2009 Ozone Instinct Light XC
INFO
LIGHT XCThe Light XC has come of age in 2009. No longer can it be viewed as just a school or beginners kite, this new generation is truly the perfect crossover kite for all levels of rider.
Progressive power delivery, sharper handling and better all-round performance with smooth bar feel. The Light XC is ideal for intermediates, beginners, schools and wave riders. Low aspect, three strut kite; simplicity without compromising performance
-
No longer one pump for simplicity when changing bladders. Often in the early stages of kiting the kite can take a hammering and also in the waves. For this reason we have have taken the one pump off the light this year which makes it more robust.
-
Increased bar pressure for a better feel of the kite which makes it more intuitive to fly through the wind range.´
-
Two handling options- tractor (slower with more bar pressure to have time for the beginner to react) and hot rod (faster lighter bar pressure if you are used to kiting; reacts quicker for wave riding)
-
Modified profile increased camber for more grunt and bar pressure.
-
Tube Size- increased to accommodate 4 lines and assist with relaunch due to better flotation.
-
Modified Plan Form- smoother leading edge curve, to help it roll up on its tip to come off the water quicker.
-
Optimized Strut Placement- the outer strut has been moved towards the root for better sail control and to reduce trailing edge flutter- also helps the tip flex for better handling.
-
Tube and Top Surface Attachment- Millimeter precise optimization of both the tube size and top surface panels gives us the cleanest leading edge in the business. This enables the air to accelerate quickly over the smooth surfaces enhancing performance across the range.

Great Wave Kite!
Like surfing but without the paddling! Use the wind to tow you so you can catch the perfect wave every time.
Experiencing the thrill of being propelled across the water with no engine or noise, just the sound of the wind in your ears and your kitesurf board planning across the water. Once you have had some basic tuition and you’ve stood up on a board for the first time, you’ll want to keep coming back for more.
All Ozone kitesurfing kites are LEI (Leading Inflatable Edge). Look at the product information for more details but you’ll see that Kitesurfing kites have an inflatable tube on the front edge so when you drop the kite into the water, it’s easy to relaunch so you can get going again.
