Ozone Imp
The Ozone IMP has been re-designed in 2007 and many improvements have been made. The Imp now comes in 4 sizes!!
The Ozone Imp is an easy-to-use, three-line, Para-foil which is perfect for anyone that wants to try kiting. The Imp is the perfect trainer kite to safely learn the basics of kiting before moving onto more powerful kites. Ozone designed the Imp for those looking to try kiting in a fun and safe way without committing themselves too deeply to the sport. The easy 2-line design makes it easy for kiters to learn and develop skills without frustration.
The Ozone Imp has incredible stability, direct handling and flies perfectly in light or strong winds with a wide wind window.
For experienced flyers: maybe this kites not for you BUT it’s the perfect gift for friends and family. Help introduce them to kiting without any stress and watch them fall in love with kiting, safely, so they can progress to power-kiting with confidence.
Features:
-
Quality: Ozone feel that design can be broken down into 3 sub-headings! 1/ Design: a quality design results in a kite that handles as well as possible, combined with the highest level of performance and safety. 2/ Materials: when Ozone choose materials they base their decision upon the fact that the materials used are the best available for the job. 3/ Production: all Ozone kites are manufactured in their own facility, giving them total control over every aspect of the manufacturing process. Each kite is fully inflated and inspected to certified paragliding standards before leaving our DHV-approved factory. 4/ Testing: every Ozone kite has undergone thousands of hours of development, from CAD design through to riding in extremes, at -40 0 C in Norway to the baking heat and sand blasts of Chile.
-
Mylar Edged: Aerodynamics tells us that the leading and trailing edges are the two most critical lines in an aerofoil section. Ozone kites are Mylar taped which gives a more rigid structure, a clean and efficient aerofoil, and absolutely zero stretching. The Mylar tape effectively locks the sail shape, meaning your kite keeps its factory trim.
-
Double stitched: Ozone kites are double-needle stitched. This is stronger and more durable than single line stitching in the event of the kite being dragged over rough ground. Even the thread used for stitching the lines and sail is UV-bonded which adds further strength and life-span to the kite. Every seam is checked to within 0.5 mm; a look at the colour-scheme accuracy and the inside of the seams of Ozone kites will highlight this fact.
-
Bridle Lines: Ozone's aim is to use the least amount of line possible, to minimise parasitic drag through the air. This results in a more performant kite. Ozone have established that the accuracy and diameter of the line lengths is vitally important. To achieve this accuracy, Ozone use the highest quality Dyneema lines which are stitch finished for extra strength and less drag. The ‘kook-proof’ colour-coded and labelled line connection system makes setup safer and completely stress-free for riders new to kiting.
-
Lines: Tested to 100kg, Ozone’s heat-treated Edelrid Dyneema SK75 lines ensure stretch resistance, a high thermal tolerance and durability for all kites. Lines are cut, pre-stretched, sleeved and stitched to ensure 100% accuracy. The lines are final load tested to 60% of their breaking strain to “lock” the line and as a final production check.
-
Attachment Tabs: The attachment tabs on Ozone kites are sewn deep into the reinforcement area of the ribs. This means that the load is spread over a larger area of material and therefore reduces any stretching and ageing of the cloth.
