Wow, that is a good looking kite! I guess I will be saving my pennies for a 2.3m or 3m instead of a Flow... I could probably use a 6.5m as well...
yeah I definitely need a 6.5m :evil:

Also, did anyone notice that the Yellow and Red (assuming 3m) is the only one where the Ozone label isn't colored white? Photoshop error or design
difference?  |

So is the Method replacing the Flow or does it sit between the Flow and Yakuza GT?

Fits between the Flow and the Yak GT. Higher aspect ratio than the Flow, but much more tame than the GT.

It sits between the Flow and the Yakuza.... for someone that wants something with a higher aspect ratio and racier than the Flow... but who can't
justify putting dependents on half-rations to spring for the YGT.

Man I love Ozone kites! So it sounds like the Method might be really similar to the PL Reactor 2's and I just love my 10.8....Can anyone comment on
their similarities/differences? If you've flown both, which one do you like better?

Method's aren't as powerful as the PL Reactor. The 4m Method really needs 14 knots + for buggying. The 6.5m flys well from about 7 knots to 14 knots
- after that I'm going a bit too much sideways. They are a very friendly, stable kite that are easy and forgiving to fly. My 6.5m is not quite as
fast as a 5.6 PL Twister. A bit like a Blade V that's had a sedative!!! Some people have said that the Method is almost as fast as a race kite -
they are not. Nothing like a race kite. But certainly faster than low aspect kites like Flows, Imps, Beamers, Hornets etc.
I once tried the 4.4m Reactor II on the turbo bar but it doesn't like being steered on it's brake lines. The Method will fly well on the bar.
