Ozone Reo V7 Ultra-X

The sharpest tool in the box for radical shredding in serious situations. Experience the closest to pure surfing freedom you could imagine while wave riding with a kite

Ultra-light, ultra-quick, ultra-responsive and ultra-reliable

Applying new but proven lightweight and stiff performance materials, tested across a three year period, has led to the next evolution in the Reo’s stunning legacy.

    Next level wave riding specific design
    High performance, light weight materials for ultimate handling in surf
    Super fast and direct feedback, even at the edge of the window
    Mind blowing drift and slack line control
    Transverse sail shaping for tighter canopy and huge range

This year we have two Reo V7 models.

WHO IS IT FOR?

This second model released alongside the Reo V7 is a razor sharp, laser focused wave kite designed for riders searching for ultimate performance.
The Ultra-X model is designed around the same transversely shaped canopy and air frame skeleton as the Reo V7 but features a 20% lighter dacron and 17% lighter canopy material. This may be one of the lightest pure wave kites on the market, but it’s not all about weight.
As ever our primary focus was on aerodynamic performance and the Ultra-X is stiffer throughout, offering increased drift, reduced nose diving at the edge of the window in radical surf and lightning fast, super-crisp response.
Drift performance and responsiveness at the edge of the window in slack line situations is perhaps the biggest appeal to those searching for true surf performance. While the Reo has always been a pure wave performance machine, all of these lightweight performance handling gains offer huge advantages for the freeride kitefoiler, too.

WHAT’S NEW ON THE V7?

    New refined design and sail control
    Transverse sail shaping results in a cleaner aerofoil for increased performance
    Reduced drag and more drive through the window
    Smoother handling in gusty conditions
    Improved low end
    Thinner bridles than on V6 for reduced parasitic drag and weight

Being more ruggedly built than the Ultra-X version, the meatier material on the V7 is better suited to riders who may regularly rig up and launch / land on more abrasive beaches. The smallest sizes may also be preferable for anyone riding in stronger wind conditions when the extra durability can add peace of mind, at which point the lighter weight materials on the Ultra-X will have less effect on overall performance.
