Ozone Light XC (2009)

The Ozone Instinct Light XC has come of age in 2009. This new generation is truly the perfect crossover kite for all levels of rider.

Progressive power delivery, sharper handling and better all-round
performance means that from starting out to wave or even unhooked - the Light XC packs the perfect punch to progress safely and stress free.

The big difference for ‘09 is the advent of having four line kites instead of five without sacrificing the Ozone feeling. The Instinct XC 09 has a more powerful, smoother and progressive feel than ever before. The Ozone's "Sweet Spot" is now much wider!. The bar pressure gives better feedback to the rider and the de-power trim strap is more effective without sacrificing feel or handling when engaged. The Light XC has two settings for fast and light or slower and heavier handling, giving every rider the opportunity to set the kite up for individual preference.

It's an affordable, ultra light, 3 strut kite ideal for a wide range of riders and conditions. The Ozone Instinct Light XC is fun and easy to fly and feel this versatile machine will redefine recreational Kitesurfing.

The Ozone Instinct Light XC is the perfect travel kite; light in weight and packs very small due to its compact size and minimalist 3 Strut Concept. Take the 12m on holiday with your surfboard and you have the perfect travel combo that will be under any airlines weight limits! The low end grunt of the Instinct Light XC is truly impressive and combined with its massive depower, the wind range of the Light allows you to consider a one size quiver for most days.

For wave riding, the Ozone Instinct Light’s low weight is the secret that unleashes its increased performance from such a stable shape. It literally hangs in the air even in super light winds and at the edge of the wind window…. it just keeps pulling. The lightness is really felt when on fast waves …when moving with a quick wave the rider can easily overtake the kite and create less tension on the lines between rider and kite. While a heavy kite loses power and dies in this situation, the Instinct Light just keeps pulling away from the rider maintaining constant tension & pressure in the lines. This allows the rider to concentrate 100% on the wave knowing that the Light is always ready, and with its progressive steering one can confidently snap turns at will up or down the line.

For intermediate riders interested in learning to ride unhooked the Light is also the kite to own. You can un-hook without stressing your head with crazy power, the Light seriously makes riding un-hooked easy and stress free and therefore makes it easier for you to master your moves. This is the unhooked school kite that will allow the rider to learn those ballsy moves with ease.

The Ozone Instinct Light XC has also been designed to be as easy and adaptable as possible, making it the ideal kite for schools and beginners looking for simplicity and a quick learning curve. Line Trimmers affixed above each bar end, allow instructors to adjust the perfect line tension for any wind condition. If you prefer more bar pressure, simply pull in the trimmers. Want that light feel, just let the trimmer back out.

The relaunch is almost automatic, just turn the bar and it’s in the air. The Lights constant power and fluid steering combined with user friendly characteristics makes the Light a dream for accelerating any learning curve. It is powerful enough to tow into the largest of waves, yet its low aspect shape will keep you on your board and not eject you when the trigger is pulled.

We also feel that this kite is ideal for the occasional kiter or family that loves kiting yet does not want to invest in a lot of equipment. With the Light they have the best of all worlds, a fun and easy kite for all ages of the family that has full depower, re-assuring safety, easy relaunch, and not only is it light in weight it is also light on the wallet.
