Hi People
I've been flying now for a 3-4 months with a Beamer II 3.6m.
Looking for something with some lift and a bit weary of the Blade's aggression price so was thinking a Ozone Riot 7m.
I weigh in at about 14st (200lbs).
Good idea?
Can it be depowered?
Any help appreciated.

Anyone?

The Riot is an awesome kite, you should be very happy with it. Jumping from a 3.6 to a 7.0 may be a little much but shouldn't have to much of a hole
in the range.
The Riot is not a true depowerable kite but like any fixed bridle foil you can add on an aftermarket system to give the kite some depower. This will
still not match a true depowerable such as the Frenzy or Montana.
Hope that helps.

Consider a Crossfire , like the 5.0 or 6.3 m. They are lifty but as agressive nor expensive as a Blade.

So now looking at a Crossfire 6.3 or a Blade 6.6
Good Idea or lunacy?

GREAT IDEA, both of them :!:
If the blade comes at a good price. Don't be too afraid of it. Reasonable respect and you wil LOVE it !

The Blade went for silly money in the end and I've ended up with a 5m Riot

Good choice, it should keep you smiling for years to come.
