Hi,
Being frustrated on weekend with heaps of guys out on 17m kites in sub 15 knots, I was looking for a second hand larger kite and apart from Ozone Zephyr is there any other recommendations? Ozone 17m Edge??
I am 82kg and am between beginner to Intermediate kiter at this stage. Appreciate feedback

The Blade Fat Lady 17m. Awesome!

OR

Flysurfer Speed 3 15mt up to 21mt. Now that flies in anything above 4 knots

What is your board? Generally best to upgrade this first to something suitable for lighter conditions. Wider, flatter twin tip.

My 15m Liquid Force Envy gets me going from 10 knots and I'm 90 kg.

get a big board like spleene or flysurfer doors, they will get you going on your 15m in sub 10knts.

I am 124kg and my 2014 envy is superb, I can run from 10knots upto 22knots, it's a great kite and turns very quickly- like a much smaller kite. It is better than the zephyr and the naish fly 15m . The bar and lines are heavy duty and are rated for over 100kg- unlike most other brands. Also in light wind I use an axis vanguard 148x 46 this helps loads , I switch above 15knots to a 140/41 cardboard fr . I have even bought a 10.5m envy for high winds!!

Liquid force kite quality is crap! Imo. They don't last.

Errr no, they are well constructed , much better than other contemporary brands. Perhaps you have an alternative suggestion?
