our design team to perfect and develop kites that we love to ride with. We
are proud of the quality of our products, and are constantly searching for
the best components and materials to use in our designs. All of our kites
and accessories are manufactured in our own high-quality production
facility in Vietnam, which guarantees a build quality that we are proud to
put the Ozone name on.
A close look at one of our kites reveals that same superior quality and
construction that ensures that every Ozone kite will enjoy a long life, with
consistent handling, performance and aesthetics. To view the factory video

Kitesurng like all dynamic action sports carries inherent risks but with
common sense and education from qualied Kitesurng instructors means
you can easily enjoy this incredible sport. Accidents generally happen
due to a lack of experience, launching from dangerous spots, changing
weather conditions or from using a kite that is to big for the rider’s ability
or wind speed. Please take the time to learn safely and you will progress
far quicker with qualied instruction.

• Never use this product without a safety leash system. A loose kite is extremely dangerous to everyone
downwind.
• The kite/control system is equipped with passive Release Systems, which need to be activated by the
user for them to work.
• The leash system is not a permanent attachment to this product. Never permanently attach yourself to
the kite or any of its components.
• Never use this the kite with another control system or safety leash. Only use the handles or bar that is
supplied with this kite as other brands bars are not compatible with this design, therefore the Release
System will NOT work.
• Always wear a helmet, knee/elbow pads, gloves, shoes and protective eyewear when using this product.
• Always use a high quality and well maintained kite specic harness.
• Get yourself used to the way your quick release devices work by testing them often in a non emergency
situation.
• Rinse your quick release device in fresh water after every session. Quick release devices have a limited
lifetime and must be checked and replaced often.
• Always release and re-load all the Release Systems to familiarize yourself with how they work. This is the
only way to be sure that you know how to use them in all situations, and that they are correctly loaded
and safe for use.
• If you have a bar with a mechanical quick release trim loop it must be changed after 250hours of kiting.
Change any quick release or safety leash before if you see any sign of wear. The wearing of your quick
release devices is not considered a warranty issue.
• Never act in a careless manner when using this product (such as jumping in the air, using this kite to y
or tying yourself down to a xed object whilst attached to the kite).
CHOOSE SAFE WEATHER CONDITIONS:
• Never learn to use this product in more than 10 knots of wind.

warnings

USE CAUTION WITH FLYING LINES:
• Never touch the ying lines when the kite is in use. Flying lines are extremely dangerous while under
tension and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never use this product with worn lines. A line that breaks while under tension can cause serious injury
or death.
• Always check your ying lines for knots before each use. Knots greatly reduce the strength of the lines.
• Stay away from tangled ying lines unless the kite is secured to the ground. An unsecured kite can self
launch unexpectedly, and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never allow yourself, or anyone else, to get between the handles/control bar and the kite when using
this product.

• Do not y your kite over other people or pets. Spectators should remain upwind of you when using this
product.
• Never use this product on crowded beaches or elds.
• Never use this product near the water unless you know how to swim and are in good physical health.
• Practice launching and landing procedures, and self rescue techniques before using this product near

With the kite on the sand and leading edge facing upwind start to unwind all the lines from the bar
walking downwind.
Put your bar in the sand with red side of the bar on the right and start untangling the ying lines,
walking upwind towards the kite.
We label each line with numbers which correspond to the same numbers on the kite. Use a larks head
knot to attach the lines making sure the line label system matches >> 4 to 4; 3 to 3; 2 to 2; 1 to 1. The line
labels are on the bar, lines and kite to make rigging stress free and easy.
The frontlines have stitched loop ends and the back lines have knots so it is very difcult for you to
attach the lines incorrectly.
• Attach the pump leash to the looped line in the center of the leading edge tube.
• Make sure all the clips are open before you start pumping.
• Inate using the IN valve. We recommend inating to 7 PSI. Do not over inate above 8 PSI.
• Close the main valve on the leading edge. Close the Neoprene cover.
• Make sure you CLOSE all the one-pump clips on the struts. This isolates each strut from the
leading edge so if you get a puncture in one part of the kite the rest of the kite will remain
inated.
• Once the kite is fully pumped up turn the kite over and put sand or sand bags on either side of
the center strut to secure the kite. Never leave a kite unattended without some sand or sand
bags on the kite.
WARNING: DO NOT RIDE THE KITE WITH THE ONE PUMP CLIPS UNDONE. IF YOU GET A
PUNCTURE THE WHOLE KITE WILL DEFLATE! ALWAYS CLOSE THE ONE PUMP CLIPS INSIDE THE
NEOPRENE COVERS AFTER PUMPING UP. DO NOT UNDER INFLATE THE KITE OR IT WILL NOT
PERFORM TO ITS DESIGNED TRIM AND WILL NOT RELAUNCH EASILY.

ADVANCED RIDERS USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, NOT RECOMMENDED
secUrity
The Quick Release is the primary connection
to the kite. Make sure you connect to the Quick
Release using the nger as shown in the pictures.
All riders should attach their Kite Leash to the Flag Out System. This is the small eyelet on the Stainless
Steel Swivel Ring.
When the release is activated, the kite will ag out and fall to the water/ground.
In all situations make sure that all lines are clear of all working release systems and the kite leash is
connected in the right way.
Riders performing unhooked tricks or who are more condent and have spent many hours Kiting can
attach in Expert mode, where the loop part runs through the large eye of the steel ring. When letting
go of the bar in Expert mode (without activating the release e.g. missed handle pass) the kite will
depower but WILL NOT ag out. Be aware in this situation, the Quick Release will be out of reach and can
therefore not be released. When hooked in and activating the Quick Release the steel ring automatically
slips off and the kite will ag out.
All line to kite connections are made using a “LARKS HEAD” knot.

Activate the Quick Release as shown in the pictures. Providing your leash is attached to the flag out
system the kite will 100% depower.
In the case of an extreme emergency where
you need to completely release from the kite,
use the quick release on the kite leash. This will
completely detach the kite and control system
from the user, and could therefore hit anything or
anyone downwind causing damage, serious injury
or death. RIDE RESPONSIBLY.

LAUNCHING AND LANDING
1st fly
Instruct your partner on how to handle the kite and
agree on a sign together for the release and landing.
They should hold the kite in the center of the leading
edge at the edge of the window and double check that
all lines are clear. It is possible for lines to get wrapped
around the tip so make sure they understand that all
lines must run clearly from each attachment point.
Before you give the signal to release make sure you are
100% condent that all lines are clear. Then give your
pre-agreed signal for your partner to release the kite
and gently launch the kite to the top of the window.
Landing the kite use the same principles >> Most importantly keep your head clear, be smooth and controlled with
the kite and land before you are too tired or overpowered.
WARNING: NEVER LAUNCH A KITE DIRECTLY DOWNWIND OF YOU IN THE POWER ZONE!

WATER RELAUNCHING
Once the kite is face down with the leading edge touching the water:
1: Pull the bar in towards you to increase back line tension.
2: Pull one of the rear lines (line attached to bar ends) towards your body with constant tension. Look at
the kite as you pull the rear line and be ready to release some tension as the kite ips up onto its tip.
3: Once on its tip the kite will work its way to the edge of the wind window. This requires some skill and
nesse in order to not stall the kite backwards onto the water.
4: When the kite is at the edge of the window make sure you have the bar pushed at least half de-
powered and steer the kite gently to the top of the window.
NOTE: If the kite somehow lands nose down but with the tips facing away, pull one of the rear leader
lines to help the kite blow around to the correct position then follow the steps above for getting the
kite re-launched.

If you get in trouble out in the water, there is a simple way to self rescue yourself.
Firstly kill the kite’s power with the ag out system by releasing the chicken loop. The kite will ag out
and drop to the water.
Lines are dangerous in this situation so make sure you wind the ag out frontline around the bar at least
10x to disable the kite. Then wrap all the lines together onto the bar as you normally would. You will end
up at the kite ideally with the lines wrapped tightly and neatly on the bar. Make a few half hitches to
secure the lines.
Once you have got hold of the kite you can drop the bar. When you have reached the kite, take hold of
the bridle lines at each wingtip. Hold both bridals to use the kite as a sail to get back to shore safely.
To release the line from the cleat teeth, rst pull
out and down to unlock the line from the teeth,
then set the trimmer line to the desired amount.
Pull the trimmer line down to de-power the
kite. This is needed if you are overpowered, for
unhooked riding, or if you are walking on the
beach or snow.
Release the trimmer line away from you to
increase kite power.

All lines should be maintained as close to equal length
as possible. Flying lines can stretch over time, generally
the front lines stretch more as these take the majority
of the load.
To check your lines, unwind the lines from the bar and
have a partner hold the lines even at the bar end. Taking
hold of the lines at the other end, pull on the lines to
check they are even. If the lines are not even you may
either;
1) Stretch out the shorter lines. Attach the shorter lines to
a car hitch or something very solid. Then take hold of the
bar and pull with enough force to stretch the line. Do this
to any lines that are shorter and re-check that all 4 lines
are equal length.
2) Use the Leader Line trimming knots located underneath
the bar ends.
TRIMMING FOR LINE STRETCH
Packing
• Detach the ying lines from the kite, and wrap them around the bar ends in a gure of eight. Use the
elastic line retainers to keep them held in place
• To deate the kite rst release all one pump plastic clips. Then gently open the OUT valve on the leading
edge. This large valve dumps the air quickly from the kite.
• Roll the upwind tip in to the centre. Then roll the opposite side.
• Screw the inate/deate valve in and close the neoprene cover.
• Fold the kite in 3 sections from trailing edge to t in bag.

care &
maintenance
rePairs
Kites are very technical products and are used in the harsh marine environment. If you use common
sense and care for your equipment it will look after you and keep its factory trim for hundreds of hours.
Never pump up your kite on a rough surface which may have sharp objects.
Be very careful with your ying lines. If you catch them on a rock or sharp object thoroughly check each
one and we recommend you replace your lines. Also make sure there are no knots in the lines. Knots
weaken the line by up to 50%.
Once you have pumped up secure your kite with sand or use sandbags – Do not use heavy objects or
even your board, the ns have been known to rip kites.
Never leave your kite on the beach un-used for long periods of time in the sun and wind. The trailing
edge apping and sand hitting the sail cloth will severely shorten the kite’s life. UV also shortens the
lifespan of a kite so pack away when
not using your kite.
Never pack away your kite wet, only when 100% dry – This will damage the cloth and its coatings and may
lead to dye running. This is not valid for warranty.
Never leave your kite inside your car in direct sunlight.
Always clean your control system with fresh water after every session, and reload/release the Quick
Release to check the system is functioning correctly. Store your control system with the Quick Release
open. Reload the next time you set up your kite.
When inating the bladders always inate slowly and ensure the bladders are inating correctly in the
struts or leading edge. If you see a twist or something looks strange STOP pumping immediately and
check bladders. They may need re-inserting to ensure they inate properly.
We supply a repair kit with the following contents:
1. A4 pieces of sail cloth
2. A4 piece of Dacron
3. 1 x length of 50mm wide sticky black repair tape
4. 6” x 3” Tear-Aid bladder repair patch
5. 2 Alcohol wipes
6. One pump clip / hose / hose retainer
If you have a major repair like a tear across panels, struts or the leading edge take the kite to your local
sail repair shop. For minor tears and bladder punctures you can easily x these yourself with the repair kit
supplied with the kite.
