go ahead ozone make very good LEI like their foils.

I currently own an Ozone sport+ 11m 2009, and it's a great kite. ozone is top quality. I really like the simplicity and efficiency of the ozone bar. very nice.

most ozone LEI produce virtually no bar pressure. the 2009 just a bit more than previous years, which is good.

direct lines attachments, no pulleys, direct feeling. that's how I like it.

I have also tried the Edge in 13m size. The Edge is the freeride version (high aspect) with 7 struts. It turns slower but it's has much more low end, race and upwind ability, with big hangtime

IMO the edge 11m would be roughly equivalent to a 12m, 13m kite for other LEI brands/models.

I saw the Edge 2010 13m (which is even more high aspect this year) in the shop the other day next to the Zephyr 17m. There are almost the same span.
