Ozone Vortex Ultra-X, looks like a awesome playful kite, but why only make it up to 11m? Allmost all small kites are fun, but there is close to zero high performance playful kites in the bigger sizes. If you start making it in 13-15m it might be the the biggest improvement for medium to light wind fun gear in a long time

Im sure it’s because this is marketed as a megaloop kite which nobody is going to megaloop a 15m blah blah blah
But yeah, bigger sizes! Amen. Vortex 20m please

I already made a thread of the kite (the same title: "Ozone Vortex Ultra-X") yesterday but it was removed. Is this a bug that threads disappear by themselves or did you remove it Toby - if you did, why?
It would be good kite for foiling and for those who loop. Ozone + aluula = must be crazy expensive

Does it replace a kite line or it's adding a new one? Wondering if the edge days are done...

I can't imagine that the average rider will pay 3000€/$ for a kite -> no replace

I just don’t get why they don’t make the zephyr in 9m and down!
Everyone one knows small kites are fun..

The best thing about aluula is that u get away with a smaller kite. I never touched my 15m juice anymore after getting a 13 juice dlab. I tried the 15m dlab but it doesnt add much, being a lot slower to take the fun away again
