Ozone Apex V2
The Apex V2 is a revolutionary hydrofoil board designed for the most progressive kite foilers of today. This super dynamic board offers stiffness, response, and compact shaping, making it a versatile option for various foiling adventures.

Ozone Code V4
The Code is Ozone's all-around performance twin-tip, and the fourth iteration has just been released. Given the popularity of previous versions, its overall design remains similar, with predominantly construction tweaks to improve the flex and, in turn, performance characteristics. It's a medium rocker, medium flex, progressive outline board of average central width, pulled in tips and some very interesting design...
Ozone Connect V4
One of Ozone’s product taglines is ‘Born Light - Genetically Strong’. This perfectly sums up the new Ozone Connect V4 harness range. The fourth iteration of the Connect harness series is lightweight, travel-friendly, and functional compared to fashion. By prioritising an ergonomic fit to deliver support where you need it without hindering a rider’s freedom of movement, Ozone has delivered...
Ozone Edge V12
The Ozone Edge. I can't think of another kite with both mass market appeal and a wide-ranging reputation for world-class performance. It has helped riders break Woo records, score course racing bullets, and, more recently, stand on the King of the Air podium! Nowadays, the Edge V12 tagline is simply 'Big Air, Epic Hangtime, and High Energy Freeride!' This hybrid...
Ozone Reo V7
Two years after the launch of the V6, the Reo V7 has arrived, offering even tighter tuning for an exhilarating experience on the water. With its joystick control, this iconic kite delivers thrilling sessions every time. The Reo V7 is the perfect surf performance kite, designed to conquer any wave in any location. It features transverse sail shaping, which results...
Ozone Reo V7 Ultra-X
It could be argued that, as a tester, you shouldn't get more excited about certain products than others, but we're all human, and Ozone has just released something special… Ozone has just dropped the new version of the legendary Reo and, in doing so, given us two construction options. The Reo V7 has similar Dacron and canopy types and weights...
Ozone Vortex Ultra-X
It’s always exciting when a brand releases an entirely new product line, but especially when it is their foray into using an Aluula Composites airframe. Now, Ozone is no stranger to new ideas and cutting-edge R&D, and they’re often the pioneers themselves, bringing exciting developments to market. But, having developed and put to good use their own Ultra-X performance dacron...
Ozone Zephyr V8 Ultra
Introducing the Zephyr V8 Ultra-X, a light wind specific freeride machine designed for riders of any level who want to enjoy more time on the water. The goal was to enhance the performance of the Zephyr, making it easier and more fun to ride in light winds. With a huge wind range of 6-20 knots, the Zephyr V8 Ultra-X is...
Ozone Catalyst V4
The Catalyst is a great kite for individuals who are new to the sport or riders who want a kite that is fun and boosts confidence. It is designed with ease of use and accessibility as the main focus. This kite is particularly recommended for entry-level to intermediate riders. The Catalyst V4 is extremely stable and easy to launch, land,...
Ozone Enduro V4
A mainstay of the Ozone Kites lineup, the 4th version of the Enduro has undergone a big redesign using Ozone's latest design technology. Still coming into that 3 strut performance all round category, the Enduro V4 has been designed for intermediate to advanced riders who demand a kite to keep up with all conditions and all disciplines thrown at it....
Ozone Torque V3
Ozone's freestyle orientated twin tip, the Torque, has had a serious facelift for this 3rd version. Billed as a high-performance freestyle and freeride board, its square outline and aggressive bottom channelling cry out to be ridden by the aspiring freestyler. New in this third version, Ozone utilises a Hybrid Biax Fiberglass and UD Carbon Beam layup, which has resulted in...
Ozone Code V3
As the trend of big air and that super smooth riding has firmly established itself as the current 'in' style, boards which were once relegated to the more senior cruiser amongst us have now become the go-to. The Code is one of those and is now back for its third version of the popular high-performance freeride board. The Ozone Code...
