| Since its debut the Ozone Reo has been a groundbreaking dedicated wave kite. It has been designed solely with the surfer in mind. There is no doubt that the Reo does what it sets out to achieve‚ allow the rider to concentrate on the wave. Its fast direct handling, stability, massive de-power and ability to drift make this kite unique and a perfect choice for wave hounds. It was designed and tested only with surfboards, as that is the Reo’s sole purpose in life. We have had nothing but very positive feedback from riders all over the world, many of whom have expressed how the Reo has helped improve their wave riding ability. As ever, please don’t just believe the hype, take a test ride and become a believer. |

| The Delta C Shape design, the revolutionary patent known to F-ONE, is the base of the Bandits development. With 5 best-seller editions, the choice of the Delta shape speaks for itself and is known to be a great long-term option. This shape guarantees an easy relaunch, with the auto-relaunch feature and offers a great performance in all kiteboarding disciplines. In conjunction with the EVO bridal system, which allows a 5th line safety system but without the inconvenient, the design is a definite winner. Compared to other kite shapes with great depower, the Bandit’s bar depowers on a short distance, which allows the rider to depower completely his kite without having to extend the arms fully and offers more reactivity. |
 |
| After winning numerous magazines tests and extremely positive feedback from our Airush customers, the 2013 Airush Lithium was going to be a challenge to make better. Staying as the front-runner in all-terrain kites, the Lithium is focused on being the do-all kite for the everyday rider. Due to its wing tip and strut positioning, the Lithium has a direct and agile feel through the turns, essential for wave and freeriding. The sweep of the Delta Hybrid design of the wingtips guarantees a hassle free and quick relaunch. The Lithium is ideal for riders looking to do a bit of everything, whether it’s your first day, cruising, freestyle or riding waves! |
 |
| As if making the best kiteboards on the planet weren't enough, Crazyfly has once again upped the ante with their 2013 gear. Still boasting a full line of amazing boards, including twin tips, surfboards, and a skimboard. Best selling boards like the Allround and Raptor LTD continue to push Crazyfly in the conversations of "what board do you ride?" They've also taken their quality production into the kite world, producing the 2013 Crazyfly Sculp that already have 3 World Record under it's belt. They couldn't be happier with the warm reception the kite world has given to the 2013 gear. |

2012 Wainman kites The Wainman kites are different from just about every other kite out on the market. What really impresses me about the Wainman kite is its super simple and clean setup. The bar system is as simple as it will get, only three struts to pump up, and the bridle is so simple it seems kind of weird even calling it a bridle. This of course means that setup is nice and simple, just pump up, tie the lines on and go. No tuning was necessary, the Wainman kite flew perfect fresh from the factory. First thoughts when the kite was put up is the kite feels super stable, and the bar feedback is very positive - you always know exactly where the kite is. On the water the Wainman develops tons of low end power and turns produce tons of power. This is the first "bridled" kite that I have tried that develops power the whole way through the turn very similar to a C kite. Most other bow or hybrid kites will turn and then develop power. Wainman kites develop power immediately. The Wainman Series Comes In the Wainman Bunny 5m, Wainman Gypsy 7m, Wainman Smoke 9m, Wainman Boss 12m, and the Wainman Big Mama 15m. |
