A story of the original wave machine | Ozone Reo V7 & V7 Ultra-X launch

To mark the launch of the new Ozone Reo V7 wave kite that's now available in two model choices, we take a look back at where the inspiration for the original Reo came from and reveal the latest performance developments. Released in late 2011, the Reo V1 was among the first kites to be developed with a pure focus on wave riding. We've come a long way across seven generations of this kite design that has always been built to allow the ultimate feeling of freedom on a wave.
Which model would you choose?
REO V7: Two years after the V6 launched, now tuned more tightly than ever, the Reo V7 is a pure fire mix of speed, power control, drift and rapid relaunch, delivering thrilling sessions every time you hit the water. Any wave, anywhere; this is your go-to surf performance kite.
Designed for good intermediates and beyond, the V7 is faster, smoother and has a bigger range with the Transverse sail shaping design resulting in a cleaner aerofoil and tighter canopy for increased performance.

V7 ULTRA-X: For radical shredding in serious situations. Ultra-light, ultra-quick, ultra-responsive and ultra-reliable. Experience the closest to pure surfing freedom you could imagine while riding with a kite.
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.

This looks exciting ! I have a branded (World Net) V1 Reo 10m2 that is still my favourite wave foiling kite and flat water free ride style foiling kite. I have a v3 Reo 8m2 that is ok but needs a bit more wind. What size Reo v7 would replace my V1 with similar power generation?

Hey, great to hear about your previous Reo experience! Thanks for your question. You can work on the assumption that the V7 can provide a similar output to previous versions in around two knots less of wind, especially with good steering skills to work the kite to its full potential. The V7 Ultra-X of course has more advantage from being lighter - the kite will fly up in the wind window faster on the upstroke, stays in the air easier in super light wind, has quicker turn initiation / faster response etc. but overall you could compare a V7 9m with a previous 10m version in terms of raw power.

@@flyozone I'm starting with wave riding (kiting on TT from 2017) you think would be better to go for the traditional Reo V7 or the V7 Ultra-X would still give me only more advantages also if I'm an intermediate kiter? I'm asking because I see that the UltraX is indicated as more specific for experts on the website
