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 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
The Vortex Ultra-X is a finely tuned powerhouse designed for thrill-seekers looking to elevate their twin-tip riding experience. Crafted for riders with an intermediate to pro level skill set, this kite promises an exhilarating ride with its big air performance capabilities. With a three-strut design enhanced by an Aluula airframe, the Vortex Ultra-X boasts exceptional stability and agility, setting it...
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...
Ozone Reo V6
The Reo is the dedicated wave kite from Ozone, perfect for the rider who wants an uncompromising tool to maximise every session. Ozone is known for only releasing new products when it is ready, and the new Reo V6 comes with updated material technologies and tweaks to the design to further improve the flying characteristics. We've long been fans of...
Ozone Alpha V2
With many people wanting to get more time on the water (even in light winds) and the travel restrictions making places with consistently strong winds harder to access, the popularity of single strut kites has increased exponentially. As most kiters’ local spots do not have as consistent a breeze as they would like, people are looking for a “do it...
