Why Choose Ozone?

Ozone has built a reputation on refined, reliable kites and a huge amount of design experience across wind sports. Riders value the brand's smooth handling, predictable power and strong depower, which make the kites both fun and confidence-inspiring. For many kitesurfers, an Ozone kite is a long-term choice, because the build quality and handling hold up season after season.

That blend of reliability, feel and performance is why Ozone appeals to such a broad range of riders.

Ozone Kite Types

• Freeride kites: versatile, stable and forgiving for all-round riding and progression
• Wave and surf kites: tuned for drift and quick, precise handling in surf
• Foil kites: efficient designs for foiling and light wind
• Performance kites: built for riders chasing power, jumps and response

Your discipline and ability guide the choice, from an easy freeride kite to a specialist wave or foil model.

How to Choose the Right Ozone Kite

Choosing an Ozone kite comes down to your weight, your local wind and your discipline. A forgiving freeride design suits riders who are progressing or want an easy all-rounder, while wave, foil and performance models suit specific styles. Easy relaunch and strong depower are especially useful while you are learning. Kite size follows your weight and the wind you ride most, which we cover next.

Kite Sizing and Wind Range

Kite size is measured in square metres and is matched to your weight and the wind strength.

• Lighter wind: a larger kite to generate more power
• Moderate wind: a mid-size kite for the most sessions
• Stronger wind: a smaller kite for control and safety

Most riders build a quiver of two or three sizes chosen around their body weight and local wind, which covers the majority of rideable days through the year.

Handling, Relaunch and Depower

Ozone kites are known for smooth, predictable handling, simple water relaunch and effective depower. Depower lets you reduce the kite's power quickly, which is central to safe, controlled riding and especially valuable while learning. A kite that relaunches easily and depowers well gives you more confidence on the water, which is a big part of the brand's appeal.

Caring for Your Ozone Kite

• Rinse the kite and bar with fresh water after salt sessions and dry fully
• Avoid leaving the kite flapping on the beach, which wears the canopy
• Pack it loosely and store out of direct sun and heat
• Check lines, bridles and the leading edge regularly for wear
• Keep sand and grit out of the valves and pump

Careful storage and regular checks keep an Ozone kite flying well and protect its value.

How Much Do Ozone Kites Cost?

Price reflects the design, technology and build of each kite. Freeride models sit at a more accessible level, while specialist wave, foil and performance kites cost more. A higher price usually buys more refined handling, greater efficiency and a durable build, which committed riders value in a kite they fly often.

Bars and Safety Systems

An Ozone kite is designed to work with its matching bar, which delivers the handling and depower the kite is known for, along with a reliable quick-release safety system. Knowing how to use your release and practising it is an essential part of safe kitesurfing. If you are buying a complete setup, pairing the kite with its intended bar ensures the depower, steering and safety all behave as designed, which is well worth getting right from the start.

Ozone Across Disciplines

Part of Ozone's appeal is the breadth of its experience, which spans kitesurfing, foiling and snowkiting. That deep design knowledge feeds into kites that handle predictably and perform reliably, whichever discipline you ride. For riders who like to explore, from freeride and waves to foiling, choosing a brand with proven designs across so many fields means your gear keeps up as your interests grow, rather than limiting you to one style.
