HQ Neo Closed Cell !!
I have had to sit on this for a while, but it has been outed here...
Former Ozone designer Tom Bordeau has joined HQ and designed HQ's new closed cell, water relaunchable foil.
More product information will be available Monday. Kite is due to arrive in the States in July.
No pricing yet, but it can't be as much as a Flysurfer!

Looks good. I love to demo one.
Is Tom Bordeaux a designer of Ozone Vision? Is that (him leaving Ozone) why Ozone couldn't release Vision this year?

Whow, now that is exciting news!
I've been wanting to fly the Vision ever since I first got word of it. I was bummed to say the least when I heard that Ozone wasn't happy with the
Vision and the product would be delayed.
I was saving some money to buy a Waroo or upgrade my Venom 2 19 to a Synergy, now I think I will hold off and wait until the HQ comes out.
Can't wait to hear more news on Monday and see some prices.

Hey guys,
Just to let you know. The name will be or is NEO not NEON. All infos Angus stated are correct. As soon as we get final infos, we will post it on
our website and distribute it through this group too.
Thanks and sit tight.
Later
Tim

Thank goodness. I didn't like neon. Sounded kinda cheesy and 90's. Neo is fine though. All the stuff that goes into putting a kite like that to
market and you still have to come up with the perfect name. Tough job.

PLEASE send a Demo to Airtime board sports in VAN. !
Maybe I'm over simplifying things but I always wondered why Ozone never just put directional valves and a zipper into a Frenzy ? Would that not work
??? :duh:
