when the wind picks up.
I echo Babalooie's question about what your experience level is.
B-Roc - 24-11-2010 at 10:44 AM
Agree with bobalooie (and vtliter who posted at the same time as me).
A 10m is a great size for a depower but really not a good size to learn on in any kind of enjoyable manner.
The thing is, this is a great sport but you need to respect the conditions and the power or the kites. If you learn kite control, the wind window,
launching and landing on a smaller, less powerful kite you can progress as your confidence builds. However, if you start on a kite that is a handful
it can be extremely intimidating or down right frightening which will cause you to fly less, potentially get hurt more and progress much slowly
Starting small and working your way up is much better then buying big and downsizing.
Of course if you can get instruction or fly with experienced riders then a 10m may be OK if you start out in low winds until you gain confidence.
tridude - 24-11-2010 at 12:48 PM
nice kite VTL.............are you the original owner and why selling?
kiteboard - 24-11-2010 at 12:48 PM
i have only launched and landed an apex 7.5 so yeah I do not have very much experience at all. thanks for the help guys! do any of you happen to have
a used smaller kite that you would be willing to sell? i haven't really seen vary many in the 7m range on the forum.
vtliter - 24-11-2010 at 01:36 PM
Not the original owner. I bought from someone who used it very lightly as they were intimidated by it. I'm selling because I spend alot of time on the
water (originally only snowkited and buggied) and I want to get a Flysurfer Pulse to replace this kite.
It is in mint shape and is an excellent kite

This year of the Frenzy is a great year as far as construction goes, but as I recall this model doesn't have quite as much depower as a newer one,
correct?
Great kite, great deal, someone jump on it! (Well, someone with experience.)
vtliter - 24-11-2010 at 03:27 PM
The depower is not far off from the Frenzy's up to 2010 from my experience. I haven't flown the 2011 with the new bar, so I can't comment on the
latest version.
I found the 06 to be an all around rock solid kite, I thought it was the year they got it right having owned all the previous versions.
Seanny - 24-11-2010 at 03:52 PM
Kiteboard, it would be a good idea to start smaller and learn the essentials (like what B-Roc said) before moving to a large depower kite, or even a
7m kite in general. Throw around a small fixed-bridle foil (like 3.5 or 4m) and really get the hang of it. Trust me, there is NO shame in buying a
small kite and practicing with it... we all did it. Plus, once you're ready to buy more kites, hang onto it! It will probably be your high-wind kite
if you decide to move on to traction activities. Here, read through this for some ideas on great starting kites.

Good luck!! :D Sorry for hijacking the thread, by the way. :roll:

Good seller!
Wish I had the $$ to buy this, I'd love to own an Ozone eventually...
vtliter - 25-11-2010 at 05:15 AM
Thanks for the kudos Inverted!
The snow's comin' folks. Be ready for it!
Happy Thanksgiving to all
rocfighter - 25-11-2010 at 05:30 AM
Is this a good buggy engine? I found a few videos of the 06 10m and all seem to be ATB or jumping videos. I'm not looking to launch just be pulled.
I'm sure it is all about bar control and knowage. But what is the lift aspect of this kite?
vtliter - 25-11-2010 at 06:19 AM
The Frenzy is a great ATB engine and is also works great in a bug. I still prefer fixed bridles when buggying. It won't launch you unless you command
it to!
I actually don't find this Frenzy to be lifty. I have a 6 meter Access that is more prone to launching me when I gybe than the Frenzy. (even though
the Access is defined as a "non lifty" kite.)
aronma - 25-11-2010 at 10:40 AM
vtliter, Is this kite still for sale? If so, were you able to upload any other pics? I'm looking for my first depowerable and plan to use it on
the snow and buggy.
Thanks.
vtliter - 25-11-2010 at 05:17 PM
I have more pics that i can email. I`m up in Canada for a few days and won`t be able to send them until we`re back in the States Saturday.
Send me a U2U with your email and I`ll get the pics to you sometime Saturday afternoon.

So, Lots of interest but no follow through. I'll see if I can help with that as I'm looking to get my first Flysurfer as its replacement.

Snowkiting?
Vantage - 2-12-2010 at 10:14 AM
Did you ever take this out in the snow? I weigh ~180lbs and I wanted to know if it would be strong enough to get me going on soft snow. I have used
other 10m kites on grass with great success, but snow... uncharted territory for me...
bobalooie57 - 2-12-2010 at 10:21 AM
I think this kite would be an excellent snowkite, and would be all over it if funds allowed! Plenty o power for you at 180#!
vtliter - 2-12-2010 at 10:23 AM
I've used it almost exclusively in the snow. You need less power to get moving on snow then on the grass. I primarily snowboard when snowkiting unless
the surface is bulletproof and then I go to the skis.
vtliter - 3-12-2010 at 08:20 PM
It's snowing all over the US folks. This kite has somebody's name on it.
vtliter - 30-12-2010 at 10:03 AM
So Christmas has come and gone. I was hoping to find a Flysurfer under the tree from Santa-me, but it didn't happen because the Frenzy is still here.
I had it all packed up and ready for shipping, but we've had wind, snow and frozen water so out it came. If this kite was closed cell I wouldn't be
selling it.
So, who's gonna follow up on their New Years resolution to get a Frenzy and go out and have fun!?
(Best wishes to all for a windy and safe New Year!)
Ozone Frenzy
flowerdust - 2-1-2011 at 06:01 PM
Hi,
Happy New Year,
We are interested in your Ozone Frenzy kite with bar/bag etc. Is it still available and would you accept $500?
We are near Ottawa, Canada, in Gatineau. Where are you located in regards to shipping?
Christina
snow keeps melting here, but we have hope!
ikemiester - 3-1-2011 at 06:06 PM
Great kite great year. I own the 12 and my only complaint is there is a secondary pulley which a small line goes thru. They frey and breaks ~ every
50 hours of flying time. Other than that... PEOPLE WHAT ARE YOU THINKING BUY THIS KITE!
happy new year
tridude - 6-1-2011 at 05:33 PM
wonder how well this one flies on water? Nice kite for sure!
vtliter - 6-1-2011 at 07:41 PM
Looks like the kite is heading to Gatineau to a happy Canadian kiting couple!
vtliter - 7-1-2011 at 04:10 AM
The kite is heading to Gatineau Canada to a happy kiting couple.
Tri- not sure about the Frenzy on water, but your video of the Montana had me thinking. Knowing the pull of this kite you'd need 15+ to get up and
planing.
looking for small OZONE
flowerdust - 7-1-2011 at 05:30 AM
Hi,
I'm 135 lbs, anyone interested in selling their small ozones. I'm hoping an 8m Access or 7m Frenzy will get me up on my snowboard in 15-20km winds.
What do you think?
Christina
Thank you for the great deal on the Frenzy
flowerdust - 19-1-2011 at 07:19 AM
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for meeting us in Montreal and spending time giving us tips. Really appreciated! Robert loves the new kite. Couldn't believe the flawless
condition it was in! As a beginner, he is being very cautious....he took it out in super low winds and loved it!
Thank you
vtliter - 19-1-2011 at 07:59 PM
Great to hear he's been out with it. Good to start in the low winds, but trust me you'll both be jonesing for stronger winds before you know it!
I'm hoping to get up there again so we can all go out and fly together. Call me anytime if you have more questions.
Be safe and have fun!!
