Prism took the winning wing shape of the Vapor and adapted it to create a simpler indoor/ultralight design with a frame that combines G-Force Skinnies and .157 pultruded carbon tubes. The result is a kite that's almost as light, but significantly less fragile because Its flexible leading edges make it astonishingly forgiving both in the sky and on the ground.

The Ozone flies beautifully indoors, but is reinforced to take the abuse you'll give it outdoors in winds up to 12 mph. After you've demonstrated a perfect triple axel into a rising fade in 1 mph, this is a kite you can confidently hand to a beginner for a first low-wind flight.

The "Tri-Axis" dynamic bridle allows incredibly precise control over the kite all the way through a flat spin or axel, making possible the slowest, most graceful light-wind maneuvers you've ever experienced. Easy "Dead Launch" capability gets you out of embarrassing situations with grace, and variable standoff positioning gives you four different lift/drag settings for indoor and outdoor performance. 

If you live where the wind is light and fluky, the Ozone will be the first kite out of your bag.

 This Ozone was purchased from the USA, and was originally made in October 2003. It remained in the store unopened until November 2007 , when it took its maiden flight in Hobart, Tasmania.
