"Requesting a demo" from Ozone...?
I noticed that Ozone apparently offers a kite demo service on their site. This page allows one to fill in details and request a demo. I'm just wondering what happens after that? Does Ozone simply ship kites to the
specified address for the user to try out for free? Or does it only apply to officially scheduled events such as DBBB or NABX?

I think they send you to people like me. I've got a couple demo kites coming in. I will be scheduling a local fly here and letting people try them
out. If I want, i can buy them there or pay myself to send them back so they will send them to the next person.
So... coming to Dallas anytime soon?

Ozone has forwarded people to us. Also we can coordinate with Ozone to organize demo day on a specific date at a specific location.
I don't believe they'll ship a demo out to a consumer for free. Not without taking a deposit for the cost of the kite in the event you fail to return
it.
We offer demos for people to try before they buy where we charge a fee for the demo and that fee is applied to the purchase of whichever kite the
client settles on.
Like the ski and bike industry, the kite industry should have demo centers or demo/representative schools. I wouldn't buy a bike or ski without a
demo. A kite shouldn't be any different in our opinion.:D

sounds like a reference point to dealers cloest to you. but they did get intel on you for registering.
i can not see them just ship it to you...the demo implies a representative with the kites, be present and you demonstrate ,to them, competent
handling, for whatever purpose. if these wasn't the case the kites they sent out, IF they got returned, would be busted no doubt, or if not just a
ball of mess!
