hi guys so after lots of backwarding and forwarding pissing everybody on this forum off ive finally decided on the ozone imp quattro just one last
question remains how much wind could the 3.5m handle i was looking at the 2.5m aswell just thinking biigger kite more power but apparently the smaller
one can handle stronger winds than the big one is this true? just wonderd. i mean im not planning on getting the 3.5m this is just purly out of
curiosity i only need a 2.5 for recreational just incase i ever wanna get into land boarding so i dont have to buy another kite and nip everyones head
again :tumble:

Yes a smaller kite can handle stronger winds and they can go faster but for land boarding your probably going to need a diffrent kind of kite most
ozone landboarders use a depower not a fixed bridle a imp quattro is good for learning the basics and starting out in a buggy. My friend got the 4.5
when they made it and we can hardly buggy with it. Just because it is so slow in the air. Another guy I fly with bought an imp quattro 2 meter just to
teach people to fly on. Just remmber the larger the kite the slower it usually is and less responsive it is.

rossb - in case you are interested, I am selling my 3m Ozone Flow. 4 line kite with new lines and handles. GREAT to learn the basics on and I weigh
135 lbs so great to go out in 8-12 to first start out. Good looking piece of kit as well.
Best of luck - once you fly, you and your wallet will be addicted!

Yep, 3m Flow is a nice kite. I run one on a turbo bar for the buggy and have had some great sessions on it. Nice to static/recreational fly too.
As for how much wind can they handle - it's more how much power you can hold. I swap down in size when I either can't keep my footing or the buggy is
going too much sideways. I always give up before the kite does!!

Agreed the flows rule love the 5 meter.
