The IMP kite is an open cell foil kite designed with ease of use, enjoyment and quality in mind. The newly added 3rd line makes this the trainer kite of choice for everybody wanting to learn about kiting and improve your kite skills
It is a very stable kite with smooth and easy control characteristics, making it easy to fly, delivering performance and most of all, it is lots of fun
This version of the Imp comes with a bar control system and can be used by kite surf schools and people wanting to learn the basics of kite handling with the idea to progress to kite surfing or snow kiting
If the kiter gets into trouble they simply let go the bar and the kite will fall to the ground with no power. Then pick the bar back up and get going again
The Imp has incredible stability, direct handling and flies perfectly in light or strong winds with a wide wind window
The Imp is supplied ready to fly with the lines already attached
For experienced flyers, it’s the perfect gift for friends and family. Help introduce them to kiting without any stress and watch them fall in love with kiting in safety so they can progress to power-kiting with confidence
The Imp Trainer is the perfect kite for beginners or if you want a fun kite to use occasionally

I have been kiting for a long time... and now ignitiating my girlfriend and son with this trainer kite.
PROS
The kite comes ready to use right out of the bag.
Super simple to fly - not like old school stuff.
Very durable so you can simply "learn".
3.5M may be a little much for learners but so perfect for light winds (up to 15 MPH for learning).
Great emergency kite that packs small in your bag for those high winds.
I have actually used it myself during 30-40MPH to get back home.
CONS:
The bar doesn't come with harness straps - so I simply built my own with a pulley system.
The bag is worthless - I place a strap around it instead.
The leash and bag are somwhat "cheap" so I replaced the leash for high winds.
Overall and aside from the small issues above, you will love this kite. My girlfriend and son took 5 minutes to be flying and in control.
It introduced them to kiting, and they are fully enjoying kiting.
Personally, this kite will come along in my bag for all trip.
3 Lines make a big difference

I am new to kiting, so take my advice however you want, but the new 3 line Ozone Imp trainer kite is definetly the way to go. I struggled for awhile with my first trainer kite trying to fly by myself and relaunching. Then I called TMS, and the guys here turned me on to the Imp trainer with 3 lines and a super easy relaunch. They really knew their stuff and I was impressed with their information so I bought the 2.5m. I am so happy I bought it because my training sessions are so much better and I am so much less frustrated. Thanks TMS, you rule!
