Utah lake Demos

It was great to show up in Utah again and stop off at Ozone Head Quarters!! I love to come back and see that my job has been working! When people want kites, we try to give em what they want!!

I get the easy job of giving them a drug like the Zephyr!! Then I hook em on something they want! What an addiction, who would have thought people get so hooked on kiting! I know that I have a problem, I am an addict. I don't know what I would do if I didn't kite. Or have good kites to fly! My addiction has brought me across the country now a couple of times and all I want is more, more, more!

I hope my addiction has rubbed off! I know it has in Utah. With there being just two different riders, an Ozone rider or just the other guy! Do you want to be just the other guy? Your still cool other guy but you would be way happier on my drug! OZONE!! I accept all kiter friends but I guarantee you will have a bigger smile with me! Try it you might like it, Catalyst, C4, Edge, Zephyr's......

A kite for every rider. If you are just starting or are a surfer the Catalyst is your ticket. If you're a ripper or just a fun rider C4 might float your boat! If you're fast and furious, you might want the fast moving high jumping feel of the Edge. Or If you need a kite for the light wind to the heavy you better get the Zephyr, my one-kite quiver!!

I love them all. Just depends on how you want your ride to feel or how you want to feel your ride! Remember no lame ass PULLEYS! Direct to kite feel and just smiles after that!

I know my cronies in Utah love em! They just need to sell last years 09's to buy this years 2010 now!!

If you an't got no money save it for the one kite that matters, the ZEPHYR. I pinched all my pennies to get one you should too!

Wyoming and having it Dialed!!

So Wyoming!! Dude!! The Wyoming Boys got it figured out. These guys all go riding almost every single day!! Within about one hour of Jackson Hole, Wyoming we traveled North, South, East, West but always got it! I stayed in Jackson for 7 days and kited 6 days! I had to take a day off!! Sometimes you need break to do laundry and clean dishes also to revamp the Muscles!

I must say that Jackson has it all. With the snow being perfect. The terrain being even better! Also some of the smooothest winds you will ever get to snow kite with! Not only that you can look on the web and figure out where to go. And be there when it hits, in the morning or afternoon!!

I have to really hand it to the Jackson Boys for making our trip turn out so great! They should really stop tuning skis and working at ski shops and just become bad ass guides!! Because they know whats up!!

The spots they ride are really world class. From Togotee Pass, Boundurant, Rim spot, Ririe, Sublet Peak, and abroad. If you want more info and or weather conditions go to

This web site is the ultimate guide to what is what in the Jackson area!!


Thank you to Will, Wayne, Pascal, Chaz, and everyone else that come out and rode. Thank you for trying out the new 2010 Ozones too!

Special thanks to Wayne and Florence for letting us chill at your house and also trying to tow us up with the sled to Sublet Peak. Bummer on the breaking of the sled :( I guess that is why we kite! Less maintenance and no gas or oil, just the wind in our backs!! Thank you

Gawking at the C4!

So I have to admit that for the last 5 years I have been missing one thing! My 13m Fuel! But now my dreams totally came true with something more amazing than a old school fuel.

The C4 has totally put smiles on tons of faces!! Everyone that flys it, be it a beginner to advance pilot they all come back and say the same thing, "This C4 is SICK!!!"

With crazy grunt, pull and pop the kite is where you need it. Also it depowers when you don't need it! Not only that I was throwing down so much because the relaunch on the C4 is almost automatic!! With just a easy tug on the steering line the kite relaunchs with easy be it flat water or in the surf.

I also have to say what a boosting mega kite looping fun ride!!!

I guess you have to try it to believe it!!

Three Mile fun! + Rooster Rockin

So our first camp spot was a total surprise. As Brian and I drove all the way from Mt. Pleasant, Utah, about 12 hours. We showed up to Three Mile Canyon to camp. To our surprise we got down to the water and there was about 50 cops! For me I don't trust the police, so it was a awkward situation. It must of looked funny when we drove down to the waters edge in the Ozone van. Then we turned right around and high tailed it out of there.

Weird vibe from Cops, so we went to the next exit down the road to camp. After a good night sleep listening to the train that rambles down the canyon. We headed out in the morning to Hood River. We met up with our Friends Tony and Noah of Montana Kite Sports. Then decided where the wind is going to be in the Gorge. The sand bar wasn't looking great, light wind and hot. So we decided to rock down river to Rooster Rock.

What a sweet spot! It is a state park with a great beach and sand to launch kites and hang out on. But even better it is a clothing optional beach!! I got to kite and look at naked woman in the river!!! How much fun is that! Kites and BOOBS yahooooo! Only down fall is the Viet Shlong!! And the old naked dudes, but there is a good share of strippers from Portland.

The wind was cranking at Rooster that day. We were riding 9m Edge's. Also got to test out the new C4 kite by Ozone. It was sweet! I got to test a 11m C4. All I can say is SUPER! The kite is a total hoot. It is a user friendly C kite that totally depowers and still has the punch and bang of a C kite. I was amazed at its gust munching abilities. There will be alot of stoked people to try this ride. It is a totally different feel and jumping with it is like going to the moon. I need to ride the C4 for a afternoon just so I could get use to the boost and glide. Also the speed it moves, what a riot!

From local Gorge riders to visiting retailers everyone that got there hands on the c4. Was stoked on the new generation of Ozones. And loved the fact that they are trying new designs that work!

COMING SOON
Zephyr pics and write up!
