Ozone Pure snowkite - any thoughts?

jaymzmn - 26-8-2011 at 03:11 PM

I have noticed there is not much info out there (apart from Ozones description).

Cannot find a video anywhere of anyone flying the Ozone Pure snowkite...

Anyone heard anything about these?

FB kite on non-turbo bar.....really appears to be not terribly different than the flow.

Deja Vu?

OZONE PURE SNOWKITE

Were there questions you had that didn't get answered in that thread?

The included harness is like an Access Base harness without the leg straps.... and less padding.

Two years ago at the Tug Hill snowkite festival, Patrick Nedele, a team rider for Ozone, had some with him, and I believe he sold one to a guy (maybe 150ish#) that had down hill ski experience, but no kite experience. It was essentially a 4M 3-line kite on a bar with a wrist strap safety to the brakes, and a chicken loop that hooked to a basic waist harness via a web strap. IIRC the guy was making runs within an hour of getting it, working the kite pretty good in about 15ish wind. Snowkite in a box I think was their selling point, seemed very basic, but built to Ozone specs. I don't know if they sold many, though, not sure what they sold for.

Was feeling the deja vu, thanks Indigo!

ADMIN -> might as well delete this thread...

I'm going to open this thread again, since my question is very related: does anyone have the DVD that comes with the Pure, and can you share it on youtube or vimeo or something similar? I'm really interested in seeing the thing in action. Aside from the movie linked above here, there seems to be very few video online about it, and virtually no footage of the kite actually being flown.

Without pounding the IP/copyright infringement gavel too loudly... making the request on PKF (open forum) places Bob in a bit of an awkward position.

For whatever reason, the Pure is Ozone's own little redheaded stepchild. It's on there website... a little more information was provided in the second year rather than the initial release year.

The most comprehensive video floating around on Youtube is the one done by Jeff Howard, and that's only a indoor product walkthrough:



I just sent off an email Iain Hannay at Ozone to see if they have any video kicking that they just haven't gotten around to posting. Will let you know if he finds anything.

I've spoken to OzoneUSA (distributor this side of the ocean) and the dude said he will try and get some info - I've confirmed with him that the instructional dvd does have footage of it in action, but he said he cannot rip it.

On another note, I think I'm just going to buy one anyways so I'll keep you guys updated.

Cheers

Got this back from Ozone:

Hi James,

Initially we produced the DVD which comes with the package showing the basics, but it is a good point and we will look into doing a product promo video.

Cheers

Thanks for the info! I'll keep an eye on their site then.
