Hi everyone,

Some of you might have experienced it already… your Ozone snowkite powers you up the mountain and the higher you climb, the stronger the wind. But you don’t necessarily feel it as you are going uphill – you just continue going faster feeling a huge rush. Arriving at the top you realize that the wind has picked up considerably, but you still have to land and pack your kite. It’s not always easy and especially doing it safely may need a demonstration. Check out the video created by http://www.unhooked.ch of Dom showing us how easy it can be if you just do it right.

Make sure you practice in low winds so you know what to do when you are faced with really strong conditions. We want you to be able to explore your world safely with Ozone.
