Introducing the Reo V7: Elevate Your Wave Riding Experience
 
Two years after the groundbreaking V6 launch, the iconic Reo returns, finely tuned and more exhilarating than ever as the Reo V7. This kite is a thrilling fusion of speed, power, control, drift, and swift relaunch. With joystick-like control, it promises electrifying sessions every time you hit the water.
 
Your Ultimate Surf Performance Kite
The Reo V7 is the go-to surf performance kite, designed to conquer any wave, anywhere. Its wave riding-specific design, improved low-end performance, and transverse sail shaping for a cleaner canopy make it the ideal choice for riders who demand nothing but the best.
 
What's New on the V7?
Refined design and sail control
Transverse sail shaping for increased performance
Reduced drag and enhanced drive through the window
Smoother handling in gusty conditions
Improved bottom-end performance
Thinner Dyneema bridles for reduced parasitic drag and weight
 
Pure Performance, No Compromises
Our 'Born Light: Genetically Strong' ethos is evident in every aspect of the Reo V7, meticulously crafted in our Vietnam factory. This kite maintains its lightweight profile, ensuring it's as light as (if not lighter than) most other top-end wave kite models on the market.
 
Tailored for Wave Riding
The Reo V7 is exclusively designed for pure wave riding, not freeride or jumping. It adheres to a low aspect three-strut platform, offering rapid turning response, silky-smooth movement through the window, and a wide handling sweet spot that extends through a broader wind range.
 
What You Feel with the Reo V7:
Incredible pure wave performance handling
Excellent drift and reduced drag
Crisp feel at the bar
Faster response and broader range, especially in the low end
More drive through the window
Reduced tendency to nose dive at the edge of the window when lines slacken
Later luffing means better feedback and handling across a wider wind range
Excellent stability across the entire wind window
More feeling, more feedback, more control
 
Why You Feel It:
New refined design and sail control
Transverse sail shaping results in a cleaner aerofoil for increased performance
Improved and cleaned up aerofoil section delivers more drive through the window
Reduced drag
Improved low end
Thinner Dyneema bridles than on V6 for reduced parasitic drag and weight
Two back-line tab settings to tweak bar pressure and turning speed
Lightweight EVA anti-flap battens improve overall aerodynamic flow and trailing edge finish
Thin leading edge diameter for the lightest weight-to-rigidity ratio
Compact, low-aspect planform with intricate sail shaping for fast handling and direct response
Low volume three-strut design to keep weight down while maintaining maximum support for the canopy
 
Variable Bridle Geometry (VBG):
Quickly and easily adjust the kite's settings with no extra lines to add or remove. The Reo V7 offers two settings for versatility:
Offshore Setting: Balanced and refined feel with good forward speed, perfect for most conditions. Ideal for cross-shore to offshore winds. The kite can sit further to the edge of the wind window when de-powered, allowing for smooth drifting.
Onshore Setting: The kite sits a little further back in the wind window, making it ideal for onshore conditions. Increased bar pressure enhances the kite's feel when riding with a pushing wind-driven wave.
 
The Importance of Aerodynamics
We understand the significance of aerodynamics and weight-saving, especially for drift. Every detail has been refined to make the Reo V7 as lightweight as possible while maintaining the strength and integrity you expect from Ozone.
 
Customize Your Experience
Unhooked riders will find the Reo V7 incredibly responsive. Trim in with the cleat before unhooking, or adjust the Control Systems back leader lines for longer positions to match your unhooked riding style. Customize bar pressure and turning speed with the rear line adjustment tabs on the kite.
 
Effortless Relaunch
Re-launching is quick and easy, ensuring you can get back into action in no time. Simply turn the bar or use the Re-launch Balls on the leader lines, and the Reo V7 will roll over and take off from the water swiftly. Perfect for escaping the impact zone when time is of the essence!
