Hi Guys,

Anyone used the Ozone Reo kites with a non-Ozone bar.

I am planning to use with my Cabrinha bars (which I like 'cause of the spring thing and the pull-pull depower) with an 8m and 10m, 2012 Reo.
Hooked in wave riding is what I like to do. Hooked in lawn mowing, a few tricks and boosts is what I normally get to do in the metro area.

I was really wondering what the distance between lines across the bar and the length of the Ozone throw are - to compare with my Cabrinha bar - does anyone out there know?

Interested in any advice or views as well.

Thanks.

should work. I use 2 different brands with huge depower on my reo and they work. cabrinha dont have much depower so should be fairly safe. Just test tune kite in moderate winds a few times.

Will work just need to check safety Reo flag to one line. Used a north bar 4 line fine but never used the safety as I did not know whot would happen flaging to 2 front lines.

I'd advise against using any 2 front line flagging bar on a kite that is not designed for that system. In an emergency, and even to self land, the safety system will not work properly.
Get a bar that has a single front line flagging system, NONE of the Cabrinha bars from 2006 -2013 have a single front line flag out system.

@Dark side, best to get a single front line flagging bar. I've probably got something around here....

Can death loop, if you flag them to one line. Often it will work, but due to the longish front bridles, they can spin, once they have a few spins they just keep going until you are forced to eject (if you can!!!)

I also have an 8m Reo and using an Cabrinha 2013 bar (for my other kites) - seemed to work ok. The 8m Reo seemed super responsive, perhaps a bit too responsive.... but the main issue was that I had to switch the kite connector knots (from line to kite) around as the inside lines / outside linese were opposite on the Reo. Anyone else notice this?
