We’ve pushed the jumping performance at the bottom end of each size too, so you can practice your tricks in calmer conditions.

The Vortex will make you believe you can land your tricks.

Push yourself harder, stay up there longer. No drama and no surprises; just smooth control that lets you focus on the sensation not the fear.
Big air, dynamic loops, a super reliable catch every time and huge smiles. The Vortex is on your team.

Vortex design

• Performance without boundaries. Ultra-x tuning with the ultimate material selection
• Aluula airframe is lightweight and stiff, the best combination for low wind power and high wind control
• Lighter weight canopy material used on size 10m and above for ultimate low end performance
• 3-strut design ensures high agility
• 16-point leading edge bridle connection ensures extreme stability in combination with stiff aluula airframe
• Double transversal shaping results in tight and efficient canopy for the most efficient flying feel
• High-strength and low drag technora bridle lines cut the air with minimal drag

The Vortex is fast, has a very strong vertical lift after take-off, and delivers solid hangtime. Finding all three of these qualities in one kite is rare. This consistency in all areas has given me a huge confidence boost, which is so important when it comes to nailing new tricks.

“The Vortex V2 has even more vertical lift and the feedback through turns is further refined. It still feels like the Vortex I love, but improved in the areas that matter most to me.”
- Jinne Boer, extreme big air rider

What’s new in the Ozone Vortex V2?

• even more direct feel and tighter control re-worked canopy tension in each size alongside a stiffer leading edge delivers pin point handling feedback. Know where the kite is without ever needing to look at it!
• even longer lasting performance new anti flap battens positioned on underside of the canopy with added reinforcements reduce canopy wear, ensuring your kite performs like new for longer
• extra lightwind firepower: Sizes 10m to 17m now feature our proven lighter weight double ripstop 46g canopy. By shaving off up to 150g, we’ve created big-sized kites that rival the agility of much smaller models and can compete with similar size foil kites for power
• new 17m size designed for riders who refuse to stop riding hard when the wind is light. To date, it’s the lightest 3-strut kite on the market
• high wind durability smaller sizes (9m and below) continue to use our triple ripstop 55g canopy cloth for ballistic strength on the big days
• further enhanced depower and feeling small tweaks to the Vortex’s signature 16-point bridle system have further contributed to the overall handling delight

Rapid response in unison with huge lift and hangtime. The magic combination explained by lead designer, Dom Zimmermann:

“The Vortex’s high-aspect shape is similar to our pure big air and hangtime machine, the edge. “while the Vortex also has a lot of depower, and is awesome for any sort of boosting, the difference is that it has more handling response for megaloop performance – and even double and triple loops if you dare! “much of that comes from the extra arc shape, which increases the handling response. It also moves the rotation point further into the middle of the kite. The Vortex has a beautiful balance between movement and power, gripping the entire way around its turn.

“No slips. No ‘wheel-spinning’ if you like. No momentary loss of control. Power, consistent speed of movement, and control at your fingertips. “the 3-strut design is a great base for agility which we combined with light weight materials and the unbeatable stiffness of the aluula airframe. The Vortex feels assured in strong and gusty winds, while also injecting a huge amount of performance for those tricky light wind sessions. “we work closely with the expert manufacturing teams at our in-house production facility and can fine tune the designs with the power of our integrated and custom-built ozcad design system.
“From the r&d team at the beach, through our design software to our factory teams, everything we do is in sync, because we own, control and constantly evolve every step of the process.
“as a result, every panel cut is millimetre perfect, and every stitch is made with precision, creating a beautifully tight canopy tension that’s consistent across the kite, laid across a powerful air frame that’s light weight, but very strong.
“everything feels like it’s working seamlessly as one block and why you’ll never lose connection to the kite.
“we wanted to build a kite that inspires confidence in all situations. I recommend you book a demo and try one!”
