At Ozone, a quality design results in a kite that handles as well as possible, combined with the highest level of performance and safety.

This is a simple issue, when Ozone chooses materials, they base their decision solely upon the fact that the materials they use is the best available for the job.

All Ozone kites are manufactured in their own facility.   Ozone has total control over every aspect of the manufacturing process, and each kite is fully inflated and inspected to certified paragliding standards before leaving their DHV-approved factory.

Ozone Kites undergo thousands of hours of development,from CAD design through to riding in extremes, at -40 0 C in Norway to the baking heat and sand blasts of Chile.

Aerodynamics tells us that the leading edge and the trailing edge are the two most critical lines in an aerofoil section.   Ozone kites are Mylar taped on the leading edge, giving a more rigid structure, a clean and efficient aerofoil, and absolutely zero stretching.   The Mylar tape effectively locks the sail shape, meaning your kite keeps it’s factory trim. For the trailing edge Ozone rolls the seam twice and stitches to give a soft and clean exit for the airflow.

Ozone kites are double-needle stitched, which is stronger and more durable than single line stitching in the event of the kite being dragged over rough ground.   Even the thread used for stitching the lines and sail is UV-bonded, further adding to the strength and life-span of our kites.   Every seam is checked to within 0.5 mm; a look at the colour-scheme accuracy and the inside of the seams of Ozone kites will highlight this fact.   Just remember that only a 1mm error on a cell in a kite with 30 cells leads to an overall error of 3cm, this can make a marked difference to a kites handling, performance and safety!

Tested to 300/300kg, Ozone’s heat-treated Edelrid Dyneema SK75 lines ensure stretch resistance, a high thermal tolerance and durability for all kites.   Lines are cut, pre-stretched, sleeved and stitched to ensure 100% accuracy.   The lines are final load tested to 60% of their breaking strain to “lock” the line and as a final production check.   The ‘kook-proof’ colour-coded and labeled line connection system makes set-up safer and completely stress-free for riders new to kiting.

Ozone's aim when designing the bridle lines is to use the least amount of line possible, to minimise parasitic drag through the air, resulting in a higher performance kite.   Kite design has advanced to the point where the accuracy and diameter of the line lengths is vitally important.   To achieve this accuracy, Ozone uses the highest quality Dyneema lines which are stitch finished for extra strength and less drag.

Ozone attachment tabs are sewn deep into the reinforcement area of the ribs, which means that the load is spread over a larger area of material, thus reducing any stretching and ageing of the cloth.

Ozone has been leading the industry since launching the original Frenzy in 2002, the Worlds 1st open celled de-powered foil.   Since then Ozone has been at the forefront of the snowkite revolution with the world’s best designers and riders ensuring they stay committed to the safe and enjoyable development of the snowkite World.

In 2005 Ozone released the Frenzy05 with the 1st leash-less re-ride safety system release.   This meant that riders did not need a leash to stay connected to the kite in a emergency.   The easy yo grab handle that is just as easy to re-connect allows you to land your kite with ease.   In a emergency you can feel 100% confident that you can rapidly stall the kite when you need to.   The fact that you have no leash means you can spin as many times as you like without any hassle or tangles.   This awesome innovation to the kiting industry has now been copied and added to nearly every other snowkite on the market.   Ozone is proud to be the innovator of this system and has just raised the standards once again with the all new '08 control bar system featuring the all new "Megatron Chickenloop".   Ozone is sure that the rest of the kiting world will once again copy this system in the years to come...but you don't have to wait that long because Ozone brings it to you today on the Frenzy FX.

One other very important but often overlooked difference with the Ozone bar systems is the build and material quality.   Ozone uses only the finest Amsteel spectra leaders, speed systems and the best pulleys available to ensure that your safety is not compromised and we manufacture to the same certified paragliding standards at our own factory.   No compromise for your safety.   This is something that the "copy-cats" in the industry fall short on and why the Frenzy is still the market leader year after year.
