Some time ago Ozone has announced that they will design a kite dedicated especially to wave and surfboard riders. It was good news for the waveriders looking for extra power, fast speed and super maneuverability. The good news has turned to reality with the release of the REO. Just as the Ozone team has promised, this kite excels at waveriding. After an extensive process of research and development, Ozone has blended power, speed, control and usability into one single wave dedicated flying machine.

Waveriding has turned into a very popular kiteboarding discipline over the past seasons and it gathers a large number of fans. Especially for them, Ozone has come up with REO, a unique flying machine. The REO is the dream of any true surfboard wave rider looking for fast speed and down the line performance. All the Ozone team was involved in the research and development of the REO, and it has done an amazing job.
The kite is perfect for hooked or unhooked tricks as well as for strapped or strapless rides. The REO deploys mega power when it is pushed by hardcore and extreme riders looking to rip through the waves, but it is also easy to handle and reliable for the less experienced rider. The amazing thing about the Ozone REO is that it works together with the rider’s body and responds accurately to every command.
The 4 line pulley free system improves handling and assures an easy setup. Fast setup is also assured by the One Pump inflation system. The kite is ready to go in just minutes and the rider can spend more time on the waves, enjoying a fantastic session. Handling and bar pressure can be adjusted to suit the rider’s specific needs due to the multiple trimming options. The REO has impressive drift characteristics as well as a huge depower range. If the kite is crashed it gets up in the air in no time thanks to the easy back line relaunch system.
The Ozone REO has a direct and precise handling and the rider can actually feel the kite as he cruises through the waves. With the release of the REO, Ozone has practically redefined waveriding, and if you love this style, you will love this kite. As Ozone team says, the REO “is a dedicated wave rider’s kite”.
