Amazing high wind kite, smaller rider kite or trainer. Ozone ReRide equipped so uses a dedicated 5th line safety. If you already have other kites
from Ozone that use this system (Frenzy, Summit, Larger Access kites) this kite will work with those bars without any issues.
This kite will literally change what you consider "high winds". A lot less missed days due to too much wind.
Kite is in mint condition.
See our review which covers some of what the Access can do. The pics in the review are of the actual kite.
Do you have a bar you could include and if so, for how muchFeyd - 27-3-2017 at 05:44 AM
I was hoping to keep the bar to convert it to a race bar. But if you are interested in the 4m RTF, $710 shipped. Memopad - 27-3-2017 at 07:08 AM
Never thought I'd want something smaller than the 6m Access, but I could've used the 4m a couple of times this season. Very tempting :D
Is this the 2015 or 2016 version? I think the only difference was the addition of metal washers for the re-ride system on the kite, something I'm sure
you would've added to the 2015 anyway.Feyd - 27-3-2017 at 08:02 AM
This is the 1015/16 V6 version (V7 2017 came out this season) and has the upgraded Re-Ride. Would pass for brand new if I didn't tell anyone it was
used. I like riding the 4m in the nasty stuff. I found myself riding the 4m almost as much this season as the 6m in favor of being slightly under
pow'd and working the kite a bit and then just enjoying the heck out of the higher gusts vs. the 6m and having to trim it in the gusts. Both kites
work well in high winds but the 4m is the apex predator in the uber high wind options. And it's easy to sine and build power with when under pow'd.
Molly was out the other day in 20kts working the heck out of one of our school 4m Accesses. I thought it was an odd choice but she wanted to see if
she could ride with it in by working it. SHe rode fine, was able to cruise and even climb with it while I was in the same winds on a 9m Chrono. She
was able to keep up, go everywhere everyone else went and did just fine. Just illustrated that sometimes we aren't under powered but under skilled or
under motivated. :P
The only time she suffered was trying to get upwind. She worked a lot harder to get up wind. :DFeyd - 27-3-2017 at 08:12 AM
In terms of day savers, it is the extreme other end of the spectrum from your 18m Chrono Memo. :D You'd never fly the 3.5 Apex again. Memopad - 27-3-2017 at 12:05 PM

I picked up the 6m Access to be the opposite end of the spectrum, but it's kind of let me down the couple of times I've needed it as a high wind kite.
I'm still new to all this, but right now I really don't like being over powered, and in 30-40mph the 6m access is definitely over powered for me :D I
think the 4m would actually let me enjoy those days a little more. And here I thought my kite buying days were over
I sold the apex 5.5m and need to dump the 7.5m as well :evil:Feyd - 28-3-2017 at 07:36 AM
As versatile as the 6m is, and as great a high wind kite as it is, the 4m is going to be more forgiving when things get really rowdy. Like in
conditions where you are in full trim, bar out and kite high in the window just to maintain some level of control. :P Especially when your surface
conditions are firm or boiler plate.
The 4m would make those situations less "survival mode" and turn them into fun sessions. Feyd - 28-3-2017 at 11:51 AM
