Hi guys,
I would like to know if i could use my 2008 depower Ozone Frenzy 9m on water... because im going to LA this summer and wanted to continue kiteboarding
and i dont want to spend more money on LEI as i have already 2 depower kites... so i wanted to know if it would work? if it would be able to pull me
and incase it falls in the water (rare for me to drop the kite) would i be able to relaunch it or would it be impossible??
would greatly appreciate an input,
Thanks!!!
p.s. its an open cell kite

Sure it will work if there is enough wind. Is it practical, NO.
I flew a Gin Eskimo open cell foil on the water for a few minutes once for giggles. In waist deep water/onshore wind so not much to worry about. If
the kite falls you're done and you WILL be swimming in with a big wet heap. Buy or rent a dedicated water kite, LEI inflato or closed cell foil, and
have no worries.
