Ozone Zephyr 2010 Kite Review
Kite Features
- Pulley-less system
- Light wind specific kite
- Huge wind range
- Below bar 100% flag out safety
- Available in 4 colors
The 2010 Zephyr is a kite that’s been designed for one specific purpose: to go up in even the lightest of winds. Consequently the kite is available in just one size – 17m. Don’t let the kite’s big size put you off. I know that when you think of a 17m kite you immediately imagine a kite that is sluggish and difficult to control. This is definitely not the case with the 2010 Zephyr. Despite its size, the 2010 Zephyr offers the same superior handling, power and control that other Ozone kites have to offer (smaller Ozone kites).
If you want a kite with a huge wind range, a kite that will allow you to continue your session even after others have called it a day, then you need to get the 2010 Zephyr.

Please note that the wind ranges are meant only as a reference guide. Actual wind ranges may vary according to your body weight and ability level, and according to water conditions, board size, and riding style. You should always use common sense and your personal experience when selecting a kite size. If you don’t know what kite size to use, talk to other riders and see what they’re using on the water.
