Ozone launches Reflex kite, presents Vortex V2 Ultra X at AWSI 2026

Ozone has launched the new Reflex kite. The brand also presented its Vortex V2 Ultra X kite at AWSI 2026. Jesse Richman introduced both models, detailing their characteristics and intended use. The Reflex is positioned as an all-around kite, suitable for twin tip, surfboard, and foil disciplines. It features Dacron construction, contributing to a more accessible price point. The brand highlights its quick, snappy response, particularly in surf conditions. In contrast, the Vortex V2 Ultra X is described as a big-air, double-looping performance model, utilized by top riders. Richman detailed its 16-point bridle system. Ozone differentiates the two kites by their primary attributes, contrasting the Reflex's forgiveness with the Vortex's punch. The introduction of the Reflex expands Ozone's offerings to cater to a broader range of riders seeking a versatile option, while the Vortex V2 Ultra X remains focused on high-performance big air. Both kites are now featured on Ozone's official website.
