Ozone Reo 2016 V3 Kite
IN A NUTSHELL...
The Ozone Reo V3 2016 kite offers versatile performance in all wind and wave conditions, direct handling - turns on a dime, mega de-power range, and excellent float and drift. The Reo V3 is the same kite design as the much loved Reo 2015 model, with fresh new colours and Ozone's new Contact-Water Control System with soft bar ends to help protect your surfboard against knocks from the bar.

WAVE RIDING FREEDOM
The Ozone Reo V3 for 2016 is advanced in design yet simple to let you focus on surfing the wave. Versatile performance makes all conditions, from on-shore slop to cross-off barreling reef breaks, fun and easy.
The relatively low aspect kite design combined with fast direct handling generates consistent power to get around sections in a wave. Finely tuned profiles and wing shaping offer unmatched drifting characteristics - as you ride down the line the Reo will float allowing more concentration lining up the next section.
De-powering the Reo V3 is smooth and efficient, canopy luff is progressive which means the kite maintains positive bar pressure and handling throughout the de-power throw range, making the kite very reactive at all angles of attack.
Hooked or un-hooked the Ozone Reo V3 performs to any given task in the waves. Simply trim in with the de-power cleat before unhooking and the Reo V3 2016 will fly and float in unison with your riding movements. If you prefer to ride unhooked often we suggest connecting the back lines to the longer knot position. To customise bar pressure and turning speed use the rear tabs on the wingtips where the back bridle lines attach.
As with all Ozone products, they pride themselves with top of the line manufacturing in their own factory, using the highest quality materials suited for the job. The 2016 Reo V3 is constructed with quality proven Teijin D2 canopy material and Teijin Dacron providing a crisper feel and a stronger kite. The Reo V3 is designed tough without the need of unnecessary cosmetic items that only add weight and drag which reduce performance.
