Someone's been on the UK Ebay! I saw this too. I couldn't find any reviews but looks like they were made around 2003 or 4.steve5767 - 8-4-2013 at 01:39 PM

my brother has a 12m Element. we've heard these were made by (in same factory as Frenzy) Ozone for Naish.
they are an Ozone Frenzy with Naish's bar (which is a lot sweeter than the Frenzy's of that day).
My brother's 12m's wing tips seemed to tuck often and I've read that's an issue but can be modded. we never modded.
the 12m Naish Element has tonnes (and i do mean tonnes) more bottom end grunt than my 12m FS PulseII. i recS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-n the 10m follows suit.erratic winds - 8-4-2013 at 02:45 PM
Have flown it, and just like the slingshot ranger, it's a copy of a frenzy....just a copy of a newer frenzy than the ranger is. It's gonna act like a bigger kite than it is, slow to turn(even on a big bar), with
low-quality safety system, and prone to overfly/luff once you start trimming in.....
All that said, if the price is right, it's a big ole foil for cheap, and even non-stellar ones are better than no wing at all!
I would say get it if you can get a RTF package for under 200GBP!elfasa - 8-4-2013 at 03:51 PM
I've been keeping an eye on this one too :P
To be honest I didn't know much about it, what year it was etc, and don't really need it as well as my '08/9 11m frenzy (wanna get a 7m next) but
thought it might go cheap.
I know other may think differently, but I probably wouldn't get a de power pre 2005/6. Before then the safety isn't up to much (or so I'm told), and
the tech has come on alot since then.
Like people said though, if it goes for the right price... To put it into perspective I got my 11m frenzy fx (2008/9) which is in good nick, but some
colour fade, for £265 posted, not long ago.

Hi Tim,
your spot on about the safety,as i believe this kite may be around 2003/4,i did find a few threads on the Element which said,'A great kite like an
early Frenzy'??? But apparently the safety is poor and out dated.....Shame as i think this will go for a great price!
The kite i REALLY want is the Frenzy for sure,but would settle for a Phantom mk2,or Manta...lolelfasa - 9-4-2013 at 02:13 PM
Yeah, when I get enough money I'll upgrade to a more modern frenzy, with the 5th line safety. But until then my one will do fine
Are you wanting to buy second hand ?? Frenzy's come up every now and then, a lot of '05s have been circulating recently, I was thinking of getting
one, but Wanted a more modern one really. PL arcs are fairly common to find for sale, especially the older ones V1, and P1s (a lot of Guerillas about
too). They seem to keep their value though, so rarely go cheap. Keep an eye on ebay ! You don't often see mantas for sale. Or I don't at least.
(Again, keep with the M2/3) And they are pricey too. A bit different to the frenzy. You can't just pull the bar, and jump like on the frenzy. You have
to have a bit of a run up, and build up some speed to get the most out of it.. It was my next choice after a frenzy when I got mine. The summit is the
'new manta'. So you can ad that to your search list :P
What's your rough budget ? And what size are you after ideally ? I'll keep an eye / ear out for you.

I really cant wait for some decent wind now ! Itching to get out again :Dsteve5767 - 9-4-2013 at 02:37 PM
I haven't got a budget in mind yet Tim,or a budget at the moment!....saving my pennies....lol:embarrased:
To be honest just love the idea of a De-power, especially the Frenzy,between 9 and 11m i guess. Maybe i'll buy your one mate,you never know.....The
idea of just pulling the bar of the Frenzy and lift off! what a buzz!...Yes please!...Like the idea of that,seems very controlled.I will get a
De-power,hopefully this Summer,just hope its a Frenzy!....lol
I'm itching to get out too Tim....Try this Buggy out! Give me a call when you want to go Tim.Cheers mate.elfasa - 9-4-2013 at 06:17 PM
Ohh, okay. Aren't we all.. Haha.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was after !
It's gonna act like a bigger kite than it is, slow to turn(even on a big bar), with
low-quality safety system, and prone to overfly/luff once you start trimming in.....
:P
