Hi everyone,
I am thinking of buying a new Ozone Frenzy with the idea that at some point, say in a year, it will become part of a 2-kite quiver, and I'm not sure which size to start with. Ignoring the conditions I am likely to meet in my neck of the woods (which I know little about; this is my first foray into snowkiting), I thought the 11 + 7 would be a great combo (and since my girlfriend is into kiting as well, it will allow her to enjoy a good chunk of the weather too), covering winds from 10-25 knots. Would you say going for the 11 as my first kite would be a wise move (the local Ozone rep recommended the 9 for the local conditions, but I didn't mention anything about completing a quiver to him, so he may have been trying to cover me as much as possible with a single size)? Some of you will probably recommend a different brand, but I'm set on the Ozones (and the Frenzy in particular, though the Summits are an option as well). The rides I plan on doing will consist mainly of carving, some airs (nothing huge -- I have a respectable fear of heights), backcountry cruising, and climbing up slopes for some freeride skiing back down (again, nothing particularly spectacular); the local snowkiting spot is a mountain plateau with some rolling hills at 2000m elevation. Thanks for the tips!
