Adding to your confidence is the Explore V3’s crash-resistant build, super easy self landing \/ launching ability and the incredibly small size it packs down to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough massively accessible, the Explore V3 is capable of delivering huge riding potential to advanced riders who want to push their boundaries. The versatile handling can be used to steer the kite through tight and dynamic loops, or slower, wider arcs; both essential for navigating difficult terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced on the Explore V2, the closed cells in the tips reduce tip flutter when looping the kite, resulting in less noise and a smoother feeling. Riding down slopes with the kite de-powered up high in the window, or to the side, allows you to focus more on riding and less on the kite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eREVOLUTIONARY INTERNAL RE-RIDE RELEASE SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur unique Internal Re-Ride Release System is the market leading Snowkite release and landing system. It has made mountain climbing and packing so much more enjoyable, safe, easy and quick for the user. When activated the kite de-powers instantly without tangling, and will sit on the ground ready to re-launch when you’re ready again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother advantage of our Internal Re-Ride Release System is the land and secure option. To land the kite simply pull the 5th line until you reach the Secure Loop which can be found approx 2m up from the control bar. The kite will stall and fall to the ground without any pull. Use the Secure Loop in the 5th line to keep the kite on the ground - it can be hooked onto the kite leash clip, or slipped over the bar end. This makes landing and packing your kite safe and easy even in high winds. The Brake Handle spanned between the back leader lines on the control system makes reverse launch and light wind landing easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0298\/7821\/files\/Ozone_Explore_V3_Single_Rider_600x600.jpg?v=1730406612\" alt=\"Ozone Explore V3 - Mountain View\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKite Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBar Length (cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine Length (m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSUMMARY: WHY CHOOSE A SINGLE SURFACE DESIGN? \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are some general differences when comparing single surface designs to ram-air foils and inflatable kites:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle surface kites depower instantly for a very safe and easy feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey’re much lighter weight, which also means they can fly better in lighter winds. You can really work the low end of the Explore V3 very efficiently without worrying as much about keeping the kite in the sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe single surface design uses less cloth, so is not only lighter in weight, but also packs down to an ultra compact size, making it easy to pack multiple kites into your backpack, or to take a kite along on a ski mission ‘just in case’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Explore V3 is super easy to self-launch and land. Unlike other single surface kites it rarely gets tangled when landed with the 5th line re-ride system. It is easy to relaunch, even in strong conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Explore V3 build is very resistant to crashes. As a single surface design there is no internal pressure build up between the surfaces that could potentially cause the seams to explode if you tomahawk it hard into the ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3CDjTgoiato?si=z3uhBhDhVQYli4T2\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IkCqCXH3JqQ?si=2NvV4adyRhKTmMnj\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ozone","offers":[{"title":"4m \/ Red \/ White","offer_id":50590034788625,"sku":"5055358936735","price":1240.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4m \/ Blue \/ White","offer_id":50590034821393,"sku":"5055358936711","price":1240.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4m \/ Yellow \/ White","offer_id":50590034854161,"sku":"5055358936728","price":1240.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6m \/ Red \/ White","offer_id":50590034886929,"sku":"5055358936773","price":1345.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6m \/ Blue \/ White","offer_id":50590034919697,"sku":"5055358936759","price":1345.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6m \/ Yellow \/ White","offer_id":50590034952465,"sku":"5055358936766","price":1345.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8m \/ Red \/ White","offer_id":50590034985233,"sku":"5055358936810","price":1425.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8m \/ Blue \/ White","offer_id":50590035018001,"sku":"5055358936797","price":1425.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8m \/ Yellow \/ White","offer_id":50590035050769,"sku":"5055358936803","price":1425.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10m \/ Red \/ White","offer_id":50590035083537,"sku":"5055358936858","price":1560.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10m \/ Blue \/ White","offer_id":50590035116305,"sku":"5055358936834","price":1560.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10m \/ Yellow \/ White","offer_id":50590035149073,"sku":"5055358936841","price":1560.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12m \/ Red \/ White","offer_id":50590035181841,"sku":"","price":1655.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12m \/ Blue \/ White","offer_id":50590035214609,"sku":"","price":1655.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12m \/ Yellow \/ White","offer_id":50590035247377,"sku":"","price":1655.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0298\/7821\/files\/Ozone_Explore_V3_Red_Canada.webp?v=1730405400","url":"https:\/\/kitesource.ca\/fr\/products\/ozone-explore-v3","provider":"Kitesource","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
