Really glad I got hold of this trainer kite which has helped me practise when the wind wasn't quite right for getting on the water. The bar comes with a chicken loop and final eject, just like the real deal. Self launching is simple, place the kite upside down on the ground with the leading edge downwind, give the lines a pull and you're away! The depower bar isn't quite the same as a full kite but definitely simulates the increase in pull.
Fabulous product , Great service from Adam @Northern Kites
It's more comfortable to wear compared to a hard-shell helmet. I hardly notice it is there. You get much less water running into your eyes after you fall in which is a bonus. Also, I've used it in the rain; the brim is just big enough to keep some of it off your face so that you can still see where you're going.
A great rear stab stable, but easy to turn.
I got a great deal on this kite. A 10% first time buyer discount plus a free hand leash, all with free delivery.
The kite arrived promptly minus the free hand leash. After a couple of messages the hand leash was duly posted out with no problems.
This kite flies like a dream. The video attached shows me flying the kite in 7-8mph winds. I’ve also flown in 15mph winds but this needed more concentration and if you aren’t focusing 100% then you could get uprooted! I would definitely recommend this kite from this company.
Leash is great. Fast delivery, great communication. Thanks
Excellent fit, really easy to get on and off, very warm and made from recycled products.
Grate turn around and just intime for the wind 80)
I feel sorry for anyone who hasn’t tried a Vortex. The 9m gets going like an 11m in light winds but fast as a 8m. Wind range is insane when you’re pushing its limits. Boosting is smooth and big, drifts and fires upwind instantly. Hats off to Ozone for this one! Thanks for the demo kite available in the shop 🫶🏼🤙🏽
and i got an extra one as courtesy given the original order was sent to someone else :)
Recently bought some wingfoil board footstraps from Northern Watersports. Super helpful, knowledgable advice and prompt delivery. Very happy to recommend. Many thanks!
Absolutely love this Neo hoodie. Keeps the wind and cold off you totally between sessions or even wear it on a chilli session. Should have got one ages ago. 👌🏼👌🏼 cheers NK
Go rid of my old vest and replaced with the Ion. It’s just the right thickness for kiting. My old one was too thick and rode up my chest. Spot on! 🫶🏼🤩
