Cynthia Brown >> REO Review

Ozone Kitesurf — Mon, 14 May 2012 14:29:52 +0000

The Ozone REO is a dream machine for every kind of Surf-Style kiting. The three strut design translates to feather weight, which is crucial in those moments when the lines go slack, or the breeze is thin.

While riding down the line the kite fades deeper into the wind window allowing you to concentrate on working the wave rather then flying the kite. With the stock bar, the Reo is near impossible to back stall, which makes riding unhooked crazy easy.

The kite is so stable yet lightning fast through the turns. If you find your timing is off when hitting the lip or turning off the top, no problem as the Reo will be where you want it with just a flick of the wrist.

In the looping arena, there is no other contender. This kite loops so fast from it’s center with no delay, which is a must for landing sent strapless airs or low wind tacks. The ability to unspin your lines on the fly is also a bonus that many other control bars don’t offer.

Whether riding strapped, strapless, waves or chop, the Reo is a guaranteed grin maker, and is the ultimate tool to take everyone’s kitesurfing skills to the next level.

Paramotoring With Rob Whittall

Ozone Kitesurf — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:48:10 +0000

Rob Whittall, co-founder of Ozone Paragliders and chief designer of Ozone Kites and Speed-Wings, recently starred in this short film about the beautiful PPG flying in New Zealand.

The footage is inspiring on many levels - the natural vistas of the NZ coast, the tranquil glides over green landscapes, and the convenience of taking off and landing from home without being at the mercy of thermals

Fly alongside Rob as he soars above New Zealand’s West Coast with his Paramotor, in search of a little soul satisfaction. White Cloud Productions NZ joined forces with Rob to capture stunning images of Raglan and the surrounding area…presenting Surreal Perspectives.

Enjoy

Erika Heineken >> PKRA Mexico

Ozone Kitesurf — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 03:33:16 +0000

I’m here in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, competing in my first PKRA event. It feels great to finally be here with my brother, Johnny, competing on the international scene. There are about 25 racers from more than 10 countries, including 6 women in the fleet.

In the first 3 days we had 7 races total. I rode on all 3 Ozone Edges I registered for the event, 17m, 13m, & 9m, which shows the variety of wind conditions we’ve seen. With the constantly changing wind conditions, we’ve all seen how important it is to be comfortable racing on a kite that’s not quite ideal for the immediate conditions. For the first race of the event, there were riders on all kites between the sizes of 18m and 9m. I’m learning the importance of kite choice verses my competitors, and feel that had I made better kite choices I would have much more competitive.

One of the best female riders in the world is here, Katja Roose, and it’s been fun battling with her for first. I managed to beat her in 2 of the 7 races, and I’m holding onto second place overall for the women. Nuria Goma (Ozone) has been third in every race. Johnny is in first place overall after winning 4 races, with Bryan Lake in second and Adam Koch (Ozone) in third. Once again my local San Francisco guys are dominating the event, but there’s plenty of international competitors who are in the top of the pack. It’s good to see the Ozone Edge holding down 6 of the top 10 places at a pro tour event….

Today the wind was light and offshore, so we didn’t race. The standings stayed the same with Johnny holding down first place, Bernie in 2nd, and Adam in 3rd. I’m stoked on my 2nd place finish in my first ever PKRA event, and ready for the next one! Thanks for all the help Ozone.

Ash Garwood >> Berichtet aus Safety Bay

Ozone Kitesurf — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 20:29:31 +0000

Hi miteinander,

meine Zeit hier neigt sich langsam dem Ende aber ich hatte gerade genug Zeit neben dem Kiten ein weiteres Video dieser brillianten Location zu machen.

Der Auftrag, den ich mir selbst für dieses Video gab, war der zu zeigen wie gut der 2012er C4 7m ist. Ich hatte viele Sessions mit dem 7m hier unten in den kraftvollen Seabreezes, die häufig die 30kn Marke erreichen und ch wollte einfach zeigen, wie viel Spaß der 7m C4 in solchen Windbedingungen macht. Mit seiner abartigen Depower und der fantastischen Stabilität ist es der perfekte Kite für Starkwindsessions.

In dem Video fährt der neue deutsche Ozone Teamrider Felix Stelter und eine junge 17 jährige Local-Maschine namens Jaydan Bosveld.

Ich hoffe euch gefällt das Video, zeigt es bitte auch Euren Freunden.

Danke fürs Anschauen!

Ozone Kitesurf — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 01:33:59 +0000

Hi zusammen,

hier ein Bericht von Grahame Booker nach einem kürzlichen Trip nach Western Australia mit Steve McCormack. Die Jungs fuhren nach WA, um ein 4-Leiner Instructionshoot zu machen und Händler zu besuchen. Einer von diesen befindet sich in der wohl bekannten Safety Bay.
Jason Lewis von WestOzkiteboarding hat ausgeholfen und sein überaus talentiertes Team vorgestellt, wo auch Felix Steltner zugehört. Einiges Filmmaterial kam von Felix und Ash Garwood (Push Kiting Mitglied http://vimeo.com/pushkiting), gedreht in der Nähe von Albany. Im Laufe der Woche fuhren sie nach Wedge Island und Lancellin, um einiges mehr zu drehen.

Ash Garwood >> Project C4

Ozone Kitesurf — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 02:51:44 +0000

Hi everyone, Ash Garwood here reporting from Safety Bay, Western Australia on my time away from land boarding learning the way of the kite surfer.

Its been a while since I’ve wrote any thing here, this is my second season riding on the water, I’ve been riding the C4’s for over 3 seasons on the land and naturally to help myself progress on the land and incorporate different tricks into my style I’ve been kite surfing to learn the unhooked moves which no one else has yet to land on a land board. Using the C4’s I’ve been able to progress very quickly developing my style and taste for new school unhooked riding very easily. I love particularly the power these kites produce, they constantly pull but still provide you with that much needed slack line mid trick enabling you to pass the bar easily. I’ve found my progression has been constant and with the beautiful conditions of the spot I have been riding I have been able to push myself to start ticking off tricks on my wish list.

I have also found my self behind the camera a lot this season as well, i have recently invested in new equipment and have been using my knowledge of kite boarding to get some sweet clips down. I wanted to create a video which shows how the C4 has no limits and how it is just a sweet kite to ride.

Featured in the video is 21 year old Felix Stelter (GER) Glenn Swart (GER) and 17 year old Jayden Bosveld … here is what Jayden has to say about his views on the C4:

“This is the first year that I’ve been riding the C4, but I very quickly began to like everything about it. This kite is very smooth in the air and has a really nice direct feel to it. It gives a very solid pop and leaves a bit of slack in the lines making it perfect for handle passes. The looping capabilities of this kite are great; it gives a strong, grunty pull and is quick to catch you before you land. What really struck me with this kite was the attention to detail – the rubber coated center line at the bar prevents you from chaffing your fingers away; the hardy valve system is simple and impossible to break (every other kite I have had has had issues with the valve popping open, but I have had no problem with the C4); the lines are thin and smooth but feel extremely solid and the general build quality of the C4 is impeccable. The C4’s graphical design is simple and aesthetically pleasing as well, and my mum likes them because she can easily recognize its distinguished features and so can easily find me in a crowd of kites.”

The video was filmed down at Albany and Safety Bay. Please enjoy it as I have making it, it was filmed using a Canon 600D with an 11-16mm Wide angle.

Thanks for reading and may the wind be kind
