Reo Stevens' first proper dose of monster wave 🌊 riding with the Reo V5 was in Peahi, Hawaii last year. Here explains to us exactly what he experienced while out there and how he is eager for the beasts to return this season for his next dose of adrenaline.
"I never thought my first time trying to catch a wave there (on any craft) would be the day that they called the contest off because it was "too big".
One thing is for sure when it comes to riding #Peahi with a kite, riding the wave is 25% of the skill needed, the other part is actually flying the kite and dealing with the 10-45knt swirling winds that are coming off the wave (it's like kiting in a tornado). Really with these offshore winds, any kiter is just edging and running down the line not really "riding the wave" but rather just trying to keep up with it and keeping the kite in front of the lip line. But that is more because of the conditions of that day with winds being "as offshore and gusty as anyone's ever experienced in waves of that size"
The idea that the wind actually turns more side shore has really left me wanting to try it again as the potential for what is possible out there is unbelievable."

Ozone Hyperlink V2
Ozone have been the brand to watch of late, this dedicated small group of passionate riders have been pumping out incredible products for a long time. In recent years their innovation seems to have taken things up a notch or two. The Hyperlink is a case in point. Launched a couple of years ago, the kite aimed to bridge the…
Ozone Alpha V1
Another genre of kite we are seeing boom recently is the single strut. Single strut kites are a brilliant addition to your quiver, or even replacements for your quiver. They tend to be very lightweight, pack down much smaller for traveling, have huge amounts of depower and many are now performing incredibly well. Ozone have the Uno which is a…
Ozone Amp V1
An entirely new kite from Ozone, the Amp has been designed for those dedicated freestyle and park riders who need a tool to help them progress. Featuring 5 struts, a mid to high aspect ratio, both 4 and 5 line options and a C kite shaped design, the Amp has all the attributes to keep you at the top of…
Ozone Base V1
Ozone started their board factory last year, and since then have pumped out a five board line up which has caused quite a stir in the kitesurfing world. We got our hands on the Base V1 which is an entry to intermediate level freeride twin tip to suit those riders who are just out of lessons and their first few…
Ozone Catalyst V2
Ozone’s dedicated freeride kite, the Catalyst has come back for round 2 and promises to build on the successes of the first incarnation. A 3-strut hybrid kite, the Catalyst V2 has been designed with ease of use and simplicity in mind. The kite is made with industry-leading Teijin Technoforce D2 and Teijin Dacron for canopy quality and has been developed…
Ozone Infinity V1
Since the inception of the Zephyr a decade ago, Ozone have been synonymous with light wind riding fun. Fast-forward to now and we see foiling firmly taking over. However, what about those who simply love to shred and throw themselves around more akin to those 20 knot days? Enter the Infinity. This is a light wind board with a difference.…
Ozone Reo V5
Building on the success of the Reo V4, the Ozone Reo is back in version 5 (V5) to make its mark once again as one of the top performing wave riding specific kites. The main structure of the kite has stayed the same with 3 struts, large inflate/deflate valve with 1 pump, a pulley-less bridle system and direct line attachments.…
Ozone Chrono V3
The Chrono entered the kite world way back in 2014 when foil kites were still something of a novelty. Move on 4 years, and the Chrono is now one of many foil kites available on the market but holds its stead as one of the most dependable all-around performance foils. Now in Version 3, the designers have taken some of…
Ozone Code V1
The Code V1 is Ozone’s first foray into board building, and they have not done it lightly. Famous already for their own purpose-built factory, they have done the same with their board line and grown their factory to accommodate a new production facility. The Code V1 has been designed as a high-end freeride board. Available in 4 sizes, it will…
Ozone Enduro V2
The Enduro V1 was one of Ozone’s biggest sellers. Suiting a vast array of people for different kite activities, we have been eagerly anticipating its updated version, the V2 we have here, to see what improvements Ozone have made. Still the same spec, a 3-strut mid aspect all-rounder, Ozone have taken their winning formula and tweaked it until they have…
Ozone Torque V1
Ozone’s entry into the board game started earlier this year with the impressive Code V1 freeride board. We didn’t think it would be long until a freestyle board joined the lineup, and only a few short months later we were introduced to the Torque V1. Designed as an uncompromising freestyle board, it also happens to be a solid choice as…
Ozone Edge V9
Needing no , the Ozone Edge has led the way for speed and hangtime amongst inflatable kites for years. Back once again with Version 9 (V9), we were curious to see what improvements could be made to the already impressive kite. A 5-strut kite, it is high aspect and built to let you charge as hard as possible around a…
